Lynn, another update to fever

Hi Lynn :-)

Sorry it has taken me so long to post another update. I did see the dr the other day. He put me on another round of antibiotics, put more sterile strips on the incision & told me to come back on the 9th of Feb. Still running a fever. My new pcm called Friday afternoon. She has been reviewing my records, x-rays, etc from this past year. She noticed that I have granulomas that are in one or both of my lungs that noone else has mentioned to me before. This could be related to the cysts I keep getting because there is a disease called sarcoidosis that causes this. Anyway, she has referred me to a pulmonologist at UNC Chapel Hill concerning this since I have to go there anyway to see the GI Surgeon. This disease also could be what is causing my upper right abdominal pain, fever, & several other issues that are going on. She told me to research it on the internet. Sure enough, everything that has happened over the last several years is all fitting together now like a puzzle when it comes to it possibly being this disease. Anyway, hopefully will know more on the 21st of Feb when I see the specialist.

HUGS,
Tara S.

Hi Tara,


Wow, that's interesting about the sarcoidosis.
