FOLKS BELIEVE IT OR NOT RAMBO IS BACK.
The fact remains that I was diagnosed with a very rare form of Blood Cancer called Myelo fibrosis in 2018 and prescribed a medication Called Jakavi and my health took a nose dive. Not sure if the medication was accelerating the disease .
The normal blood platelet is 135 to 300 for adult men and my platelet count was believe it or not just 21.
This meant hardly any clotting factor and I could bleed to death. Symptoms of the disease was chronic fatigue and chronic pain caused by bone marrow and lowered blood oxygen supply.
It was like me Ukraine fighting Putin who kept changing his attack plans to cause me more grief.
My poor GP tried her level best to pull me out but could not as Russia was too well entrenched.
Suddenly mid April something went wrong my blood became too thin and I almost bled to death at RPAH emergency. The hospital then made it more complex by giving me pneumonia and my condition was so bad that I was prescribed the strongest pain killer OxyCodone twice daily.
A month later I was discharged and sent home with just pain killers.Same Oxycodine twice daily plus sleeping pills.
To day is day 57 and battling most excruciating pain 24/7. I suddenly decided enough is enough I cannot take this shit any more as no one was willing to hear my plea to be Euthanized.
A logical engineer I strongly believe in cause and effect and finding the cause by elimination. In my case there was nothing to eliminate. (No definitely my wife Mithu was not the cause).
The TRUTH was glaring at me "Pain Killer was the Culprit."
Two days ago I took charge went Cold Turkey and stopped the Pain Killer 36 hours later now My pain is Gone and I am singing and dancing in the rain.
It will take me a bit more time to get rid of all the Opiates in my blood stream. My sister Dr Manjula a retd Surgeon and palliative care specialist now tells me yes there are very rare cases where morphine can cause more pain and I had to be that unlucky Jonah but I am BACK and you can expect some forwards from me too

Folks a brief update.
Having survived the 55 day ordeal with Oxycodone and escaped from Alcatraz, I can say I am out of the woods.
All these days every day was a Sunday but today I am aware it is Saturday 18th of June, had a home physiotherapy session and yes I had a three hour long snooze and want to curl up and go back to sleep which is Me.
Been taking pawpaw leaf Homeopathic Tincture to boost platelets. Only on 24th June, I will have blood test results to see where I stand and if I need more platelet transfusion. Back to sleep folks. Thank you all for your prayers. Cheers
