the man with the golden arm
FOR MY FRIENDS, THE MEMBERS OF PBJUNKIE.COM - You'll never find a finer person than the paintball players that I know... This was posted on Junkie originally.
OK. I feel like sharing this because I'm tired of walking around with the eye patch and having kids come in the store and staring and all that fucking bullshit. Some of you know already, some don't. Since I spend a lot of time typing and it really is hard to do the same, I'm going to give you guys/gals - Supporting Members - the URL to my private BLOG. It's always been there. Look at the bottom of my signature and click on the BLOG text, right after the text, "You only THOUGHT I was crazy".
Synopsis, I have a weirdo disease called MYASTHENIA GRAVIS. In short, Jerry's Kids have Muscular Dystrophy and it zaps the involuntary muscles. Jester the Kid has MG and it hits the voluntary muscles. Details are in the Blog
Read it if you like. Comment or ask questions, if you like. I'd love for some comments in the blog. I've been writing it since Pierce died and never really let anyone know outright. Read the whole damn thing and you'll want to put a bullet in your skull.
Lost my brother at 32 to adnocarcinoma. Where? Everywhere in his body! I held his hand as he died and felt him leave this earth. Lost my son at 19 to some fucking scum sucking drug dealers/addicts that stole one of my most precious things in life. Now, HE GIVES ME A FUCKING DISEASE THAT MIGHT AS WELL BE CANCER, because it is incurable and you do the same thing as cancer to treat it. I don't think I would be putting myself in danger if I said that God was one big asshole! And don't give me any bullshit about it. I'm Catholic and still believe in Christanity. But something just doesn't click. WTF did my kid do to die as he did? OH, he got drunk at Mardi Gras and took some fucks word of "Oh, it's only coke. Try some." Oh, it's only DEATH and they let him lie on the bathroom floor as his lungs filled with fluid... They didn't call 911 because THEY MIGHT GET IN TROUBLE! They let him die and I couldn't do anything...
Now I'm stuck with this crap... BTW, chemo sucks, too...
Anyway, here's the link. Little Lambs Eat Ivy... Or, click the link below my signature. It's raw and uncensored. Just like most of us Junkies. Have fun...
Tell me what you think...

Ok, so I just opened up my little blog to the entire world. Before, there really was no interest in what I was writing. There's probably not much more now. So here's the keyway to find out about my life. I have written some things about all the bad stuff. But there HAS been SOME good.
- Karen and our family. Kids and pets are always good for a laugh!
- My biological family (1 - Sounds so cold... er) Mom & Dad and Matt/Brigitte
- Family 2 - My son John/Allison and daughter Lirette and grandson Taylor
- Family 3 - The Woodys, Mairi and the Lovill family
- PAINTBALL A - Gunfighter Paintball in toto

This is the place where I give you so much information. Its also a way to allow me to spit out all of the crazy crap that builds up in my head.
Today, we're going to go into detail concerning IMURON; I'm taking Imuron, or by its generic name - Azathioprene. And here's what old Wiki has to say.

Imuran and the sun...
While taking Imuran you may be more likely to develop some types of cancers such as skin cancer. Some people also become sensitive to sunlight which can cause skin discolouration or a rash. Take care to avoid too much sun, cover up and use sunscreen.
Like all medicines, Imuran can cause effects, although not everybody gets them. The following side effects may happen with this medicine: ( ED NOTE: List is repetetive and confusing: I know - But it is taken as found.)
Stop taking Imuran and see a doctor sraight away, if you notice any of the
following serious side effects, you may need urgent medical treatment:
• allergic reaction, the signs may nclude:
- general tiredness, dizziness, feeling sick (nausea), being sick (vomiting) or diarrhea
- high temperature (fever), shivering chills
- redness of the skin or a skin rash
- pain in the muscles or joints
- changes in the amount and colour of the urine (kidney problems)
- dizziness, confusion, feeling light headed or weak, caused by low blood pressure

• inflammation of the pancreas, which may cause you severe upper stomach pain, with feeling sick (nausea) and being sick (vomiting)
• liver problems, which may cause pale stools, dark urine, itchiness and yellowing of your skin and eyes.
-Rare (affects less than 1 in 1,000 people)

• problems with your bowel leading to diarrhea, abdominal pain,constipation, feeling sick (nausea) and
being sick (vomiting)

• various types of cancers including blood, lymph and skin cancers
• sensitivity to sunlight which can cause skin discolouration or a rash.
-Very rare (affects less than 1 in 10,000 people. The following side effects

THE PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF LEMONY FRESH
"Immediate or Short-term Side-effects"
Side-effects are uncommon, but include nausea, fatigue, hair loss, and rash. Because azathioprine suppresses the bone marrow, patients will be more susceptible to infection. Caution should be exercised when it is used in conjunction with purine analogues such as allopurinol. The enzyme thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) deactivates 6-mercaptopurine. Genetic polymorphisms of TPMT can lead to excessive drug toxicity, thus assay of serum TPMT may be useful to prevent this complication.[1] Despite being 15 times more expensive[2], Mycophenolate mofetil is increasingly being used in place of azathioprine in organ transplantation, as it is associated with less bone marrow suppression, fewer opportunistic infections, and a lower incidence of acute rejection.[3] However azathioprine certainly still has a major role.
"Long Term Side Effects"
It is listed as a human carcinogen in the 11th Report on Carcinogens of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, although they note that the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) considered some of the animal studies to be inconclusive because of limitations in the study design and inadequate reporting.[4] The risks involved seem to be related both to the duration and to the dosage used. People that have previously been treated with an alkylating agent may have an excessive risk of cancers if treated with azathioprine. Epidemiological studies have provided "sufficient" evidence of Azathioprine carcinogenicity in humans,[5] although the methodology of past studies and the possible underlying mechanisms are questioned.[6] The various diseases requiring transplantation, and thus azathioprine, may in themselves increase the risks of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, squamous cell carcinomas of the skin, hepatobiliary carcinomas and mesenchymal tumours to which azathioprine may add additional risks. Those receiving azathioprine for rheumatoid arthritis may have a lesser risk than those following transplantation.

Basic comments from the man in the pillory - Any simple idiot can see that this shit is some big time dangerous stuff. It's almost as dangerous as me banging on a keyboard. Bottom line is that this barely heard of disease is not stopping to scratch an itch and not giving me a break. I have a decison to make. grow a pair and take the chances that I have to take and put my life in the hands of the only medical professional I have ever trusted as I jump on the skateboard of life and head for the jump. I just hate throwing up...
