Oh my God! I want to just scream from the shock! How could this happen and why

on earth were they so eager to pull the plug?!! Thank God for your daughter

being persistent. Thank you for being honest with me about your experiences.

You know sometimes we try to sugar coat things which does NOT do anyone any

good. Your experiences teach the rest of us what to look out for and it also

lets me know things can always be worse than what I have experience so far!!

I am so shocked after reading your message until I cannot find the words to say

to you what I want. I wish the best for you from here on out. . I am so sorry

about all of the things that happened to you. We have no choice but to trust

the doctors and the meds and yet we take the risk of something like this

happening. You are definitely meant to be here and survive this. You proved

that much.

It sounds like you are very sensitive to the meds as I am and that the meds are

causing major complications for you. The mtx made it very difficult for me to

breath and when I told my rheumatolgist she didn't seem to bother with it and I

didn't know about the nodules Mtx can cause on the lungs and apparently so much

more.

Love and peace,

Ebony.

Oh my Terry, what a terrible time you have had, reading your mail brought on

Terry,

This is horrifying. It's bad enough to have suffered such serious

problems, but to be used that way is incomprehensible.

Thank God your daughter was there for you. I hope you can recover from

all of this without serious permanent damage.

All my life, I've heard, " If ignorance is bliss, then I'm a BIG blister " .

That has to be true this time. I was hospitalized for Metho-induced

Pneumonia, but only stayed 4 days. The only thing I suffered was the high

fever. I never coughed or anything to indicate a lung disorder, and felt

relatively great the next norning. I had no idea it could have been that

serious! In retrospect, it could have been worse if I had waited for a few

hours more before hitting the ER. My temp was already high enough to make my

brain start to shut down. I remember playing a video game on my gown at one

point that night. Next day, I was feeling really good. I guess it was a good

thing my experience wasn't as bad as yours, Terry. Now I get nervous

thinking about your terrible experience. I'm glad your daughter wouldn't

give up! That's the only thing that saved your life, certainly not the

doctoring you got/didn't get. Sounds like lawyer time. We don't want that

type of treatment to continue.

Blessings on all of us,

Dennis
