Guest guest Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 How did they treat that? Or does it eventually pass? - Re: [ ] Re: possible hypoglycemia condition Glad to hear that (it sounds like) you did it right. And I apologize if I sounded like I was lecturing. But you can't imagine how many people try to post here that don't have the faintest idea what we're about and have never read Walford or our files (which are jam packed with information and have the " best " of our posts). Good luck and hopefully it's not serious. Some might remember my posts a few months back about a relative who was doing everything right and yet became very sick. The upshot of a long and arduous medical work-up was that he had been bitten by a tic sometime in the past, contracted Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (without realizing it) and while his body fought it off, he developed an auto-immune response. He is now well, but the process of finding out what his problem was took months and months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 His problem was no longer RMSF which had long since come and gone. His problem became vasculitis (an auto immune response in which his body was attacking his blood vessels (IIRC). It’s treated with steroids.
