The first dosage made me feel horrible. I had to be rushed to the hospital. The Doctor gave me steroid shot and morphine for the pain. Head aches stomach ache. I noticed after the 6th day on Skyrizi. I’m seeing a difference in my skin. I’m taking a lot of vitamins and something called “Inflammacore.” It’s a powder that you mix with water. I hope you feel better. I’ll say a prayer for you to God The Father and The Lord Jesus Christ.
😅 I came across this channel in my feed. My stepmother has Chrones, as well. I hope you are well. Your story was fascinating to learn. Chronic disease can be so frustrating. I have ADHD and Tourette Syndrome that causes severe painful spasms and physical tics. I've never thought of choledoscopes and endoscopies as surgeries before, though I've had both. Additionally, I've had 12 surgeries, i.e., put fully unconscious for the procedure for various ailments. I hope your journey goes well. Keep doing what you do and know you're not alone.
@abrahamhorowitz8374 thank you so much for your feedback. Thank you also for sharing your story. I'm so sorry you have to endure pain. I never knew that Tourette's caused pain, but it makes so much sense. If you'd like to be on the podcast, please let me know as we'd love to have you. I'm on Instagram @chronicallygimperella. Please share this channel with others! Sending you positive vibes, and hopefully tomorrow is a low symptom day for you.
Thank you for sharing your journey with us ❤
My favorite duo❤
