Doctor Hopping ??

Yes, hopping; not shopping!  This is surely what it feels I have been doing for the last four months!  The old saying "If it isn't one thing, it's another" is sure ringing true in my life, right now. 

Had my appointment with my Neuro yesterday.  We went over some blood work he did last time (remember, he is the Vampire)! While there, it was  at first confirmed that my wrists and forearm pain is a definitive case of carpal tunnel.  (Well ya know what, this stuff HURTS)!!! So, I am going to try some soft wrist braces for a bit, as I do not want any surgeries.  Then... he showed me some labs and tests.  I did test positive for RA and Lupus, but there was also a concern with a nerve test (no, not a conduction study) this was part of the Evoked Potentials that showed NO signal of the peripheral nerves on the the right side! Okay, so that means?  Well... a trip to another specialist!  
I also, had x-rays of my hips done to rule out any deterioration. 


I was sure hoping doctor hopping could be like window shopping.  Alas, (sigh) that is not so as there is a far space between those two! 


Have a great one!  And... do something for YOU today!

So Far So Good

So far I am doing well with my Lentin promise! And... very proud of myself.  I have found me active thinking ... (yep, that is a good thing); before saying anything regarding how I feel as a result of AI.  But, I am also finding that by doing so it is actually giving my mind other things to think of (whereas I thought the opposite would be true)! Big smiley face! 
I will, however, have to "spread the word" today, as it is again, Appointment Day... this time though, it is a 45 minute extended appointment to lay it all out on the line with this provider, as I do not feel he is active, proactive, or much involved in MY case.  (Simply put, I am not your run-of-the-mill runny nose and cough kinda gal).  So... I am certain God will understand my "why" today. 


I do want to give a shout-out to all my supporters ... 
My Cafemom'ers... who I could NOT live without!
My P2P'ers... who are wonderful! 
And.. as always my Husband, Dan and my family.... 
I love you all!

Today is Appointment Day

Today is my appointment day with the Neuro and it is about time!

I have not seen her in (wow) six months, and have plenty we need to discuss!

Like how my body has become an electrical force field,

How my legs hurt so bad I now sleep separate from my hubby (NOT good),

How my PCP doc has decided he really didn't like anyone who advocated for their own healthcare and how, to me, he is not really a doctor then. 

The list is endless, the ailments are as well, YET through it all I have managed two surgeries in three weeks, two months off work, and then going back full swing... 

TODAY... I am fatigued, TODAY... I am resting until time to go... TODAY will be different as TODAY I again will advocate for ME.
