Cancer Tattoos - woo-hoo.... (gag)

I just received 12 new pin-point size tattoos, to add to the 16 I had applied, and then removed immediately, to line up the goddamn radiation machine! I had the previous 16 removed, as I didn't really want reminders of my lymphoma... but I think I just might keep one or all of these... as reminders of the shit I've had to endure... and there's ( Read more... )

I hope everything goes okay. I recently had to go to the hospital for severe carpalpedal spasms (probably the most painful thing I've ever had to endure....all of your muscles constrict as tight as they possibly can.) They ran some blood tests. Everything came back okay, except for elevated Calcium and Creatinine Serum levels. The thyroid stuff came back okay (I have a long history with anxiety/panic problems), but when both Calcium and Creatinine Serum levels are elevated, it can be a marker for a tumor or renal failure.

Hopefully it was just a fluke and due to being excessively dehydrated, but I'm still fairly worried. The other options are pretty serious, and I have to go into my regular doctor this week for more thorough tests.

I'm not religious, but I'll still say some purrs for ya!

It fucking SUX, huh? I get Neurogenic Migraines, which will cause the entire right side of my body to go completely numb...or cause every muscle in my body to fire off at random (totally twitchin' out)...or pins/needles everywhere. I also have chronic anxiety and panic attacks, so i feel you there as well ( ... )

My body seems to have decided to start fighting with me over the past couple of weeks. I'm hoping it was just dehydration, but I'm seeing my PCP on Tuesday, so I'll know more then. I'm otherwise perfectly healthy (well, physically...my mental status is another matter entirely;-) I hope it's nothing serious, but I've had issues with my limbs "falling asleep" quite a bit over the past few years (but maybe that's just bad posture or circulation or something...hopefully ( ... )
