sennashi_doreiAs a Post-Op, I'm still convinced the answer is absolutely yes. I've dealt with kidney stones, gall bladders stones, pnuemonia, and that's just in addition to the pain over recent years. I remember hearing one time, "if you're immuno-compromised, you will know." And based on that, I definitely know. I've never been told it by a doctor though! and doesn't that mean something? I mean if you have someone overweight for example, maybe you would go through effort not to point it out, or I have definitely heard the complaint that it is the first place that doctors might look, saying it is something within patient control, which I'm not completely convinced is always the case BTW.
Well, anyway, I decided to ask the internet about my question, and I got from Yahoo:
I also found this NIH article:
Major surgery and the immune system: from pathophysiology to treatment
I started reading it, but it is a very long read, and also mostly just going into various ideas that don't directly say one way or the other, more so, it's got a bunch of big science words which makes it difficult to digest, and I'm guessing, will not definitively say one way or the other in the end.
If I read the entire article, I'll maybe post something in my overall review in a reply to this post.
In the end, I suspect that it depends on factors that also look like: "At what age did the person receive heart surgery?" Because I'm just going along with the choir for a second to say that maybe children heal better than adults, and I will continue in that, and sort of hope also that young adults will still heal better/faster than an older person who has the surgery.
Am I a hypochondriac? How healthy is being a hypochondriac as an HS recipient?
One final note. My health has as a whole been better in October than some other months in recent memories: so how sad is it that I'm actually pretty sure that I'm sick right now? Damn, I'm literally sick with something, and healthier feeling than usual. I think I either have a UTI or kidney stones. There are symptoms similar to when I had kidney stones, but generally speaking, it's not that bad, so it really might not be that. I have a doctor visit scheduled for next week, and it doesn't feel like enough of an emergency to warrant the emergency room, given that, especially.
Today, I'm feeling much better than yesterday. Have had on and off symptoms for a while now, but usually the symptoms are very low, and could be a UTI: I took UTI medicine just in case it might help.
Yes, possible kidney stones (to a low degree of symptomality) are way easier to deal with, than a lot of the chest pains that I get.
Well, anyway, I decided to ask the internet about my question, and I got from Yahoo:
Many postoperative complications after cardiac surgery are associated with some degree of immune dysregulation. 1 Although exact mechanisms remain to be defined, gram-negative pneumonia with opportunistic organisms seem to require immune compromise, and problems such as renal failure and thrombocytopenia often may be related to inappropriate immune activation.
