Hi everyone. I forgot I was on this site as I lost track of where I saved it!!! So I'm trying to get back on track and meet everyone!
Hi,
Welcome back! :)
How are you?
Not doing well and I"m thinking maybe it's the high heat here and the mold in my house. And you!

Hi,
Sorry your not doing well. It has been really hot here. I have been fighting a magnitude of physical health issues, but trying to take day by day. Im here to talk or just listen if you like. ((Hugs))
That's not good. Please let us know how your blood work turns out??? I have anemia, low blood pressure, and low sodium which one doctor says will make me feel awful all by themselves. The other night I passed out. I checked my blood pressure and it was 85/45...

I was diagnosed with severe asthma. I have a nebulizer at home, but have been able to cut back on using it. I was doing it 3x a day for weeks, but steriod inhaler has helped bring the inflammation down. I went to the grocery store earlier and couldn’t stop coughing. Stamina is still rough…i try to not use the scooter, but do sometimes cause it’s easier on my body. I tend to get sharp chest pain after walking too much.
My blood pressure also is low like 88/53 area. The blood work showed i had a high immunoglobin count and allergic to alot of pollen stuff. Hopefully can get allergy shots for it that should help some. Im was told the last time i went to the ER for shortness of breath that on my EKG they said my pulse was high (101 resting). A few days it when i took my blood pressure it was 151, but think it was from anxiety more than anything else.
Unfortunately, I have great iron numbers so they have ruled that out as being the problem. Apparently my insurance would only pay for the one-day infusion so it must have been strong enough to see how I would do. Unfortunately, it didn't make any difference. And my fatigue is only getting worse. It doesn't help that I have Fibromyalgia and the Epstein Barr Virus as well. Both cause Fatigue. I take the Prednisone for my skin condition. I was diagnosed by a Dermatologist having Spongeatic Dermatitis. It only gets bad in the summer months and the Prednisone is the only thing that keeps it at bay. The first time before I knew what it was, I was diagnosed 3 times!! as having Scabies!! I finally said to myself, I am being misdiagnosed so the Dermatologist said I did NOT have scabies, did a biopsy, and felt it was the Dermatitis due to the heat and stress. So, that's a bit of my story of fatigue and Prednisone!! I hope you are having a great weekend too!!!
