Question: Attention immunigolist-endo dr. Hi, I'm 56 5'9" 128 lbs. I have been going to a psychiatric hospital as an out patient (awesome program) and have gone off of some major drugs in the last 2 months.
Seroquel 200mg to 50mg,
cogentin 200 to 0 dried out my whole body, including skin and mouth, xanax from 2 to 0, off for 22 days (was on for 20 years)
wellbutrin 450 to 300mg,
trileptal (long story but I was over drugged 2 years ago, put on 7 major drugs, by a
psychiatrist and pretty much left me a zomby, could barely talk I stuttered so bad). When I went off of the xanax I got a numb spongy feeling along my left jaw bone, ulcers on corner off mouth-dr said drink more water. I lost about 5lbs, looks like I lost 20, look like a skelaton, my cheeks are even sunken, my skin is so dry looks like tissue paper and I pretty much don't look the same (don't know if its worth it). The first 2 weeks coming off of xanax, I probably ate about 5oo cal. a day and wasn't exercising, which I'm doing now, and eating. I've had a spongy mass on each shoulder, weeks, and tonight i have that spongy feeling from under my arm pit to the top of my breat (whats left of them) I had an extensive blood panel this week absolute lymphocytes was 788 (850-3900 norm) ab. eosinophils 7 (15-500 norm) dr. said
glucose was high, can't find a # (meeting with a nutrionist tomorrow) blood counts were normal tsh 1.53 (.40-4.50). probably mal nutriton. I've gained 2 lbs, but I fell my body is shrinking (seeing a endo. doc hes also into nutriton) tomorrow. I got up this morming with an XXXXXXX XXXXXXX and it was swollen up to my chin. Feels like whole espagus is swollen no specific lumps (smoke last 10 years 1/2 a day stupid) Skin on my torso has small bumbs, looks like a rash. I've just about had enough. I've been telling the drs. including psychiatrist about the sponngy thing for weeks. my nose is weird too, kind of burns when I inhale bone structure changed too. ketones, protein...all negative. I do believe I have compromised my immune system my shoulders are spongy too and I never noticed it before, but a bone off of my collar bone sticks out right side. More! had thrush about Great! get my
depression under control for the 1st time in 2 years and this happens. my neck has been stiff for a while dr. physical therapist said it was the meds. had a mamogram 3 months ago and a pap 1 week ago all normal. c4 bulging disc-okay. trying to remain positive any ideas
