My Story Of My Health There is no easy way for me to tell my story. Yet, I hope that you will know the message I am trying to convey, when I am done.. Something serious has changed my life, and I think that alot of others should be aware that this could happen to them also.. So this is why I am making this page, to tell you of how I feel about it.. I guess that I will start right here, and I hope you will see my heart.. Because everything that I say comes from there.. I'm not here for pitty but here to try to help. I have Tuberculosis of the spine - which is called Potts. Fibromyalgia, Sugar Diabetes, Colonitis and a few other things. I've been to many doctors concerning my health, Not one has found this other thing that has been happening to me. I've been to the best of Hospital Care. I'm sure that many of you will know of Mayo Clinic. I've been going there since May of 2004. Every three months I have to go and be tested. For, you see something is eating up my spine. It's not something that I'm making up. Tests don't lie, or so I've been told. This is what I want to talk to you about. Please, this is not easy for me to say. I just found out that by taking "Tylenol" for so many years. It has done something to my liver.. Yes, most would say, well you should have stopped taking it, but you see.. One just can't stop taking a drug that they have taken since 1985 till now..And I knew nothing at the time of what it could do to me....Yes, Tylenol is a DRUG!!! There is another side to this also, and that is all of my doctors told me it was ok.. They knew I took it four times a day for the pain that I have.. Yet, not one of the Doctors told me that anything could happen by taking it over such a long period. At the time when I started taking Tylenol, it didn't state that if you took it that it could do liver damage. Only that you should ask your Doctor if taken over a two week period... Well, I'm here to say they are wrong, and I'm living proof that they are wrong.. You see, I'm allergic to so many different medicines, and this was all that I could take.. Yet, with them knowing what it could do to me, they never told, or advised me, to stop with it. They just told me to keep taking it.. Well, they are the Doctors here, not me, and I believed them.. I think that alot more of us should ask alot more questions than I did.. For now I am paying for it. I was told that the "Tylenol" is killer if not taken right. I now have a specialist who is doing more testing on me to try to help me.. Yet, what has already happened can't be changed now. I truly feel in my heart that both the company of Tylenol and the Doctors should tell us more.. There are alot of side effects to the medicines that we all take, and are not told about it. This is where we need to step in and ask as much as we can about the side affects to med's that we are going to be taken. I would have not known of the effects if there was one doctor who had told me.. I have been to many of them in the past years, and not one till this Doctor told me of this.. So I guess what I'm trying to tell you is to ask your doctor if there is anything wrong with being given 'Any Drugs' for a long period of time, and if they will, or could, hurt you in any way... I will be doing alot more about this, and I hope that I will be able to bring alot more information to you.. I don't want to see anyone else go through this. I don't expect sympathy from anyone reading this.. I'm just trying to help you see it can happen to you too.. My moods have changed alot, making it much harder for me to do things, and even thinking is hard. The pain, the not knowing, forgetting things, and "Yes my life as well"... My whole life will be different for me from now on.. Yet it's my love of life, together with the power of "God" that He gives me, that keeps me going. And with the love of my husband and friends who are around me.. Sharing the pain, and the times of not knowing where I'm at. Yet they are still here for me. Yes, this is one of the side effects. One of many... So when you are thinking about things that you should or shouldn't ask your Doctor, make sure you ask them alot of questions.. Don't stop till you feel that you are comfortable with what they have to say to you, and you feel that it is right. If you have any doubts at all, get another Doctor's opinon. In closing for right now I would like to say this. I truly believe in my heart that Drug Company's should put things like this on the front of the bottles.. They do this to warn us that the medicine would be dangerous for our children, so why not for the warning of just how much these drugs can hurt us. This is our lives at stake here, and we have to stand up for what we think is right.. I know that I won't stop on this matter, for I think that it's very serious enough to be looked into. I put my life into their hands, and look at what has happened to me. This too can happen to you. Life is very precious to us all, and if we don't stand up for ourself who will?
