make 11 posts. Pain-Free & Fed - incomplete

In 2011 I followed my gynecologist's recommendation and received a Lupron injection as an alternative to a hysterectomy for nearly life long problems with PCOS & Menorrhagia causing chronic anemia.

Within 90 minutes of that injection I had a "charley horse" in my uterus that consumed 80-100+% of my attention for every minute of every day until surgery corrected in August 2016.

Lupron triggered a reaction that affected every system of my body including: (incomplete)
  1. Cardiovascular / Circulatory system
    1. heart pain, arythemias, high blood pressure, & high pulse
  2. Digestive system / Excretory system
    1. liver: docs at the time thought it was unconfirmed autoimmune hepatitis. (Lupron is now listed as causing "drug induced liver trauma")
    2. GI problems still yet to be determined (endoscopes will be going up one end and down the other soon. Gluten allergy confirmed via blood)
  3. Endocrine system
    1. pancreas: type 1 & type 2 diabetes
  4. Integumentary / Exocrine system
    1. vitiligo (pigment)
    2. rash (capillary overgrowth)
  5. Lymphatic / Immune system
    1. lymph nodes enlarged (had biopsy to determine not cancer)
  6. Muscular / Skeletal system
    1. lost 7mm jaw bone (adds validity to several years of all-over bone pain requiring assistance to even to go the bathroom)
  7. Nervous system
    1. cognitive problems
  8. Renal / Urinary system

  9. Reproductive system
    1. enlarged inflammed uterus
  10. Respiratory system

  11. Sensory system
    1. not able to detect asthma attacks


2017 I am starting Pain-Free and Fed!

Now I need to figure out what else is wrong with me... and figure out what to do next.

Referals enroute:
scope up one end and down the other
special dietian
internist
allergist
