have been trying at times to see if i could get away with not, but that always was a decision much regretted, periodically though testing my psychological dependence that too was very difficult, i would end up rolling and chain-smoking ciggies. the next time i do though will be crazy, hopefully by next monday there wont be much of a need to use it for anti-inflammation or, to treat nausea which hasnt been a problem besides a few times while accompanying pain. at least not daily or hourly as it has been.
it can get to me for many reasons, how i will probably never know what was going on to cause the abdominal symptoms like being filled with green gas/nasty feeling stinging goose bumps/copper smelling sweat/stage 1 hyper tension and etc and so on for 3 years 24/7. besides all those 30-40 lymph nodes being clogged up with "artifacts w/ no halo or comet tail". i never went in to be
re-referred to the surgeon like i was to in early July.
although, i strongly feel though that if i had gone in, it would not of been good, because my body needed to flush the crap out at its own pace, and learn to cope and re-adapt rather then suddenly being how it should be again. the thought of them having to remove only what was scanned, 30-40 nodes, is bad, the radiologists told the tech to go ahead and stop scanning with an MRI because, that was enough for me to go in and have the procedure done. it seems likely that most of my lymph nodes through out my body were the same.
if anyone ever were to ask me if i thought they should do the same, there is no doubt i would tell them to have the procedure, i just have felt and still feel a strong urge telling me to not go, that most of this was avoidable in the first place due to a couple of meds, which were, once again, Humira and Remicaide. i still have to go in to be checked for tumors(stage 4/5) every two years routinely since having them removed twice from different locations. the FDA now warns that 30 months after Remicaide patients were being diagnosed with bladder cancer, i had them removed at a stage under this from mine 28 months later.
but i am confident that will be okay too now.
SOoO kept my head above the water though that
i am very much indebted to that tough lil' cookie.
