first diagnosed they took 900 cc of blood off around my heart, my white
blood count was extremely high, which in turn had to give me blood to
get the red blood count up. the pain was unbelievable. i don't feel i
have ever been in remission. everytime they tried to take me off the
medicine i'm right back in the hospital. the newest thing happening is i
have lost the half of my eyesight in both eyes. first it was the right
eye and now the left. the eye specialist doesn't know much about this
disease either. he thinks i had a light stroke. i don't think i have.
everything I've read correction everything my wifes read points to the
medicines. with my eyesight the way it is its even difficult to drive or
anything.Ê we are after any info that can help us beat this thing. we
are afraid of whats going to happen next. the doctor told us only 6
percent of stills patients are affected with heart paricartis and blood
count problems. this didn't make us feel better. please if there is
anyone out there that can make a difference please e-mail us.
