Hi,
I am 40 years old, and I have come to terms with the fact that I might not make it until my 50th birthday (8 years ago I thought that about my 40th birthday).
I have Magic Johnson'd the f*ing sh*t out of this disease but I'm not winning. I let my wife divorce me years ago before we had children. I haven't told anyone in my parents' family including my siblings, but I'm sure a couple of them are suspicious that this is possibly the reality that I have kept to myself.
Now I found out I have to start taking Erythropoietin to combat anemia probably permanently and until I do I just am so tired. I had been Rx'd antibiotics so much that I became allergic to a few of them. Then about 2 years ago my allergies ceased to present; see an allergy is an auto-immune reaction, and for you to have that reaction you have to have an immune system and by that point I no longer had one.
How do you cope? I may have a 205 IQ but I can't seem to answer this question anymore. My ex-wife started contacting me again after 6 years of radio silence; she wants to see me. In fact she is doing well, she even wants me to move in with her so she can take care of me. But instead of feeling happiness I can't think of anything before that has caused me this much sadness. I mean I took care of her in the beginning, we parted amicably. Now it is a complete 180 degrees from the relationship I remember. How do you cope; how do I cope?
 
You live your life the best you can. You join support groups for people like yourself. What is your diagnosis? It’s not lack of immune system. There can be treatments, depending on what it is you are missing. Are you missing IgG, IgA, or IgM?
I’m not trying to be rude, this is something I actually know a lot about.
 
There are Facebook groups you can join, depending on your deficiency. There are groups on Inspire. You don’t mention what you have- what is your deficiency? There are treatments depending on what you’re deficient in.
I would recommend meeting others like yourself. You can learn a lot from others who have the same disorder.
 
My wife starts retuxen infusions in 2 weeks. Hysterectomy last Thursday ovaries and all. Confirmed vasculitis amd small fiber neuropothy. We believe it's what they used to call churgg Strauss. Egpa now. She had Brain legions since 2020 wink. Now has a cane and handicap parking and pain from the time she gets to till she goes to bed if she does. Shes 46.

Had mri's for 20 years due to a prednisone induced adenoma. Chicken. Or the egg I don't care about conspiracies or rabbit holes.

I'm trying to understand what you have going on. Autoimmune? Or immunodeficiency?

I've been steeping myself in potential solutions and info fron the uk, aus and nz. Some of the best doctors I can find. Self pay and some not. It's important because the self pay and concierge guys don't have to bite their tongue.

Tik-t0c had been a good resource. Barbara 0'neiL and others
 
Be your best and most vocal advocate and don't let them ignore you, don't accept waiting on call backs. I'll be right up in the office fuming being just extra enough to not get le called when I have to. The medical industry has changed. We gotta help ourselves as much as we can. It's our lives not a Doordash. I'm way beyond over it and since everybody is too busy burning books and chanting parental rights, we sure aren't addressing Healthcare or patient rights or med shortages or our system of lining pharmco pockets while people still have to use the e.r as a free-clinic perpetuating the problem. Healthcare should be a human right

  1. MorfineOrfan @ MorfineOrfan: @st1ckyf1ng4z and yes , there are already indole alkoloids with tweaked scaffolding ready to take the place of 7/mgm, all with mitragynine as their parent alkoloid. The game of wack a mole starts the minute 7 is officially banned. Its 2013 K2 all over
  2. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: @MorfineOrfan Also, it’s just a matter of time before another alternative pops up on the market anyway….
  3. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: @MorfineOrfan I couldn’t agree more, bro. It’s fucked up. I recognize prices will rise, but it will always be available…. Stock up now while you can at least if you’re preferred read is opiates. As an ex-fentanyl addict I won’t ever touch any of that shit again. I remember when I started to see 7oh pop up, I knew it was going to end like this but I can understand getting rid of 7oh/mgm-15/16. With that being said, they should leave plain leaf alone!
  4. MorfineOrfan @ MorfineOrfan: @st1ckyf1ng4z oh trust, i know that, im helping a pretty big vendor transition, to here and dnm , but prices are going to rise bc of risk. But availability is only part of this whole kratom alks situation. We have a serious problem with society. Last year alcohol killed 178,000 people, last year all other drugs combined killed 69,973 Out of those 38,084 were from opiate/opioids and out of those 0 were killed by 7oh. With these numbers we can see the problem with banning 7oh
  5. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: Hell i remember when getting 25g of aphip was like 200$ or so
  6. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: Dude wants $150 for 5g... I told him nahh doggy cmon.
  7. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: Man im tryin to get this one kat to come off that apvp for 75$
  8. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: Cant wait to get the apvp in

  12. AlHoffman69 @ AlHoffman69: why does tails always act stupid at stupid times
  13. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: @MorfineOrfan @nameofuser11 @RiftChems @moai Just because they’re “banning/scheduling” something, doesn’t mean it’s not gonna be available. If you know where to look, it won’t be a problem.
  14. T @ theweedman: hellooo everyone! hola! salut!
  15. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: Hello yall
  16. AlHoffman69 @ AlHoffman69: back stvthgd

  18. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Happy Monday!
  19. nameofuser11 @ nameofuser11: Set a reasonable limit. Hell fucking make it like buying cold medicine where they swipe your id and you can't get a bunch. But we know this isn't about logic or public safety. It's about money and control.
  20. nameofuser11 @ nameofuser11: AKA are such a bunch of fucking capitalist traitors. The liquor lobby has a lot of money in this as well.
