@5-alpha-victim I have 3 tumours on my liver which in my opinion are as a result of long term destructive PFS. Not many on here get a lot of in depth testing outside of hormonal profiles because Drs shut the door at the earliest opportunity. I expect there are a few more with undetected damage. Many have gum and wider soft tissue loss. AI diseases generally have different levels of severity so will display more than others. I always find your posts and theories of great interest and consider everything.
Anyway to the reason for this post. I’ve had an absolute explosion in symptoms these last few days. Night sweats and gum inflammation. extreme anxiety and suicidal ideation. Was driving around yesterday looking for somewhere to end this suffering. All other symptoms were on a high too I just couldn’t take anymore but fear of the end “as usual” stops me. I retreated to bed to try to wait the worst of it out. I retraced my steps then realised it was because of the dermal filler I had three days ago. I had a smaller amount two weeks ago when I had a lesser reaction. This says to me that this is AI more than ever. As said earlier I’m not on any AI drugs which is possibly why I’m at the mercy of such severe symptoms. The drug I was on previously must have kept them at bay to a degree It’s worth noting the initial PFS crash is like the onset of an IA disease, as in the reaction from the immune system, things settle to a degree and then flare up via triggers if left untreated. There are quite a few on here who already have IA problems or family members with such a disease. My night sweats had all but subsided these last few years via food elimination i would only get a mild one from chicken, then this! The bed has been soaked three conseq nights. Again as said before we don’t get any ears so immune suppressors haven’t been tried. These would not cure the condition but I believe t would dampen down the activity sufficiently enough to bring forward a marked improvement. There have been two reported cases of guys getting better from prednisolone type drugs for unrelated problems these are often standard as first line treatments to bring down AI flare ups. The AI route would make for an interesting exploration . Additionally not many get colds or flu and for the few that do they often get a reprieve. “Not in every case I know”
