but, I've tried that before,,,,,,,lots of times ,,,,and it never works. Drs appt was today,,,,bad news,,,,,,,,,,,,BUT,,,,,,,,,it could be worse......I guess,,,,She did blood work 2 weeks ago and sent some of it off,,,,while the WBC looks adequate,,7.2 (normal low is 4.8),,,when you break it down,,,it doesn't look all that good,,,,the immunoglobulin is not good,,,,,,that shows just how many antibodies that I have to fight infection,,,,,dangerously low...........the neutrophils are a 1.1,,,(normal low is 2.2),,,dangerously low,,,,,that explains why I still have this infection in my neck. She said if it gets below 1 that she will put me in the hospital and give me IV antibiotics. She also said that normally she would prescribe IvIg treatments but,,,,I previously had some 3 years ago and I didn't fair well with them,,,one series gave me hepatitis and the other gave me meningitis,,,,so we can't go that route,,,,she also said she could give me some chemo,,,,RIUTUXIN,,,,,(I have read up on this drug,,,,,,,,lots of dangerous side effects),,,,,,hmmmmmmm,,,not sure about this. She said I could whind up with a bad infection anyway,,,,,(possibly fatal),,,,,hmmmmmm,,,,,Platelets are 53,,,,,,(normal low is130),,,, lymph % is 80.4,,,,,(normal high is 20.5),,,,,,,,one good thing??????? I am not anemic,,,,,,,she said there doesn't seem to be anything she can do for me at this point,,,,She also asked if I would like to get a second opinion? hmmmmmmm Since I have had this infection in my neck since March, and haven't shed it yet,,,I asked what would happen if I got the flu and she said,,,,it could really be bad,,,,,,,,hmmmmmmm again,,,,,,,,,,She said I have several tumors,,,,but nothing significant at this time,,,,,,Well ain't life grand,,,,,thinking possibly of just letting things take it's course,,,,,,,,getting a little tired of fighting this infection,,,,,,,,,and feeling bad all the time,,,,,,,,,but then I think of my grandchildren,,,,,,,,,how much I love them,,,,,,,,,Hannah has started kindergarten and I won't be seeing her as much,,,she gave me a reason to get out of bed,,,many a day,,,,,,,,and then little Jacob,,,,turning 9 in a few days,,,,soon to be lost,,,,,,and will need to be saved,,,,(would love to be present to see this),,,,and then precious Matthew,,,,,,,our precious one,,,,,,,his smile alone,,,makes my day,,,,,,,and then there is Tiffany and Jonathan,,,,would love to see what they will "bring" to the grandchildren department.......right now they have adorable "Jax",,,a Yorkshire terrier,,,sometimes I get to puppy sit,,(ha ha)....Love my children to the max,,,,,,,but something about being a grandparent,,,,,,,,,there is nothing like it,,,,,,,,,these are my "grand" olde days!!!!! ♥
I have had a problem with warts on my arms,,,,100's of them,,,,,Dr Jones said my immune system won't acknowledge them,,,and we have to treat them,,,,,so afraid they will get on my face,,,,,,,,,,and we all know witches have warts on their face,,,,,,ugh,,,,,,,,,,,,
Forgot to tell her I was itching,,,,will call her tomorrow and tell her.
