Lisa, So sorry to hear how sick you have been.  I have been well myself however my whole family is down with the flu and strep.
Thank you so much for taking the time to send me the information for Dr. Greenberger and Dr. Schwartz.  I did call Dr. Schwartz office to see what I have to do as to get and appointment and am looking forwarward to hearing back from them.  I am going to write a letter to Dr. Greenberger and see what he has to say.  Take care of yourself !!!  I hope you feel better soon.  Thank you Again   Jodi

Thanks so much you all!!    I´m almost back to normal again!   This was my first experience at getting a virus since my masto came out of hiding and it really, really impressed me as to how hard it hit me.   My doctor said she´d never seen such a bad case.  We both suspect that this is due to the fact that my masto makes me immunocompromised and thus allowed it to hit me harder.  

This makes me think twice about vaccinations and now I can see why Dr. Castells and the other doctors encourage us to get the vaccinations.   I know this is a tricky subject for us all for we´ve got a lot of thoughts pros and cons regarding vaccines.   But now that I´ve been through a virus I can see that my body had a much harder time fighting back due to the fact that it´s already busy with the masto!  In having a vaccination, perhaps it won´t keep me 100% free, but if it reduces the intensity of the infection then it keeps my body from being overwhelmed.   Stomatitis is a virus infection that normally take about a week to overcome.   I was out for 3 full weeks and still am dealing with oral pain and now I´ve got a cyst on the inside of my mouth to have to deal with and will likely have to go for a 2nd round of antibiotics.  

So, this has been a real learning lesson for me in many ways and I´m so thankful that I´m on the other side of it now!   Gosh, I wouldn´t wish that kind of pain on my worst enemy!  It was INTENSE!   Hopefully, I´ve built up enough antibodies and will never have it again!!!

Thanks for your well wishes everybody!  It´s really nice to know that you all CARE!!!!

Hugs!

Lisa
