Update:
Doc tells me my heart is in good condition. It has two small leaks in two valves but not worth even worrying about.
My liver report is good and there is nothing wrong with it which means loads of possible virus need not be tested for.
History:
This started in October 2009 when I woke up one sunday morning with a stabbing pain in my groin. It went away and every so often it would happen again. I did a mountain bike race that day. Oops. After that, I never felt so much pain in my life!!!
The pain stayed in my groin for 3 weeks. It them moved from the right adductor to the left. Then moved from there.
Since then, I've had major joint pains (one at a time) as this inflammation moves around. Sometimes so painful I can't move. Then I stay in bed to recover after getting an injection. Pain is a great motivator to get you over you phobia of needles to inject yourself. On two occasions I had to call my doc friend to come to my place to inject me cause I couldn't get out of bed.
Sometimes, at night lying in bed, it would feel like I was going to completely loose it. My heart would race and body would feel heavy and weak. Felt like I was going to die.
Over the past 10 months this pain has subsided due to medication but it still moves around when it randomly decided to show up again. Most of which always leaving too debilitated to do anything.
Symptoms over the past 10 months:
Pain in the following joints - ankles, knees (only twice. Pain not as bad), groin, hips, lumbar spin (both sides), shoulder joints (both), hand and fingers, and jaw.
Extremely red blood shot eyes. sometimes itchy, sometimes scratchy. Dry. Painful to look around to scan (for example: whilst reading). Inflammation between the eye sockets and the eyeball.
Seriously sore throat 3 times. In the neck and back of throat making it difficult to swallow anything. White sores in the back of the throat that feel like a stone is stuck back there.
Very Dry mouth.
Swollen glands under jaw.
Night sweets while asleep.
Resting heart rate between 85-100b/m (Even after a nights sleep in the morning). This will go above 100 when I walk around. Then it feels like adrenaline gets pumped through my body when it gets too high giving a feeling of quick burst of having a light head and a tingling sensation down both arms to my finger tips.
Lethargic.
Depression.
My hope is in God and I trust Him. Its awesome how God uses even this now for His glory. Its awesome to see and experience.
God never wastes an experience.
Keep the SON in your eyes.
