Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / February 2008OP: stepdaughter update
Oy, poor Emily! When we got back from our trip last week, we had a phone message from her. The rounds of testing she's been through were all in. The strain of mono she has is a more virulent one. Also, she has TB, not raging yet, but with some minor symptoms showing up. Also, she tested positive for parvovirus, but they aren't sure if that is active or latent. They've started her on medication for the TB. Her mom, a local pathologist, has been employing her medical contacts to get a rapid referral to an infectious disease guy. No wonder Emily has been feeling so lousy! I sure hope the ID guy can come up with some more effective treatment for her.  SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare Oh, poor Emily. She has a triple whammy there. I'm happy she is finally diagnosed so they can start fixing everything and making her feel better. Ann Nann, surely hope Emily will be able to see an infectious disease doctor quickly and that he/she will be able to help. Gwen > Oy, poor Emily!

SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare Wow, Nann! I'm glad they finally got things sorted out for Emily, but holy cow does she have a lot to deal with. Mono in and of itself can be very difficult to get rid of and leave you totally feeling like a limp rag for months and months. Sorry to hear about the TB. Wonder how she happened to contract that? Prayers that things start turning around for her soon! . . . . Donna . . . . 1.) ANGELS EXIST, but some times, since they don't all have wings, we call them FRIENDS...... 2.) J.K.M.A. Firstly, Emily says thanks for the prayers, they welcome all they can get! Secondly, Emily is currently in a doctorate program at a large university with an international student body. Come to think of it, the schools where she got her Bachelor's and Master's degrees, while smaller, also had definite international student bodies. that alone really kicks up one's exposure risks. they probably will never know for sure where she picked it up or even for how long it has been lurking in her system, but I figure that's the best explanation for her picking it up. She has been really prone to respiratory crud and it has seemed to hit her more frequently over recent years. Perhaps treating all of this will help out in that arena as well.

LOL here are some who find "the thing I am" to be rather confounding. heehee SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare > On Mon, 18 Feb 2008 11:40:29 -0500, shenmei9w...@gmail.com wrote > (in message [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > remove the Gator cheer to email me > Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare Woops! That was a little strange, for sure. I,for one, am finding the "thing" to be very confounding these days! m Prayers and hugs for Emily. SignatureNavy Take out the FISH to email me. > Oy, poor Emily!
