Well we just got back from the new Rheumatologist. He doesn't think I have Polymalgia because I'm not responding to the Prednisone. He thinks that because I had bladder surgery 4 yrs ago and the dr. used a foreign matter called Durastat and injected it around my urethra that now my body is having a allergic reaction of sorts, to it…..and because I’ve had gastic bypass my auto ammune system isn’t working up to par to fight this reaction off….like normal people could…..anyway…..he took a 7 vials of blood…..and 10 xrays of my body parts………and did a temporal ultrasound (that showed that temple artery to be ok and not be Giant Cell Arteritis) and I go back and see him next week. And he’ll tell me more of what he thinks this problem is. IF this is all right…..that means I’ll have to go back to my urologist who did the surgery and have him undo it and do it differently……UGH!!!!!!!!!!
On one hand I'm releived that I won't have to be on Prednisone and get a moon shaped face with all else that goes with steriod use......but I'm dreading thinking I might need bladder surgery and what that could do to my IC!
Do these health problems EVER stop??? ever get better???
Ok I'm just majorly depressed now
Thanks for listening........Roxie
