Rogue, I understand what you’re talking about when you said you have to change your lifestyle and start looking at things differently!! Was given a 15% chance of living over 15 years ago. After going through 3 years of everything they could throw at me including chemotherapy for the last year I found out they misdiagnosed me. Had to change a lot of things I loved doing including drinking and being in sun and heat. Figured out a way around the last 2 but 5 years ago got my 2nd and 3rd rare disease. Back to no sun or heat since.
Everything has been ok health wise for the past 5 years until the last month. My favorite hobby is and has always been fishing. Sauger fishing season started last month and have been doing a lot of it. Last week I went 3 days in a row with my Chemo treatment being on the 2nd day. Felt good afterwards so went back the 3rd day. Around 4am the next morning my disease flared up and I had both arms feel like I was being hit with a ball bat and hot metal in my joints! It was absolute misery and pain. It quit the next morning as quickly as it started. I figured I just pushed myself too hard especially after taking the chemo on the 2nd day.
Felt good this Tuesday after taking my other treatment on Monday and my friend asked if I wanted to go yesterday. I said sure but I’m not gonna go back on chemo Thursday for obvious reasons. Around 4am today the same thing happened to both arms only it was about 5 times worse. I couldn’t even breathe without complete pain and agony that dropped me to the floor crying and screaming. Of course both of my specialists are out of the office until next week so I’m still dealing with the agony. Another therapist in the rheumatologist office called back around 4pm and called me in steroids for the next week.
Now I have to make the hard decision of actually quitting fishing. It’s something I never thought I’d ever have to do but if it’s going to cause this much pain and agony I don’t think I have any other choice. Going to meet with both specialists next week to discuss this and if no guarantees then I’ll have no choice but to quit.
All I’m trying to convey is that just because you have medical issues doesn’t mean your life is over. You might lose a few things you really love and enjoy but there’s always other things to replace them. So do what you have to do to have a good healthy life even if it means you have to make sacrifices. Quality of life isn’t a given but you never consider anything else but enjoying it any way you can. If there’s ever anything I can ever do to help don’t ever hesitate to ask. If I can do it then I know damn well you can too. Stay strong mentally and live your life as best as possible.

You really should use some spacing, dude. Maybe you die, maybe you don’t. But no one wants to read that ****.

I have PCT (shadow jumpers), palindromic rheumatism, CIPD and a skin disease that dermatologist around the country have never seen. They thought it was the flesh eating disease at first but testing ruled it out. Also have Bell’s palsy and several other problems because of the side effects from all the medications and treatments over the years.


Wynn, kinda hard to think about spacing after taking chemo, steroids, synthroid and plaquenil while both arms are useless and in pain today without any sleep. But yeah, I’m eventually gonna die. It’ll be a break from my body attacking itself since I have autoimmune diseases and only get about 3 hours sleep on average when this all started.

Sorry you're having to deal with all that. Do you take steroids (corticosteroids, not anabolic steroids for those who may be reading) all the time or intermittently? What dose? And what chemo drugs are you on?

@btodd0224 lord brother, that’s right my man. You make my situation look like a day at kings island. Yours is every day, mine was a rough 3 days that’s “over” now. Keep going brother.

-Mom rolls in today, always good stuff.

-Finally scheduled my marijuana doctor re-eval for tomorrow. That way I can buy again. You can have a card but not be able to buy until you see the doc again but as long as you have the card you can possess weed.

I have probably 2+ oz but I’ve been smoking on the same flavor forever and I want some other stuff and gummies and pens if I’m not drinking for…..

-Took the dog to Ft Desoto yesterday. They have a dog beach where everyone is off leash. Twas awesome besides the overbearing, omg our dogs are playing tough crowd.

It was in the 60s and raining off and on and people were in the water…😶. Wisconsin must be cold as hell.

-Chilly here today at 56.

On a 3 point swing it’s both, but I bet it goes back up just before kick to 4.5 as Clemson money comes in late.

Skip this doc and go see a common sense doc. If you truly had a heart attack, and you are now picking back up the weed, then your head needs examined.
