Auto Immune Disease is a Killer TMI

  It never fails when I have to do something my stomach goes south. My work required me to help out with the student showcase. Around 3:30pm work took all the faculty and staff out for dinner at P.F. Changs. Just so you know P.F. Chang is really good about working with people who have Celiac Disease. I wasn't doing to bad until after dinner.  At 5:00pm, we had to set up the reception, red carpet, and merchandise table. 6:30pm the showcase started, but I ended up helping finish setting up the reception room. If I would have known that I wouldn't have worn my high heel boots. There were only two other people besides me who were helping set-up the reception. I was jealous of the rest of the faculty and staff who were able to sit in comfortable recliners having fun watching the students' films while I and two other staff members finished setting up the reception hall.   Due to my severity of Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy and my back condition, I am unable to drive much.

Chronic Ear Infections

Image
May of 2017 I had a really bad ear infection. I have had sinus infections all the time, but never ear problems. After a variety of antiobotics and ear drops it seemed to go away. Two months later I got another one. My ENT doctor put me back on some more antiobotics and ear drops. It went away again after a month of fighting it again. Then in August it came back again. This time it caused a couple of holes in my ear drum. My ENT said I need surgery. He told me he is going to repair the ear drum and put in a tube. I had to wait 2 1/2 weeks for surgery.  In the meantime he stuck some purple stuff in my ear. This caused my ear to be completely plugged.  Four days before my surgery I got into some gluten causing me to vomit. I was stupid and desided to do a paid taste testing thinking I could get away with it. I was completely wrong. The $30 I made was not worth it. Everytime I throw up it made me get really dizzy. The dizziness caused me to vomit some more. I ended up going to ER becau
