On Aug 12, 2013 I had my Picc line put in place. I am doing 100mg doxy daily.
Since having my picc i have been experiencing pain in my arm, armpit, chest, and neck. The pain was so bad in my chest that I went to the ER. This is all so very new to me and i am so fearful of doing something wrong and causing an infection.
They found a blood clot in my arm right above where the picc was inserted. A specialist came and said that the clot wasn't very big and that they wanted to try and keep the picc in place because i needed treatment so badly. I also didn't want to go through having another one put in the other arm. It was pretty painful the first time.
So far I have done six days of iv infusions and the pain in my arm is still there. My chest pain comes and goes.. totally random..... doesn't matter if i'm resting, bending over, or breathing... it just hurts! I can feel new symptoms coming on which might be herxing.
(ill make a post about herxing later on) Maybe this means the treatment is working.
In all honesty i feel like CRAP! But in order to get better you gotta get worse, right?
Keep an eye out for my next post on herxing. Its the reaction you get while going through treatmet.
LOVE AND HEALING LIGHT!
