scared, part II

Dec 01, 2005 12:31

Basically, the auto immune disease I have is worsening. It's doing fun things like attacking my bones, not just my muscles. I'm afraid it's going to continue progressing and screw up my organs. From the reading I've been doing, the uncontrollable vomiting I've had (that has caused my weight loss) could be the result of the RSD (because it is ( Read more... )

but if you're reading this you can be confident that it would be ok.

You realize this isn't a locked entry?

And eeek, btw. I hope you two are holding up.

Yes, I know it's not locked. I have friends who don't want to be a part of LJ but want to read the posts. I also highly doubt that many random strangers are reading this particular journal.

Oh, and it is so rare that I get more than a few words in reply to anything I post it doesn't really strike me as needing to be locked. If someone asked me to lock it for their comfort of course I would. With 99% of the responses seeeming to be some variation of a hug, well...

sometimes i worry about my immune system finally giving up on me, and stuff, and how any partner i would have at the time would really handle it. given my current romantic situation, it's a valid concern.

i mean the auto-immune problem was before your accident and was exacerbated by it, or did both hit you at the same time? i never knew exactly what was down.

at some point i may make a post about my concerns about me, but it will be friends-locked AND filtered, as i need it to be double-sifted. or i might just put it on eschwa.

i worry about you. think happy thoughts, and when you are sleeping, dream as if there is nothing wrong with you. that's a good thing to do.

It was caused by the accident. It's classified as an auto-immune disease based on the fact that the body is turning on itself, but it's not like lupus. It's more like fibromyalgia or reynaud's syndrome (that's when your blood vessels in your hands shrink when they get cold and your hands turn blue and you're really prone to frostbite in winter. Remember the eschwa user who went by SleeP? I can't remember her name now, but she has it.)

I'll catch you on eschwa, there's some stuff I want to talk to you about. If I don't get you there, I'm moontoady on AIM/YIM.
