Terri's husband sent a note to JC telling him that Terri had been taken to the hospital with severe seizures, while there, they discovered Pleurisy in her lungs. She is on oxygen, being given IV fluids.
Terri is a member of fibro, a Moderator of Lupus and Sjogren's.
Special prayers for her speedy and complete recovery.
I'd posted something earlier on this thread but I don't see it. I sure hope that Terri is doing better. Seizures sound like very serious business. I'm praying that she's on the road to recovery at this time.
I'm sorry, I thought I had posted that Terri was home! I am on so many different sites with her that I guess I posted everywhere but here! I apologize! I haven't been over to Lupus or Sjogren's so I'll go check on her now, as long as the baby stays asleep, I'll be right back!
Terri just posted a few hours ago, I needed to make sure she had not been readmitted. Sorry, I though Allergic or I had let you all know, but that may have been on another thread! Hopefully she'll come say Hi!
"Thank you Susan for adding this thread - So thoughtful"
To all members and friends who have given their best wishes with full concern.
I came out of hospital with pleurisy but the antibiotic's was'nt helping so i went back and saw a stand in doctor for my GP...she gave me my b12 shot listened to my chest, said it was all congested besides having bronchitis....within days it progressed went back and saw my GP as he was on, he listened to my chest and said that my bronchitis is there and pulled me off the other Antibiotic's and put me on "CLARITHROMYCIN" 500mg tablets 2 daily...i asked him twice if i had a cold no answer...these tablets are for sinus trouble, bronchitis, pneumonia and respitary problems and he send me up the hospital for an x-ray on my chest and he said when the results come back furthur treatment will carry on from there, so at the moment i'm clueless.
These are the symptoms i'm having and each day they feel worse:
My head feels full of flu,
Nose bleeds daily
fetching up blood
Vision is affected (double vision) besides pressure behind the eyes
Severe pain in the lungs
Very weak & feel like i'm going to pass out.
Plus ontop it's kicked chronic flares off so i've got my skin involved, organs etc and i can't tell you how totally depressed i am.
Everyone Happy new year for 2013 and i hope it's a better one for we all with our health...Love you loads Terri xxx
Cheers mate i'm doing my best with the sites but it's my eyes and i think it's TB i've got...i mean i've had colds pleurisy, pneumonia and my bronchitis since i was in my early 20s but nothing so extreme as this.
I've seen an opthamologist twice because of me being on plaquenil and also have sjogren's...i use two different eye drops besides a gel daily and have to put in each ine alternatively every hour, the eye specialist i did see 3mths ago said my eyes are completley dry besides my tear ducts and when i saw my rheumo he said they need plugging now, just waiting for the appointment for the eye specialist, as i have bad eye sight besides, i'm long and short sighted the muscles in the back of my eyes are damaged my vision changes constantley in each eye, i've got slant vision besides being colour blind.
Well if your eyes also itch and get dry, you may have sjogren's as it usually follows alot of autoimmune diseases, i'd see if you have it.
I'm not sure if this bluuredness is through the antibiotic's or what and while typing i'm really having to study my typing, i could scream mate.
So sorry your recovery has not been complete by now. Hopefully these new antibiotics will 'knock it out of you'! I'll tell you everyday there seems to be something else!
I hope that your Drs can get together and get you well, we want your suffering to stop!
Thanks for stopping in, we'll keep the love and prayers coming your way!
This is my 4th day on them and it's not easing and now my eyes are getting affecting with blurredness...i've had some issues in the past but nothing like this.
Susan i'll answer your pm mate tomorrow please bare with me on LWL but the amount of emails i've had on discussions...i just hope i can catch up.
Your all so lovely and caring on here and thank you my friend for caring like you have besides adding this discussion.
Love you loads my dear friend and enjoy your new year. xxx
