If congenital, which might make sense considering how my mother said the doctors told her when I was just a baby I wouldn't live past five years outside a bubble, then the question is why didn't the doctors tell her what was wrong and why they believed this. Well, a lot of what they said was wrong. I'm going to be 32 later this year. I grant that I am not the healthiest 32-year-old on the planet, but I'm not in a bubble either!<br /><br />If a mutation caused it, then what led to the mutation? I have had a bad history of H. Pylori and losing my appendix and gall bladder. Suspicion lies with the salmonella-tainted peanut butter. And my health seemed to go downhill around that same time frame in which I was exposed to the potentially tainted peanut butter of 2006-2007. So I'm not all too sure but that that can be pinpointed as the cause of everything. Or at least most things. <br /><br />Fortunately, I am now deathly allergic to peanuts, so no more problems there. <br /><br />I am hoping they still have my appointment scheduled with the immunologist in August and if so, hopefully he can answer a lot of the questions I do have.<br /><br />I am praising God though for seeing me through my first infection since the diagnosis. Caught it early, treated it promptly, one round of antibiotics and it was gone. As it should be if the immune system handles things like it should. <br /><br />I do appreciate your comment though. It means a lot for me.ses1978https://www.blogger.com/profile/08597052057677036003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701430695730402543.post-62517732987327885342010-06-09T01:07:20.635-05:002010-06-09T01:07:20.635-05:00I am sure you must be relieved to finally obtain a...I am sure you must be relieved to finally obtain a diagnosis, but I understand your concern. Did they say if it was genetic?<br /><br />You seem to be very bright. I am sure you can find a COMPETENT medical professional to help you. When I say competent I mean one that will treat you by first explaining treatments and drugs' side effects and then listing alternatives.<br /><br />Good luck and I hope you turn the corner real soon!<br /><br />CarlaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701430695730402543.post-58000791179728457612010-06-09T01:07:20.636-05:002010-06-09T01:07:20.636-05:00I am sure you must be relieved to finally obtain a...I am sure you must be relieved to finally obtain a diagnosis, but I understand your concern.
