Mike's Story
"I was advised today that I have symptoms of
PR. I have been struggling with this problem since Jan 3, 2005, it
Began during a trip to the hospital with double pneumonia for intravenous
antibiotics.
The intravenous antibiotic (zosyn with piperacillin) leaked outside of my vein
and under my skin causing a golf ball
Sized medicine blister, this was allowed to disperse under my skin and saturated
the tissues underneath.
Three days later I went into something similar to the uncontrollable movements
as depicted in the movie Exorcist.
Your pictures look all so familiar.
I read the volunteers bio’s and see hospital visits prevailed in the onset of
PR. Example pregnacies!!!!
I was curious if anyone else had IV infiltration prior to the beginning of their
living nightmare.
I couldn’t work 7 months after my trip to the hospital so I had plenty of time
to research, I am totally amazed
The number of Rheumatologists and web research I have not came across this
website. I was prescribed a low dose of prednisone and plaqueril (used to offset
the side effects of the prednisone) I also take 375mg of Naproxen as a daily
deterrent.
I am attaching a few pictures I have taken in
the last 2 ½ years. Just a few pics, I have plenty it’s sad to say. I will
try to get in your forum I have some questions for people suffering as I.
May God bless you for starting this website, this gives me hope I haven’t had in
a long time.
Thanks Mike".
