LYME DISEASE
Glenn lives in Connecticut and LYME disease abounds there. No harm in doing some testing..It can mimic MS if you have been infected for a while. Early treatment, sometimes based only on symptoms, is critical.
I thought I saw Beck on O’Reilly admitting that his eyes were deteriorating, and that his doctors say he could lose his vision in a year?
Is that what Chris Matthews has?
My brother has it and is taking some sort of medication. To look at him, you’d never know he has it. I don’t know if it will get progressively worse over time, but he’s had it now for at least 3 years.
My brother in law has it and is taking some sort of medication. To look at him, you’d never know he has it. I don’t know if it will get progressively worse over time, but he’s had it now for at least 3 years.
Neil has had it for years.
I had a student who the doctors thought might be suffereing from MS, but with further testing found that he had a sever case of lymes.
His treatment took almost a year to get it under control.
My cousin was losing her vision and my brother was losing feeling in his extremities both were diagnosed with MS. I know my brother’s case was harder to diagnosis because no lesions were found. Many other diseases had to be ruled out before MS was named the cause. Whatever the outcome of Glenn’s condition I know he will be a role model and inspiration to many people. GOD BLESS!!!
Doubt if it’s the same sort of tingle!
Or posts like #106.
Remember Micheal (I can’t remember his last name) from the early FR Conspiracy theory days here.
Back from my more gullable days. : )
Not just 106 as I am reading along. LOL
Got some real dozies on this thread.
True.
One has to really advocate to find answers to mystery health issues.
I had Graves for years and knew it was not a mental issue as it was repetitively told to me it was anxiety.
Took ending up in an ER with a heart rate sky rocketing and more in depth blood work to get the proper diagnosis.
The endocrinologist I went to for the cure said it as the worst case he had ever seen in his practice.
In men yeah tumors can grow around the thyroid.
Graves in men (so I have been told) is not as common as it is in women.
I agree.
The symptoms he is having are later stages a diabetic has not first signs.
Lyme is overlooked IMO in many cases.
I saw it too. Glenn says he's been diagnosed with macular dystrophy. He could be blind within a year, but there's no way to know as the outcome is variable.
Good Lord, I hadn’t heard this. Sometimes Glenn really bugs me, but he seems like a good man. Certainly he has done some really good work for the conservative cause. I heard him on O’Reilly a few weeks back disclosing that he has macular dystrophy, an eye disease that could leave him blind within a year. It sounds like something is very wrong with Mr. Beck. Prayers up.
