RE: Biopsy/Boils

[Guest guest]

Share all you want, . It some how helps when we need to get it out.

I'm so sorry you have all of this going on. You continue to be in my

thoughts and prayers. This dragon never wants to give up. It's there 24/7.

Grr. One would think it would take a rest at some point. Jeez.

As for the boils, have you tried eating raisins? This is a great way to

cleanse the blood which in turn helps heal the boils. Since we have to take

these nasty drugs, I think whatever we can do to help support our systems is

good to do. I also take a herbal liver cleanser too since the liver gets hit

so hard by the drugs. I hope this is helpful to you. Maybe a sits bath would

help the boils too. Just a thought and I am not telling you to do this. It

is ALL a suggestion.(just incase someone thinks I'm telling you to do

this.lol.)

LMAO at you , hehehe...

I need to go back to baking soda baths for my lichen sclerosus so

maybe it will help the boils too. Fingers crossed. As far as

raisins, well, yuck, those little buggers just won't go down my

throat. I've always hated them. Is there another way to get raisins

or those nutrients that seem to be helpful?

I do think I need to be more diligent about adding things into my

diet. I eat a very balanced diet, always have a vegetable for dinner

and eat fruit at night for dessert (I hate sweets, so that is a

chore). Drink vegetable juice for breakfast. Eat a good proportion

of meat and minimize starches and sugars that are not natural. But

I'm sure there are certain things i should add in to help cleanse

better. I'm up for any suggestions - well, not raisins, lol.

Any luck on the doctor search?

Oh, honey, you're telling us all this because you have to get it OUT!!! Poor

baby... I'm so sorry, what a crappy day! It probably doesn't help much, but I

soooo feel for you! I have had (ahem) biopsy sort of that nature, and it was

all I could do to stay on the table. To top it all off, it was an insensitive

jerk of a man who didn't seem to give a hoot that I was in so much pain!

Hoping you feel better soon and you pooch as well. I have been comforting my

St. Bernard, Max, as we just had a storm from hell move through here and the

tree he was cowering under outside got struck by lightening! He is okay, just

scared to death.

Feel better... BTW, how far away is Dallas from Houston? Just curious b/c I

will be in Dallas for a few days in July...

Take care,

Gail

On top of that, I have these boil type things on the inside of my

thighs, near the genital area. She told me it's likely a type of

heat rash that's causing it to be boils. I researched boils and

immunosuppressive medications can cause boils. When I think back,

they didn't start appearing until after I started on treatment for

Stills. Weeeeee, another freaking side effect (albeit, a tolerable

one).

And on top of that! I have an external hemmorhoid. Doesn't hurt,

but since i'm telling you about all my other goings on down there,

might as well tell you all of it.

It's just been one of those days. I didn't get the one job i've

interviewed for that I wanted - but found out why and I realize it's

probably not a company I want to work for. And my mom called and

said they stopped by my apartment and Stein, my dog, had crapped and

threw up everywhere. Which is not normal for him, so he's sick too.

I don't even know why I'm telling all of you all of this. I just

need to talk.

Poor Max Gail! How scary for him to be under that tree! I dunno about

yours, but mine is a spoiled 70lb baby, heheeh.

The doc who did my biopsy there was also a very insensitive jerk of a

man who didn't care that i was in all the pain. I remember the nurse

yelling at him the whole time to stop. It was truly frightening. I'd

never been afraid of needles or doctors until then. Now I freak out

when getting my blood drawn, which is all too often - plus I'm a hard

stick. I hate that jerk.

Dallas is pretty far 4-5 hours from here. ;-( I wish it was

closer 'cause I'd come meet you!

Hey . Keep on writing. I hope both you and your dog feel better soon.

Maybe the heat makes things worse and the humidity.Yuk Hiss Boo. I hope

Stein did not eat any chocolate? It makes them quite ill. Ok Lets us know how

you

do and I hope that skin thing clears. Will the doctor let you use a powder?

Sometimes that can soothe

Dear in Houston,

Sorry that you have to deal with all of this nonsense on top of the Stills.

It's funny when you have Stills you sometimes feel like you can deal with

whatever else is thrown at you, but that's not always the case. Last summer I

had a similar scare where they thought I had endometrial cancer (cancer of the

lining of the uterus). The biopsy for that is no fun either, but finally the

results came back negative.

I hope everything goes as well as possible , please let us know how it goes.

Best wishes,

-beth

Dear

What a day you have had. So sorry to hear of all your complications with

your health and hope the biopsy will be good news. What with not getting

the job you were after and your dog " misbehaving " I bet you cant wait for

tomorrow. One thing we all seem to have in this group is a sense of humour

- where would we be without it.

Hope you are feeling more comfortable today.

Love Joan UK
