I am so very sorry. I haven't been around lately and had no idea Phil was not doing well until Nancy (Shupe) messaged me last week. Please know you and Phil's family will be in my prayers.
Kim, that's awful! I, too, am hoping for the best for you.
My saga continues - lancing and draining, and then swelling again. My husband actually did the lancing the last time (no worries, he's a...
Yep, agreeing with all the others - get someone (hubby!) to clean it. I really think that mold in our house after an ice dam on the roof (leaked down behind the fireplace and under the master bedroom...
Wishing you the very best, Carrie!
Very sad - my prayers and condolences for her friends and family.
I live in a smallish town (40,000) and have learned of two other Weggies in the past month (both recently diagnosed.)
Welcome and glad you found us. Sorry you had such a rough time!!
My husband is a fellow Canadian, born in Tofino. :biggrin1:
I've had a few stomach issues, but it has been due to large...
Having just experienced (still...) my first flare, I am wishing you a quick return to normal!
I lost most of my hair during induction, but I was on ctx, not mtx. I think all of them can cause some loss.
I get cramps like that in my hands, but it happens when I am on high doses of...
Hope everything goes smoothly for you!
Welcome, Shannon!
I currently have four teenagers (and a 6 and 8 year old) with no twins, so I know the crazy!
Good to hear that you are keeping things under control health wise - I'm hoping...
The report you linked was fascinating, Marta. It will be very interesting to follow this research. Thanks very much for sharing!
I ended up going in to see my local ENT yesterday as all the swelling came back plus some. He lanced and drained everything again, but he put a little plastic drain in at the lacrimal duct spot. It...
Well, the relief was short-lived. My eye looks and feels worse than before this morning. I'm not quite sure what to do at this point...
Portland is a 9 1/2 hour roundtrip drive. And it was lucky...
Saw Dr. Ng, who is an orbital specialist at Casey Eye Institute. He was a bit abrupt in his "bedside" manner, but thorough. He actually lanced the lacrimal sac and drained out all the fluid, took...
I didn't need a referral for Cleveland Clinic but I did need one to see Dr. Koening at the U of U. I would call and see what their procedure is.
I did have the test before starting aza and that came back fine, but my GI system would not tolerate the med. Within 30-45 minutes of taking it, I had severe vomiting and diarrhea that lasted about...
Yay - my sweet mom is going to come with me. Thank goodness for moms!
Thanks Don! Just got a call that they had a cancellation tomorrow - I'm just hoping I can make the four hour drive to Portland!!
The scleritis in my right eye was improving after my rtx infusions in December, but the last week or so, my lacrimal duct has been blocked and a bit painful. I woke up yesterday and the whole right...
Just a couple of thoughts from my own experience and recent visits with Dr. Koening at the U of U. I had rtx infusions in April of 2011 and did well with them and achieved what my docs called...
Welcome, though sorry you had to find us all this way. There is a wealth of information here and many wonderful people.
Thanks drz and Don - back to the topic at hand.
Dr. Rosenbaum was very quick to follow up with all my other docs. I saw him on a Wednesday afternoon and had an appointment with my local internist...
beeinformed - I'm sorry you decided to take offense at my post. I cannot control your reactions or your assigning intentions to my post that I never intended. I wasn't even thinking about religion...
