Guest guest Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 , I wanted to use your point here as a reference as to how important it is to tell our doctors about our symptoms even if they don't appear to us to be related. Because so many are on very serious medications, it is, as Cat stated in her email today, very important to tell our doctors of symptoms and problems we are having so that hopefully we don't get sicker or are better treated in doing so. This disease is complicated and serious. I know it is frightening at the best of times, especially when newly diagnosed and a person does not know what to expect so turns easily in any direction for guidance and answers. You just don't know what may be important and if you're being silly about something that would normally be minor such as a simple rash or the sort. I feel that way sometimes even after 31 years. Can you believe that? But all symptoms are important! So, I want to say thank you for reminding us along with Cat, to talk to our doctors about our symptoms. From : Also, another side note... the eye drops I'm taking to lower the pressure in my eyes are affecting my heart rate and causing palpitations. While at first they were thinking Stills and fluid around the heart again, it's simply a side effect. I just mentioned it to them saying 'Ironically, the heart issues started when...' and my doctor looked up the drops' side effects. I guess it helps to even mention suspicions at times, doesn't it? ____________________________________________________________ Click here to compare prices and features on point of sale systems. http://thirdpartyoffers.netzero.net/TGL2241/fc/Ioyw6i4s0e6yvoX6uSUmehoSW3RBw9puv\ S1ibd4PcdkCzEjgTKrO3s/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
