Hard to write this thread without sharing a lengthy health saga. Ill try to be brief...GL
I know intellectually the benfits of biologics. However, I am on call for a lymph node removal, thyroid cancer screening - ongoing...polycyctic ovaries and and bladder nerve conduction issues. Notwithstanding several back surgeries. And an overdo hip replacement.
I have flare up and my face is presenting now as lupus and MS. Wow one big mix.
I had 4 doctors tell me I will have cardio vascular disease.
Ironically, had shortness of breath and chest pain and landed up being screened for blood clot last Friday night in my emergency room.
Bottom line I had a panic attack for fear of using a biologic- I think. I was calm had no idea and I had anxiety.
Apparently you breathe in so much and you get dizzy, shaky and faint and your blood pressure goes up and you feel like you are dying.
I am still on hold for remicade....in the mean time....
I am trying a new version of skin cap Ps Val?, kalawalia?
and maybe as a last resort a Dr. no names mentioned- protocol....
I took 60 blood tests last week for his asessment. My friend who has breast and ovarian cancer genectics. and had near death issues with lymph leaking in her body
... found him, pleaded with me to try it out.
plus the BHIH hormones etc....I m kind burnt on the alternative thing,
but I figured why not she looks fabulous lost 25 pounds.. radiant... at 51 and sufferred....
I also got a virus after giving lots of blood last week....... and that was part of the whole dam nightmare.
It gets better.....I gave the virus to it to my husband, who is on bed rest with his automine disease. (two peas in a dam pod).
Trying to not feel sorry at all. I just got very anxious and it is embarassing; not good at having stiff upper lip - no kidding.
I am not taking xanax or tranquilzers.
I have work to do and this has been quite debilitating on many levels. Making the most of a scary situation that could be worse...trying to not catastrophize....
Ill be in touch
Battling myself
