Re: heart pain & short update on my health (from Kacey)

[Guest guest]

Hi Fiona,

Yeah, 21...not a great time to become disabled...but then again,

what age would it be convenient. As far as how I'm doing now, I was

explanted in Sept. 2003, and immidiately afterwards I saw

improvement in my pain. However, I've been trying to detox my body,

blood, intestines, organs...everything, and have since seemingly

dealt with more pain. Currently I can't physically write, and

typing is often too difficult as well. I know I'm suppose to get

worse as toxins and everything are " dying off " , but it's still hard

to deal with all of the pain. I am working with my Osteopathic

specialist (Dr. Gonino of Rowlett, TX) to try to detox and also

to come up with pain meds that actually alleviate pain. Tylenol

doesn't cut it, and I've found that 3 Darvocets (like Vicadin)/day

along with a Celebrex and 2mg of Prednisone don't quite do it for me

either. Hopefully tomorrow when I go in for my Hydrogen Peroxide

IV, the doctor will prescribe some stronger pain meds.

But despite all of my pain, I am extremely hopeful. I know that I

am in good hands. Oh, when I refer to pain, it's located in my all

joints/bones/muscles. The burning in my breasts and ribs have

subsided a lot after explant...and heart problems/shortness of

breath seem to be more under control as well (I'm also on oxygen for

an hour a day).

I know I sound like a complete mess, but I truly am a happy person

most of the time. I know I will be better eventually, and I'm

trying to enjoy my time back at home with my parents and 7 siblings

as much as possible (nope, can't take care of myself yet either).

And I'm also happier than I've ever been, as I have just recently

started dating the most wondeful man I've ever met. I couldn't ask

for anyone more supportive, caring, or who could love me better

So I know that this " distraction " really helps me bear all of my

pain.

Thanks for asking about me and best wishes in your search for the

right care and doctors,

Kacey
