I had my follow-up appointment from my hospital stay from last month, recovering from C-Diff. Still on the Vanco taper for another 1 1/2 weeks. I have to submit another stool sample, improving there, but still concerning issues. GI ran lots of labs, etc...
What was concerning now though is that he is taking a look at Lupus as well as sending me to a surgeon for a consult for the right-sided pain. The pain has been going on for over two months, daily. Not sure if maybe it is scar tissue, or what. Also mentioned removing the gallbladder. It seems when one thing is wrong, there is always something more lurking, underlying to be found. The Lupus concern...I can be out in the sun 15- 20 minutes and get an extreme red rash that doesn't go away, joint pain always an issue, etc...
One auto-immune issue generally lead to others/connected to others? Crohns, Diabetes, Thyroid, Compression fractures in my back...life is too short, trudging on even through the storms...
