Oh my! What a terrible ordeal that was for Jackie with the first biopsy! I appreciate you sharing that with me because if I go into it knowing what could go wrong, as well as how it can go right, the better educated and prepared I am. I am terrified about this and I have a way (It's called perfectionism/OCD-lol) to plan things out in my head first and play out scenarios. I am definitely NOT a 'fly by the seat of my pants' person! lol But I do want to know what other people's experiences were. I know, I should just put it in God's hands and let it just happen, having faith in Him to watch over me...... but I am still a big chicken! lol Thanks again and I will keep praying for Jackie until the day I read that she is HEALED in Jesus name! :) Cheryl

Close Lupus
My daughter is 15 and 4 years ago she was diagnosed with lupus. At first is was just in her skin muscles and joints. It has now progressed to her kidneys and now her lungs and possibly her heart.
Treatments
- Cellcept Considering
- the jury is still out on this one. supposedly it helps but I'm not so sure now that it has spread to her kidneys which this was supposed to be protecting her from
- Prednisone Somewhat Helpful
- This one seems to have helped if for no other reason she went from 80lbs to 140lbs which was a step in the right direction. Unfourtunately this puts her in the "obese" catagory at her school (not happy about that) but she was wasting away before.
Close Other Heart Problems
When I was a teen, I had this premonition that I would die at the age of 45. As it would happen when I turned 45, almost to the day, I developed an enlarged heart. Needless to say I didn't die but my life as a bricklayer did. I went through the gammet of tests to determine the cause and none was found. I did find that other than the fact that my heart nolonger pumped very effecently, I was basically in pretty good health (arteries clear, organs in good shape).
Treatments
- Accupril Working / Worked
- Carvedilol Working / Worked
- Lasix Working / Worked
- Digoxin Working / Worked
