You are one of the bravest women I have ever known in my life.
You have taught me so much.
Thank you for every single thing you've shared, the good, bad,
and just the...fabulous, unforgettable Izzy.
And I am hoping that you'll get that transfusion very very
quickly and be back reporting a surge of energy...

Izzy:
I'm so sorry.
It's so unfair.....
no respite for dear Izzy.
I'm hoping the docs have it wrong.
Again.

Thank you Hops and lighter
-----and on it went, so today I went back to the hospital again. Something had to be done!!! and was again sent home with no answers. There was a nice doctor in Trauma Emergency. Tony.
I was barely home and on my computer when he called. He had an answer for me--Polymyalgic Rheumatica--and would telephone a Rx to Drug Store for me. I now have it and took my first. Will take 7 and report to my regular no Dr. Dr., next Monday.
All the symptoms etc. fit exactly. ♥Tony♥ looked it up and called me right after I left. My first symptoms were in January, 2013
With the first symptoms, headache and eye aches, I went for my eye check. I was okay but Dr. Prescott said to go to my Dr. and be checked for Giant Cell Arteritis. It is an almost equivalent of Polymyalgic Rheumatica, yet the full set of symptoms hadn't erupted quite yet. My Dr. Dr. say I didn't have G.Cell A and sent me home with my tail between my legs. I wonder, if this works out to be PR, if he'll remember? As well "bone marrow failure" cannot be diagnosed without first taking some bone marrow and testing it---Damn! I should have caught that!
So 1 pill down and 6 to go!! The Mayo Clinic has a good write up, if you Google PR.
(All I have to do is tell someone something, and it turns into an exaggeration----in this case, I hope so for the first diagnosis and not for this new possibility.)
Love
Izzy
Thank you Dr. Grossman
I appreciate your kind words and good wishes. I really do!
Izzy
