Hello everyone.
First post. I have suffered with p since childhood and was prescribed methatrexate which kept my p under control for quite a few years. However about 5 years ago after complaining to various derms that I was feeling ill and run down I came off it. about the same time I came down with a massive internal infection which took four years and lots of surgery to control. during which time ive had a lot of light therapy and this has been a good help.
After my final surgery I returned to work the following Monday with vigour, I was laughing with my workmates happy that my surgery was over and done with when suddenly I started to get pain in my upper chest and throat. I turned to my mate and said, eh new pain today chum, in my chest and just laughed it off and saw the day out.
I got home and the pain was still there so we went to A&E to get checked out. Yes a heart attack, I was whisked off to the operating theatre where a stent was fitted and discharged a couple of days later. Question is :- My derm is aware of the situation and wants to put me on Fumaderm, Im concerned because the surgery I had has left me slightly incontinent and thats when my stomach is operating normally. Secondly is anyone aware of any adverse effects on the heart or stents. Im 59 by the way and have kept my sense of humour.
