My last flare up was in Feb.05' until Aug.05..since then I have been in remission and doing great. I'm 24 yrs old, and throughout high school and onto college I have been interrupted from my studies due to flare ups. Since Aug.05' everything has been GREAT, until recently my blood platelet count has started to drop. During my flare up of 05' I experienced this for a lengthy period of time and was hospitalized to get blood and platelet tranfusions. Now that I'm having some of the same patterns in the decreasing levels of my platelets I'm becoming to worry. Once I notice that I'm worrying, I try not to worry so that I don't stress my system even more and do more/quicker damage. I'm really afraid of going through another 'stormy flare up'. In 05' there were numerous of times that I BARELY survived the storm. Now I can't help but to be scared of possibly going through the same stuff((medically & educationally seeing how I'm close to graduating w/my degree finally)) or God-forbid maybe even a rougher 'storm' this time around. I dont know what to think...except to try to remain calm....which is very much easier said than done. |
"MDJunction to me is a life saver... when i first was diagnosed with Scheuermann's Disease i wrote a message to a page i found on google, hoping that they could help me.... you'd never know it but that weird feeling (you know that one where it feels like someone actually cares) came over me when i opened my email next day to find that someone on the other side of the world (at the American Medical Library)had read my message while i was sleeping, and there low and behold was the address to MDJunction.... well it is everything to me, i live it breathe it and love it!!!!! I have found many people who are struggling with similar issues banding together to help each other. It is the best place in the world, and i couldn't think of another place to go to meet so many lovely people....
