Whenever I have a health setback, most of the times what keeps me going is the thoughts of bouncing back as soon as I can, because I know that the more it lingers, the more time I will spend on the sideline, and also the fear of the constant rampage this illness does to my body.
Constant stress, chronic conditions can take tolls on the body and when they happen repeatedly, there's only so much the body can take.
I've been taking some new medication to prevent this current health episode I just experienced,and they've been working very well, keeping my organs and blood healthier than it was, unfortunately it couldn't prevent me from experiencing the episode where I experience hematuria and lose blood and suddenly become pale and anemic.
This means that this episode has caused setbacks, all the repair that this medication has done, this episode I experienced has undone it all, and after taking this expensive medication for almost two years, all the medications effect has been undone by one huge health setback.
It gives me sleepless nights, because I thought this medication would make me immune to these episodes, unfortunately it hasn't.
I remember joining one group on Reddit it's called IGA NEPHROPATHY, it's about a group of people with a kidney condition where their bodies produce excessive IGA when they fall sick, get a flu, or anything that triggers their immune response.
Apparently these immune response makes their bodies produce excessive IGA which then goes into the kidney and damage the nephrons and causes protein to leak in the urine.
So apparently a flu, or anything that triggers immune response, also makes my blood to take an abnormal bad shape and breaks down, causing excessive hemolysis which then release blood from the kidney into the urine.
I have tried as much as possible to wash my hands always, stay away from thing that might give me flu, cause malaria or a fever, but then after all my efforts, I caught a flu on the 11th of August, which triggered immune response and broke down my blood system, and till now, I haven't recovered: pale, anemic and lost weight.
It's a proof of how hard you can be health conscious and still your body literally does whatever it wants. Although health consciousness is great and preventive healthcare measures are important,but sometimes it's basically useless for people whose conditions are autoimmune, chronic or genetic.
There are people that the COVID vaccines have destroyed their organs as well, sometimes autoimmune response can be deadly. This is why you should thank God for being perfectly healthy.
The healthy ones may not really understand that great gift. I was told that if my son takes his routine drugs for two years without any episode , then he will be free, especially following all health instructions. I have been doing that diligently but along the line, the episodes keep reoccurring , and each time it happens, we go back to square one , counting afresh till another two years...till date, we are still battling with this even though I do things rightly but we still get wrong result along the line
I really pray for divine healing upon you Joe .
I saw the video you sent to me, and I was viability worried seeing it. It was sad. For me, I've spent over 800k naira on one medication, so as to be not get my chronic episodes, but I'm back to having them and needing 2 months to recover from just one episode
It's really not funny , trying your best from your end , and still not seeing positive outcome

Thanks a bunch
maybe a mosquito bring you it? they are illnesses vehicles... it's tough since flu are extremely easy to take, can you take something to boost your immune system? like echinacea?
What's echinacea?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echinacea
It's a plant which boost immune system, they sell it as supplement
Oh, I don't think we have it over here
It's sold widely, in caps, I think you can get them on Amazon even there or from a pharmacy
Wishing you strength and healing during this time.
that's true we can do all we know still changes nothing, which is why God protection over us is what keeps us. and I know he will pull you out of these episodes, keep holding up
There are so many factors that influence our lives, our health, and we have LIMITED control over them. We are still oblivious of most of those factors, we only pay attention to the ones we know, while the ones unknown to us can tamper with our health and we wouldn't be able to trace it. Nonetheless, we have to keep doing our best so we don't blame ourselves if something goes wrong. It's like saying God will play his part if we play ours. If we can't control it, we shouldn't worry about it, we should only worry about the ones we can control.
It's good to hear you're recovering. I'm confident you will have a full recovery soon. My thoughts and prayers are with you. You've already won half the battle.
Thank you, appreciate it
Wishing you a quick recovery, it's well with you in Jesus name 🙏
Thank you
I feel this so much… doing everything right yet still facing setbacks is tough. Health really is a gift we shouldn’t take for granted. Speed recovery brother. 🙏
Reading this really puts things into perspective. You’ve shown such strength in how openly you share the struggles of living with a chronic condition. It’s very true that sometimes you can do everything ‘right’ and your body still has its own plans.
I hope your recovery comes quickly and that you continue to find small moments of relief and strength along the way.
Thank you for reminding me not to take good health for granted🥺
Thank you
You’re welcome <3
Hmnnnnn, it is well bro....I wish you quick recovery on this sickness and may God Almighty I'll you IJN🙏

I pray for strength and healing as you go through this. It’s not easy when the body doesn’t cooperate but your openness is powerful so deep. I Hope better days and lasting recovery come your way soon
Perfect health is a blessing, but as we age we become more prone to problems... Short of living in a bubble you are going to get sick every now and again. Hopefully next time won't set you back quite so badly. I'm glad you're recovering, but when you're down for a long time it takes a long time to recover and regain your strength. Hang in there!

I hope you get better soon. Being healthy is such a lucky thing, and I hope that people stay healthy too. Just take a rest, and I am sure that things will be fine soon enough. !PIMP
