Praying for you. I wish you could turn to a natural doc for maybe you are deficient in some things that could help. Regular docs don’t even bother to check vitamin d levels. You probably need D as well as magnesium. We all do, especially when we are ill. But those natural docs don’t take insurance and charge beaucoup bucks. :(
You are such a great freeper. This just is not fair.
Don’t forget that after and even during the antibiotics, you will need probiotics to counteract them and strengthen your immune system as well as help you digest your nutrients.
Even quality yogurt will help. Get full fat unsweetened, and add a dash of honey or maple syrup.
I hope you are feeling better today and you follow up with your doctor. I do not mean to be negative but your symptoms do point to heart. Esp the swelling. I just worry. I know I am not a doctor but I am hoping you are okay.
I’m glad you are OK. You had me worried there buddy.
have your doctor check your heart ...(could be pericardial effusion (fluid around the heart), congestive heart failure, or cardiomyopathy).
a Cardiologist would be best, but a good GP or general internist can start checking the tests.
It also could be electrolyte problems or a kidney problem.
the next step is a repeat Chest X Ray, a cardiac ultrasound, a blood test (for anemia, thyroid, and a chemistry panel) and an EKG.
Big sigh of relief here.God bless and keep you FRiend.
My 4 little ones will keep you in their nightly prayers.
My husband swelled up like this and doctors found he had nephritis. Prayers sent for you.
I am so glad to hear that you are back and getting better!
Will keep you and Mrs 2nd in prayer and thank God for his providential care.
God bless you and yours!
Get on water pills immediately if you are not already.Keep your feet up.
Prayers!
Absolutely praying for you, pal.
