Paging Lovestoteach

Hi Loves,

Had out of state visitors over the weekend, so was unable to get back to your question. When I did attempt to locate it, no luck.

Was your thread poofed or deleted? Perhaps you can direct me to it's location.

Thanks so much!

I don't think anything got proofed.

I do remember asking you for an update about how you are doing these days since moving? Are you settled in?

Hi Loves,

Well now I'm more confused than I was before I started this thread. As I recall, in your new thread, which was a bit lengthy, you asked opinions of a few specific people: one was hckynutjohn, me and maybe 1 or 2 additional.

It had something to do with Internal Med, how systems have changed and 1 or 2 additional queries. Darn if I can remember (it's this Depacote my neuro put me on).

If anything comes to mind, let me know.

We're still getting settled in. One bright spot was being able to take our things out of storage and integrate some into our house and store the remainder in a rental garage here in our townhouse community. The developer built an additional 4 garages for those that might need them, so now we're paying $70 a month for really close storage instead of a bundle more. Our "storage" stuff has basically been unavailable since 2001. Each time we bring a few boxes up to our place, it's like Christmas.

***

Remember when I started "Are you falling apart?" about 5 or so years ago? Well, now I'm really falling apart. The diminished amount of epoetin produced by my kidneys has fallen, which means the bone marrow is producing less red blood cells. This equates to not good anemia. That Depakote is now necessary for the waking seizures I have (myoclonic) due to the anesthesia used during my knee replacement surgery. And he beat goes on.

How are you doing?

@sfnative

I'm very sorry that you are now really falling apart BOO

My current status is that I am being referred to a pulmonologist. If this is asthma, and I need to use inhalations, that is ok with me!

Perhaps this will help with the sinuses,too.

Good to hear from you, sfnative!❤️

@LTT1

Hoping this step into the world of pulmonology will find solutions for you. I had a friend, some years ago, who suffered from what seemed to be several related disorders, only to find that she had asthma that required several inhalers. She was so much better and happier after commencing treatment. All the best, as you walk through this new clinical adventure.

@sfnative... Thank you! That would be a miracle! I think we both could use some miracles

Wanted to tell you that I'm reading a new book recommended here in the boards by Lilac Tree "The Autoimmune Connection."

It mentions autoimmune attack of bone marrow erythropoietin in RA. (This is as far as I have gotten).

The inter-connection of various disease processes is now being more well-known.

Did not know if this book would have any information pertinent to your health concerns, but wanted to mention.💙

@LTT1, @sfnative, big (((hugs)))! It is so easy to take good health for granted.

Are you surviving all these 'extremely high' levels of Tree Pollen lately?

Thank you for the recommendation. I already have colitis, so know that there are issues going on in my body of which I know nothing at this time Various docs have suspected a number of AI diseases, but all of the tests have come back in the negative thus far. I'm very thankful for that. (Got the colitis from my paternal grandmother.)

Within a year of getting married, I decided to get serious and find an Internist (was still in college at this time). Boy, did I get a winner. During one of my appointments, I asked him this: if he had the opportunity to revisit his Residency, what would he choose? Without skipping beat, he said Immunology (and this was back in 1970).

Please let me now how things go for you. (I need to leave this page, as it's jumping all over the place, making my migraine worse today.)

Take Care.
