Hello everyone,first time post.

[Guest guest]

Well, let me introduce myself. I am Larry, 44yoa, and being rode hard

and put away wet too many times. Between serving Uncle Sugar, SEMPER

FI' and my local municipality being sworn to serve and protect. I

have a number of things that have come up and bit me now.for the past

thirteen years I had suffered from rhuematiod arthritis, I also have

Felty's Syndrome, which is a rare form of RA that affects the

spleen,liver,and lymphnodes, breaking down the white blood

cells,nuetrophils/platelettes. Osteoporsis,Avscularnecrosis, Acid

Reflux disease/Barrett's syndrome, Rhuematiod Lung Disease. And

that's it for now, I'll know in two weeks if this Hematologist is

correct in thinking I may have LGL/Large Granulacyte Leukemia, just

what I need, even if it has an 85% survival rate up to and beyong 10

years. I'll play the odds he's wrong, cause it and the FFelty's are

so close to each but enough of that. I know some basics, such as ,

other, that it that a special blood test to figure which is which.

But enough of that, I know the basics,ester-c, glucosemine-

chondrotin,oscal-D. My biggest problem is getting my immune system to

work and function properly again. I'm all ears'figuratively' and a

good student.I thank you now for you

help,concern,thoughts,prayers,light.Oh and did I mention that I am

write this from my hospital bed as I had to come back in after a

staph infection complication from a knee replacement surgery over

labor day. I went in the 25th of Nov. in ten days then to a nursing

facility for IV therapy where, I came down with a temperature, and

further infection, presently dealing with MRSA. and a fun time was

had by all. NOT. thank heavens for this laptop.

 

Blessed Be All and special love and huggs to all the four-legged

kids out there, I know I sure miss mine right now.
