Question: I have been on cortico steroids for over 35 years. As a child had
hayfever and allergies.but no asthma. In 1986 was dx w adult onset severe chronic steroids dependant asthma. I have been hospitalized well over 60 times. I also contracted MRSA... Now after all these drugs, I have necrosic hips and upper thigh bones. Trhey want me to start RECLAST. After reading some of the "reviews" i am scared. On top of that, last week I picked up some bug which acted like the flu i.e. Fever, tachy,
bronchitis, etc. I also had
laryngitis and a new symptom. My Dr. Thought it was a UTI and gave me a script for Cipro 250 mg. after I was done taking the drug, every time I voided there was blood. Saw a Gyn doc and she said the results of my clean catch was "worrisome" and she wanted me to see a
urologist because she said vaginally looks good. She is concerned about possible polyps in the bladder which would require surgical removal immediately. Since my husband got a job out here in Pittsburgh, we were in Iowa over 35 years, our lives have changed. Was only here for 2 months when I fell and broke several bones in my ankle/leg. This fall required a "reduction" and surgery. I was placed on
Warfarin and Lovinox inj. I was transferred to a Re-Hab Nursinga home for
2 1/2 months. Long story short, somehow I started clotting every where and bleeding out. I was life-flighted to UPMC Presby Shadyside trauma. My
hemoglobin was 4.9, i had 8 transfusions in less than 3 days. I had developed a Rectus Sheath
Hematoma the size of a basketball in my abdomen. I had an artery blow up in my abdomen and I was in really bad shape. This all happened while I was at the ManorCare. I got out, 11/22/12. I am overwhelmed by all this, but now I may have bladder issues. It is extremely painful, not much itching, just very painful when I go. It is very cloudy and has "stuff" floating in it. I guess there are several questions wrapped up in this query. Reclast? What do you think? I am sick and tired of being sick and tired! No one understands how you can clot and bleed out at the same time, But I was doing it! (And still alive) ...Thank you for listening and one more ? Does avastin cause dizziness? That is the only change that is new and I wasn't dizzy before I started the generic Lipitor 10 mg.
Sincerely,
XXXXXXX
