Mystère
I just got home from a visit with my primary care physician (mon médecin traitant or GP). I took him a copy of the results of my bloodwork the other day. He looked the report over carefully and told me everything looks really good. He also said that whatever is going on with my wrists and the swelling is not what he suspected it was. Maybe it's an allergy, he half-muttered. I had a mysterious allergic reaction to something a few years ago, and I never found out what caused it. So we are back to square one. More later...

Oh, shoot.
ReplyDeleteI think this was good news although it keeps you in limbo. Hopefully you will gradually get over whatever triggered this stuff. I'm hoping to get some photos sent to you soon.
ReplyDeleteMy, oh my, you have been through the ringer, friend. I'm hoping you soon see light at the end of the tunner.
ReplyDeleteGood news is good to have except that it doesn't get to the bottom of the problem.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get some real answers soon.
Oh dear, I was hoping they'd have a definitive answer for you. I wonder if it could be something like carpal tunnel syndrome, just a wild guess. Anyway good news that you are fit in other aspects.
ReplyDeleteI asked the doctor about carpal tunnel. He said it wasn't that. He's putting me on a one-week regime of Prednizone to see if that reduces the swelling around my right wrist. I'll start that on Monday, once I can get back to the pharmacy.
DeleteIs your inflammation an auto-immune manifestation in reaction to something else?
ReplyDeleteSeveral years ago, I had an episode of athlete's foot. Simultaneously, the second toe got terribly blue and inflamed. I connected it to the athlete's foot. The cream took care of the first, but the toe remained deformed. When I showed it to the Dr. she thought there was no connection. The toe was the victim of osteoarthritis. She recommended I see a rheumatologist, who also said there was no connection and really nothing we could do about the toe. Then, the athlete's foot came back and I went to the dermatologist, who, first of all, told me I needed to slather the cream on to the point the skin could no longer absorb it, and secondly, told me there was definitely a connection. The osteoarthritis is an auto-immune reaction to the attack from the fungus. Unfortunately, even when the fungus was taken care of the deformation caused by osteoarthritis is permanent.
