In light of recent evidence, doscovered when I requested my entire lifes worth of records, I am unfortunately inclined to believe I have cancer of some sort.
Past diagnosis' & Findings:
-Hyperreflexia, Hoffman sign positive
- Babinski sign positive
- Linear T2 lesion on brain MRI, no details on specific location but appears to be base of the skull from looking at the image, from what I gather
-18mm high signal (T2) bone lytic lesion in spinal column
-Vertebral degeneration
-Uncal Osteophyte, also in spinal column, separate mass from first point
- Painless lymphadenopathy / Swollen lymph nodes for years (on and off, consistently now)
- Drenching night sweats, for last year and intermittently since 2012
- Severe weight loss, inability to gain weight... Lost 45 to 50 pounds in the last 16 to 20 months, despite eating huge amounts every day, during the night, and eating healthy at that
- Right atrial enlargement in 2017, now progressed to Biatrial enlargement
- Heart Arrythmia, noted over many ECG but never said exactly what it is
- Sky high WBC counts for years, over many many sets of blood work. Out of all the blood work done, MAYBE 2 are within normal limits. The rest are all very high and I've never been told
-Chronically low Platalet count
-Protein in urine, Albumin, twice, same with Ketones both fasting and while not fasting
- Rheumatoid Factor consistently over 10 but under 14 but negative ANA
- Asthma
- 20 to 30 seasonal and perennial allergies
-Plantar Hyperkeratosis
-Reynauds Syndrome secondary to systemic condition
-Osteoporosis
-Osteoarthritis
- Migraines, neck stiffness
- Gastrochisis (Under 1 year old)
Some interesting things:
- Doctors have seen my multitude of skin rashes but never acknowledged them in any reports I've seen
-Tradol made me feel pretty much 100% better when I went to ER recently... My lymph nodes even shrunk immediately after they gave me that via IV. Next night it was a steep decline back to feeling terrible, I believe as the drug left my system. As I specifically requested against narcotics, and Tradol is an anti-inflammatory, it is fascinating to me that I miraculously got better. And do in a similar way when I take Naproxen.
- Movement triggers muscle spasticity sometimes others it is random and as noted in my medical files, has caused at least 3 incidents of leg paralysis where I couldn't walk anymore because my legs seized up and stopped working. I only remember one instance so this demonstrates my next point...
- Severe memory loss / gaps
- Bleeding abnormalities, watery to extremely thick, deep cuts that dont bleed and instead just ooze out
- Plantar hyperkeratosis gets worse after treatment
- Missing baby toenails since birth
... And more
I will be officially using this thread to track my disease, whatever diagnosis'os made, and whatever treatments. Any insight appreciated
Thanks,
Mike
