This morning I had surgery on my leg for basal cell carcinoma. This afternoon I went to an eye doctor appointment to see if the regime of 8 weeks, drops every 2 hours, 6 times a day, had improved the growth of nerves in my eyes. Sadly, my doctor informed me that I was the only patient she had that did not have a significant positive result. She is going to contact the representative to see if I can try another 8 weeks of treatment.
Years ago when first diagnosed with serious autoimmune diseases, they were not aware that the first place to be impacted is the brain. Now they know that all the organs have a high degree of autoimmune impairment. When my pulmonologist could not find the reason for my breathing issues, he referred me to a neurologist. The amount of brain impairment he found lead me to create a written DNR. Unfortunately, when I went into Complete Heart Block, I was implanted with a pacemaker/defibrillator against my written directive. Since then, they are finally starting to make strides into finding cures.However, in the meantime my body continues its relentless attack. Since my initial diagnosis, impairment to brain, eyes, heart, lungs, vascular system, spine and joint deterioration, kidneys, neuropathy, autonomic and central nervous system, and more, my body is killing itself from the inside out. Hospital visits have triggered PTSD. The thing that is sometimes the most difficult part, is trying to explain, despite my outward appearance, I am very physically challenged. Most people do not notice any disability by looking at me. Since I rarely leave my home, when I do leave for a doctor appointment, I see the outing as something very special to prepare for. I paint my nails, fix my hair, apply makeup and dress with the greatest of care. I am trying to put my best foot forward because that is the only thing I have control of.
To the thousands of people who struggle each and everyday with the exhaustion, pain, heart disease, vasculitis, eyes, ears and mouth problems, neuropathy along with balance issues, breathing issues and more, I want you to know, I see you, I feel you and I support you, each and everyday.
I made my YouTube channel under Mary Dacey. The Autoimmune Conundrum and Chronic Illness, What you Need To Know. They were created because I saw everyone looking for answers and as an empath, I wanted to help everyone.
To the unseen, unheard autoimmune warriors, I commend you each and everyday.
