Comment on Living with AutoImmune Diseases by Connie.
In 2007 I was rushed to the hospital by our school nurse because my heart was beating way to fast . I was told that they had to stop my heart and restart it and that I had SVT . During the time that I was at the hospital I was told I had Sarcidosis . They found that I had no B12 and I started taking shot every 2 weeks for that . My skin had lesion on it and my Lungs had lesion too. I started loosing the pigments called vitiligo. During that time my leg got to where they would not move without a lot of pain . I was taking medicine for my heart that I was have a bad reaction to . I started passing out. They finely got me off of that . I worked everyday at a public school did not miss school . My passing out happen on the weekend . I to where I could not pick up my feet I was then told I had neuropathy causing pain in my feet and legs. My body hurt all over and I would come home from school and sleep from 3 till bed time and sleep all night get up and be at work by 7oclock the next day for my duty. I took so much prednisone I too have had cataract surgery. After not missing work not one day I lost my job because I could not pick up my feet from the neuropathy . I failed down twice because of rugs. I liked 2 years before I could retire from the state . I was two young to retire . I have had my heart fix with a heart surgery. I then was told that I also had autoimmune disease. After I started staying home I slept all the time and gained 40 pounds. I truly thought for a while I was not going to live. I am now taking vitamin D and it’s been 5 years at staying at home I now feel better. I hope things get better for you. I have also started a low carb diet. Praying that you get better. Connie Dees.
