Sorry it's been so long since my last post. I was sick of feeling the way I was all the time-sore throats, fevers, bone pain, fatigue-and my doctor was so great about listening. He decided to run some tests to see if anything else came up besides Neutropenia. (To his credit, he does believe the symptoms I have each day are related to neutropenia).
I was tested for Rheumatology issues, cancers, CMV, lupus, etc. Luckily, all came back negative. I am still dealing with the symptoms-fever, bone pain, fatigue, sore throats. I am still trying to figure out how to balance work, kids, home, friends, etc without putting my body through more than it needs. I know when I overdue it, my symptoms worsen.
A couple weeks ago, I thought I would eat vegan-cutting out meat and dairy. I actually feel a little better eating this way. Perhaps cutting out the pesticides/hormones/steroids that can be in this food is helping my body feel better. I still have symptoms-but they do not occur as often.
I'll keep trying to figure out how to live as fully as I can :)
Good night,
Kat
