I had nearly forgotten about my LJ, because things are moving at mind-bending speeds lately.  First things first!  Earlier this fall I had a continual 9 week migraine.  I was wearing a blindfold and keeping myself in the dark whenever possible.  I wore sunglasses and a hat to work so I could just keep myself from doubling over in agony.  I had an ( Read more... )

Well, I've certainly missed out on a bit of updating since life has been trucking right along. So here's evertying you missed while I was away!

First things first. I'm feeling FANTASTIC!!!  My abdominal pain is WAY better (dare I say non-existent?). I have been living a quasi-normal life lately, which is remarkably refreshing!  And thus begins the ( Read more... )

Alright, so after the last two abismal health posts, I have yet more awesome failures to report.   On the Friday after my acupuncture and trigger point injection, I started to have this weird vibrating feeling in my left heel.  It didn't hurt, but it was pulsating.  It was odd and frequent enough that it actually kept me awake that first night.  It ( Read more... )

I saw Dr. Miller yesterday to discuss the Neurontin and Robaxin trial period.  He was quite apologetic that I reacted badly to the Neurontin, and asked what else he could do for me.  He agreed to order an abdominal CT (FINALLY!!!) with and without oral and iv contrast, which I completed directly after my appointment yesterday morning.  I had never ( Read more... )

I fired Dr. Yoo last night.  I was told that he wouldn't approve a CT scan, because he didn't feel my health conditions warranted the exposure to radiation.  He also had his nurse relay the message that since I refused to take the Cymbalta to rule out what I felt was a bogus diagnosis, he wouldn't agree to the test.  I made it very clear that I was ( Read more... )

As promised in my last post, here is my current list!  It's not in any particular order.  I'm sure it will change several times over the years, but as for now it'll do. :)
