SOJGREN'S, SMALL FIBER NEUROPOTHY

Posted by penn @penn, Mar 7 2:45pm

WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE CAR TO GO INTO THE HOSPITAL FOR A PROCEDURE I COULD HARDLY WALK ALL OF A SUDDEN?? MY HUSBAND HAD TO HELP ME????? IT BECAME SO BAD THAT THE NURSES HAD TO HELP ME TO THE BATHROOM, HELPED ME SIT DOWN??? IT WAS VERY BAD! NURSES SUGGEST I NEED TO SEE MY RHEUMATOLOGIST AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, THEY SUGGESTED IT WAS THE SOJGREN'S SYNDROME. WILL SEE DR. IN A FEW DAYS FROM NOW! ANYONE EVER HAD THE SAMY SYMPTOMS??

No I'm not doing well, nothing stopps the pain!
My husband is so good to me and I feel so bad for him. My Dr. Gave me Nortriptyline! Side effects, memory is not good and I can't remember where everything goes!! I'm stopping that medication tomorrow. Didn't do anything anyway. I'm a very social person, this life is getting to me! My pets help!!! We have 2 Bengal cats and looking for a dog, 😁 Hope your feeling better by the time you receive this!

I have so many tests I don't remember.
Caution, Nortriptyline causes memory loss, I took and don't even remember what I feed my cats, it's a list of things. I called my Pharmacist she said that she warns her patients about it but ignored it I guess, I forgot!! It didn't help any way and I'm worse. Have to wait until it gets out of my system!!!

All of my Dr's tell me all of my symptoms sound like Sjogren's.
ANA always comes back elevated along with symptoms, but I am told my ANA isn't high enough.

Suggestions?

I would check it out further. Sometimes we have to do our own investigations. A Neuologist gave me, Nortriptyline, I should have read the side effects first!!! Causes memory loss, severe constipation!!!!!!! Thyroid, I had Thyroidectomy drug should not given!! My Neuologist mest me up! Pain is so from constipation. I learned a good lesson! Look up drug BEFORE TAKING!!!
