Bad News From A Friend

i got enough of my own friends who are dieing

MS is not the end of the world

theres probably even members here with it

 

I know that MS is very likely hereditary, as I know 2 ppl in one family that it took, and 3 ppl in another family (same result).

Hopefully, there will be a "cure" or some type of help found for those with MS in our life-time.

I'll surely be sending positive vibes (and prayers) their way.

 

Thank you everyone for all your positive vibes, BBad I understand as well, I was pretty much in the same boat as you until I found my friend again.

 

I wish the best for your friend! Dont leave her side!

 

Best to you and your friend, your in my prayers.

 

I'm not leaving her side. I was with her all day at the hospital today. Her husband had to work because the mortgage still has to be paid somehow. They did her MRI yesterday, so now she is just waiting on the results.

 

doctors are just guessing at most shit anyways

I have a friend who was told he wouldnt make it past last summer...sure he has cancer..and sure its terminal...but he is still alive today

 

When I was at university, a friend of mine there was diagnosed with MS. Didn't know much about it until then. Not the end of the word, but it's not good.

 

Well her MRI came back normal, now she is waiting on the blood work to come back. It's always fucking something! They have her so fucking doped up she can't even see or think straight, I really don't like that. She said the pain meds don't help her fucking muscle cramps and spasms and they continue to feed them to her. She was like "fuck it, if I have to be stuck in this place I'm gonna be fucked up while I'm here" Lol. The doctor said that her CPK and white blood cell levels are up super high. When she went into the hospital the CPK levels were over 2000 and the normal level is around 200 they said. I was in the room with her last night when she had a really bad spasm in her shoulder and I could see the actual muscle tighten up right before my eyes the size of a softball! Then right after she got one hive right in the area where it happened. I feel so bad because I couldn't do anything to help her except just rub her back and be there for her.

 

Yeah that's the fucked up part, BBad. They are paid all this fucking money to "help" people and all they try to do is play guessing games with peoples lives. They don't stop to think about the amount of stress the person and family is under because of the problems, they just care about their fat ass wallets. I'm not worried that she's going to die I just hate seeing her in so much fucking pain.

 

Find a way to give her joy and laughter...as of yet neither or illegal or taxable and they are superior medicines

 

being a doctor is guessing games...i always tell people its the same with mechanics...all you can do is make an educated guess and run tests to confirm initial suspicions...

doctors are human too..some are better at guessing right...but yeah I agree that some are just in it for the paycheck and dont care..i think my own doc is like that..he gets paid per visit and always makes appointments for stupid shit and then limits me to one complaint per visit

id probably be dead by now if i had to pay like americans do

apologies for earlier posts ..I was in a bad mood and insensitive

 

Hopefully with possibly ruling out the MS they can now come up with a prognosis that helps her.

Best thing you can do is be there and give her the hug when she needs it as she will draw from your strength and get through this.

 

Hope your friend will be OK:grouphug:

 

Ahh, no worries man. Shit happens.

 

I was wondering how your friend is and what they may be doing for her.

 

Well she is still in the hospital. She's waiting on the tests for Lupus, MS, and any cancers to come back. As of right now they said the initial diagnosis is Rhabdomyolosis, which is where your muscles break down and release muscle fibers into the blood stream, when the body releases high amounts of muscle fibers in the system the kidneys can't process it, which causes kidney failure and severe muscle spasms and cramps. This is only a symptom though, the doctor said there is an underlaying problem not known yet.

 

My prayers are with your friend.

 

Thanks

 

Wow. That sounds awful to deal with. Keep us posted.
