August, I'm so glad you responded. Everything you just wrote about, I have experienced in some form or another.
Let me start with the sinuses -- the most difficult issue to deal with lasting 3 years straight. For a while, I was having a stuffy nose, but when I became extremely ill, my sinuses just shut. I had a septoplasty surgery a few months prior to correct a deviated septum, but the tissue was so weak that it broke again a couple months after. For 3 years, my breathing has been affected since the tissue inside just swells; especially during sleep and resting positions. I have to rest my head in specific positions or else it's impossible to breath through my nose. But, I am happy to say it has gotten much better.
Boy, have I had a court battle like experience trying to get doctors to recognize any problems with the conditions involving the skin and Cyanosis (thank you, I had no medical term for this symptom). I have the same issue with the socks and beds and so forth. Like, I would be eating and pressing a fork into my thumb while picking up the food, and the indent from the fork would mark my thumb for several minutes. It was just weird. Now, I should note that I picked up foods that were making this worse for me, and also medications can make this wide area of my problems flare. Again, 3 years, but it's convalescing.
I think we should talk privately (or openly). I think we have a lot to share about this particular issue. I have a question right now about your comment on "fluid infusion." I've been trying to wrap my head around this forever. You're saying that over hydration of fluid in the skin is what creates this reaction? Also, have you had any issues with numbness, tingling, nerve pain or what seems like sharp pain in the veins?
Thanks for your reply.
