Seventeen Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 And, on another note. Quote A long serving loyal Gashead Jools Pirog needs an operation which the NHS won't fund.Also known by many as Kingswood Polak on the forums, Jools has been an FFS Club member since we started and many of us have met him at our Sponsored Matches. So, if you can spare a little i'm sure it would be appreciated.Here's the link: linkThanks for reading. FTGJools' Story: I cared for my parents and brothers until they died in 2002, 2009,2012 & 2013.was literally ripped apart by the entire process of looking after them & it took a heavy toll. I now have Crohn's disease, a degenerative spine condition but, worst of all, I have an extremely rare vasculitis which is called WEGENERS GRANULOMATOSIS It's disease where the blood and veins are inflamed and this leads to granulomas in the vital organs. I am likely to go blind and deaf & right now my eyes, heart, lungs, ears & kidneys are affected. I am more scared of going blind more than dying. This disease does kill, quickly and without any warning. I suffer pain that I just cannot articulate & the disease also causes Inflammation of the bones & many days I cannot get out of bed or even put my own socks on. There is a treatment called ritixumab but it has been deemed too expensive to treat me with. The protocol in U.K. says I HAVE to go through very toxic chemo 1st and that drug has an high incidence of causing bladder cancers & lymphomas. As it is I have to avoid direct sunlight due to the immunosuppressive drugs I am on already. There is a drug, a biological called RITUXIMAB that has shown to have superb results & has many less side effects yet has shown to be much more successful in putting this awful affliction into a remissibe state. I have tried every manoeuvre but I cannot avoid the toxic chemo drugs. I have been in touch with healthcare in Europe and the USA and they would allow me the drug as long as I can pay for it. I really feel rotten and kind of a beggar in doing this.up but I thought you don't get if you don't ask & at least I can say I'd have tried. 50K is the cost for a years treatment but many times it doesn't take that long. I am so tried of my lungs bleeding, eyes, ears and sinuses failing & the fevers that shut down my kidneys. I ask you to give anything you can but no pressure as life is not easy for many my pituitary gland also empty meaning hormone jabs I know Rovers and City fans have been very good to each other in the past concerning things like this, so thought it was worth a share on here.

YorkshireSection Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Chrons disease is an inflammatory bowel disease that can on rare occasions cause rheumatic, arthritic conditions to many areas including the spine. Obivously not calling Jools a liar but didn't want anyone doubting his illness or story as my Mrs has Ulcerative Colitis the other IBD so I'm very sympathetic to the cause of these horrible digestive diseases that primarily affect the bowel and in unfortunate cases like Jool's his spine. Give, give, give, top lad Jools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
