I did not want to post this here as to not upset anyone but...it is upsetting me and I know NO ONE irl who gets it.
My next-door neighbor's husband died 2 weeks ago. I finally went over to see her the other day. Her husband, age 50, died of an autoimmune *disorder* they could never quite nail down. He was sick for 7 years, before one of the top hospitals in my state finally decided they *thought* he had Lupus. He was treated with lots of steroids, et al. He was no health nut and was not dilligent about his health. He almost died twice before this time, where his kidneys started to fail, followed by internal bleeding, 2 strokes and some cardiac stuff...he was in a medically induced coma when his family was told there was no coming back form this. We have lived next to them for 3 years. He 'never looked sick'. He was tested for Lyme, which was negative...though apparently several people told him it sounded like Lyme based on his symptoms. Everything progressed faster than it was *supposed* to, then there were the viruses and bacterias...
She told me of his symptoms...of which many are eerily similar to mine.
To say I was freaked out....yeah, you get it.
Now, as I sit here completely freaked out, overly anxious and herxing I am wanting to do everything I can to get this crap out of me. Rifampin, LDN to boost my immune system...I am already doing herbs and supplements...
I hate this.
Sorry to be a downer. I can't even talk to my husband about this and I don't have any friends I can tell less I scare the few there are away...
