igm
So I've been diagnosed with igm about 2 months ago. I'm 23&live in Oregon. I did a few biopsies , mammogram, MRI, what felt like a million blood tests and a week stay in the hospital including surgery to cut some tissue which took 2 months to heal. After diagnoses I tried antibiotics, prednisone, and now methatrexate/folic acid. I receive some pain medicine but after a doctor in bend made a comment about me having higb tolerance for pain i got took off and never gave pain meds again, :( i know yal know how painful it is. Its only gotten worst. I just want to know , what's next if anything ? I know cutting my breast off won't help bcuz it comes back in the tissue anyways . helllp . hopeless here ....
Hello,
I have had this disease for more than 5 years now, so unfortunately I don't think there is a magic cure for it. For some people it doesn't last that long. Since I got this disease, there have been times when I was a lot better, even *close* to normal, and then times when I have relapsed and been very ill. The things that have helped me the most are steps I have taken to create healthy lifestyle habits - sleeping a lot, moderate, but not excessive, exercise, reducing stress, and healthy eating. I try to eat a lot of vegetables. I have also had luck with removing certain foods from my diet. After removing gluten, dairy, and corn products from my diet, I have found that they all cause my disease to flare up when I reintroduce them. I have done the Whole 30 Diet several times, and it has helped me to find the foods that I have problems with. I would highly recommend trying it. Unfortunately, if your disease doesn't go away on it's own, this might just be the way your life is now. That is something I have struggled with, but at the same time it has been helpful to be able to accept it and stop waiting for it to change. No matter how long you have this disease, making healthy lifestyle changes will be good for you so my best advice would be to try that.
