to me over the last 3 weeks. The neurologists & rheumatolists both believe (as of yesterday - it could change) that I suffered an a-typical case of Guillane Barre Syndrome, combined with an ongoing case of Polymyalgia Rheumtica & Giant Cell Arteritis. There is still an indication of Rheumatoid Arthritis.
So the game plan is very high doses of Prednizone, physical therapy, and a very fine eye on the Arteritis because of eye damage that could happen. I will continue using the walker & quad cane as needed. I'm to take it slow & care for my body as it's been battered (according to rheumatologist). The a-typical GBS answers the question of the on-going neuro paralysis on my right side.
This all happened very quickly - my sed rate soared from normal to 177 in the course of 2 weeks - I was hit hard.
In the meantime, I will be on here & answer when & if my strength. allows. I cannot type too well & my mind is in a bit slow; a bit confused.
I'm coping as best I can - my body changed so quickly over the course of a little over a month. I feel the blues some days, the fears of what is to come & what might not heal. I do my best to move forward & use the new tools needed in my life today.
Thank you for all of your prayers - they are needed & greatly appreciated.
