.....RE: Complications?

[Guest guest]

Hi ,……thank

you so much for your input, and suggestions. J I

am feeling much better today/night, and I probably won’t see my Dr. until

maybe next week. I have to depend on my hubby to get there, and this week is

pretty busy for him at work. He would take off if it was an emergency, but

because I’m not as congested now, I am thinking I had a virus, and it is

working its way out. See what I mean about not knowing when to see a Dr,

because usually the next day I am better! It gets so darn frustrating

sometimes.

Thanks for the prayers

too!

Hugs, Jackie

Complications?

Jackie, I'm so sorry to hear about your problem. I don't really have

much to offer because I'm so new at this MS stuff, but it certainly sounds like

going to the doctor is a wise choice. It may just be that you need to change

your allergy meds or begin allergy shots. (My niece has severe seasonal

allergies and takes shots for them because the pills stopped working after a

few years) If it is something else, then hopefully it is something that you can

shake off and get through with no worse symptoms. At any rate, best of luck at

your Dr.s appt. and if you feel like it, keep us updated, as I will be thinking

and praying for you tonight.

Hugs,

Complications?

Don’t read if this subject makes you

uncomfortable.

Hi everyone,……when it talks

about someone dying of complications from MS what exactly do they mean by

that? Also, how do you know when you need to go to the hosp? There are so

many ongoing symptoms with me, and they can be really bad one day, and practically

non existent the next. If I went to the hosp every time I had a symptom flare,

I’d be there all the time. But, then again I don’t want to take

something going on with me and ignore it if it can lead to a complication.

For example, I have been having congestion

in my lungs off and on for a few years. I just figured it was allergy related,

but lately I’ve been taking allergy meds, and it doesn’t seem to be

helping. So I’m not sure if it is allergy related now? I have some problem

with the muscles on the right side of my diaphragm, and the Dr. said it

doesn’t move the same as the left. She thought there was some paralysis

set in. I am having a hard time taking a deep breath, and when I do it hurts. I

am assuming it is pneumonia, and will be calling the Dr. in the morning. In the

meantime I thought I’d ask those of you who have progressive symptoms if

you have experienced breathing problems? I am assuming this might be a

complication of MS?

I don’t mean to scare anyone, and I

want all of you to know I have been dealing with MS for 25 years now, and

I’ve only been hospitalzed 2x’s I think. So please don’t

worry that what I have going on will happen to you. Remember we all are

different, and some of us will progress, and others won’t. In my case my

progression has been slow, but now that I am older I was wondering if I might

not be able to fight off infections as well, and will need to be hospitalized?

What do you all think?

Hugs, Jackie

I'm so relieved you are feeling better. Whew! I was worried about you. I know there are times when I think I am going to have to break down and see a doctor and then the next day I'm okay (or at least better). It's hard to know when to actually go because things come and go so quickly sometimes..... SharonJackie Hanan wrote: Hi ,……thank you so much for your input, and suggestions.
