Re: Question for Lea re. MGUS and H-pylori

[Guest guest]

Good Morning Kate:

Thank you for writing to me. The doctors took years to find out what was causing my severe health problems. They were testing me for everything, the only thing that was showing was a positive for lupus. Then finally, I was referred to an infectious disease specialist, he is famous here for doing all the right blood work.

He did the SPEP and UPEP and found that I was positive for MGUS, he also found that I had MVP. This is when I was put on massive doses of antibiotics and Decadron a steroid. I do have neuropathy, but it seems to be getting better. I'm so glad that you will be seeing a rheumatologist because he will test you for most all of these diseases. Did you have silicone or saline?

Honey, please make a list of some of your concerns, this will help him so much. My doctors love it when I take control of my own health, I tell them what tests that I should have. It takes time to get to know your doctor and it can be stressful. Are you having any respiratory problems? I was so short of breath, and eventually I did develope asthma/chronic bronchitis, but for some reason the blood thinners have helped my respiratory problems!! My pulmonary specialist has said that my breathing is at only 40%, this is a bit frightening, but I must be positive. Stress is deadly for me, so stay away from toxic people.

Take care and stay in touch..love you...Lea
