After 5 months of a series of problems, I have been dianogsed with severe Eosinophilic Gastroenteritist by a second consultation at UC San Diego chief of dept.
Eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders are not well understood despite their increased recognition. Finding answers can be difficult. The severe cases have diarrhea with malabsorption. The patient's bone can stop growing, which is very detrimental for anyone who depends on fusing bones.
My surgeon, Dr Bridwell was against it however my condition was extremely severe as of a week ago. I started on 40mg of Prednisone and the following day I could taste and eat 2 more bites of food that was moist. A week went by and I was happy with the progress. Then, I was to reduce my dosis to 30mg and immediately my taste buds left and food in my mouth became a mass of dough that was again not going down.
I am so worried as not eating, losing weight, and being weak has left me spending a lot of time in bed thus my back muscles also suffered a lot.
Nothing much I can do but go with the flow. The Gastro Doctor said I couldn't have the luxury of having a great back if the body is not viable. After I get over the back, the front (GI system), likely I will have to check into a state mental hospital for a scheduled breakdown. (just joking)
