Guest guest Posted September 25, 1998 Report Share Posted September 25, 1998 Well , I just got back from an all day doc appt. and not only am I exhaused, I am depressed. Need some cheering up. For the past 3 weeks, my RA and everything else has been flaring. But on top of that I have been getting major dizzy spells, hot flashes, short of breath, nauseas, pain in ears,and so tired I have to literally take 3 breaks doing dishes and it has been an effort to go from bed to the recliner. So into doc I go. I have pleurisy inmy right lung, pnuemonia in left. (didnt know you could have both), and inner ear hemorrage against the ear drum on both sides, worse on right it is bleeding, a thryroid imbalance and I am anemic. AND he will call me with the rest of the results tomorrow and it looks like I will be going in the hospital maybetomorrow. I will know more then. WHat next???? My immune system is so comprimised that I can't fight off anything and everything is going whacky(medical term..still have some sense of humor).I want to just curl up into fetal position and shut out everything. This sucks,life sucks...pain isn't enough? My joints are the size of cantaloupes and then this. I am whining. I am sorry. Guess I needed to AGAIN. Forgive me. THanks for listening.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 1998 Report Share Posted September 25, 1998 Hi Lyn; sounds rough but I recognize some of the symptoms, > For the past 3 weeks, my RA and everything else has been flaring. But on > top of that I have been getting major dizzy spells this is probably because you run too fast, slow down >, hot flashes, menopause ? My gets those. > short of breath that's from smoking too much, I get that >, nauseas from pregnancy, there is an old Chinese remedy for this but you don't want to know right now. I got it from a documentary on Hong Kong. , pain in ears don't know that one, pain in the a__ I know about >,and so tired I have to literally take 3 breaks doing dishes instead of taking 3 breaks doing 1 job, try washing them every 3 days and taking just 1 break > and it has been an effort to go from bed to the > recliner. hmmm..going from a reclined position to a reclined position. Are you sure you've given this enough thought ? > I have pleurisy inmy right lung, pnuemonia in left.

Can you just imagine the buzz potential from smoking a joint the size of a cantaloupe ? > I am whining. I am sorry. Guess I needed to AGAIN. Forgive me. THanks > for listening. Nothing to forgive. Nothing to be sorry for. Again, let us know please. Mike mailto:byteme@... ---------------------------------------------------- Reach me by ICQ.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 1998 Report Share Posted September 25, 1998 Very funny Mike. I got a kick out of it, but expecially Lyn's comment about spitting Pepsi across the room....Now that one nearly had me on the floor. Maybe because I've done it so many times myself. People don't want to sit across from me any more. LOL...... By the way .....was that cantalope joints or joint's of cantalopes?

Guest guest Posted September 26, 1998 Report Share Posted September 26, 1998 Lynda, Don't apologizing for telling us how you feel. We are hear to listen and support you. It is very healthful to get all that rage, frustration, and agony voiced, even if only on this list. Many of us have, had, or will have similar troubles. I've got a bad case of Reiters Syndrome in an acute flare-up...this one's been going on for over two years now with very little relief. And I too went to doc this week complaining about nausea, ear pain, ringing in the ears, loss of hearing...and I too have an inner ear infection, though not as acute as yours appears to be. I am sorry about the pneumonia and pleurisy and all of the other insults of pain you are having to endure. I have spent the morning trying to clean our bathroom alternating periods of rest with work. Life is frustrating when you live with chronic pain every minute of every hour of every day. I will be praying for you. Let us know if you have to go to hospital.
