Little update

MRI last week = good
Bleeding stopped = awesome
Florida in 18 days = hell yea!

I am feeling really good these days. My fatigue has subsided for now. Last week my body let me know it was time for a slow down. I came home from work and passed out at 6 until 8. Got up and brushed my teeth, etc and was back in (took a little white pill) and slept for 12 more hours. I woke up feeling amazing. I've been feeling pretty good since. hummm.... need to listen to the body more.

My doc upped my anti- convulsant meds because of the episodes that I have been having. They are still happening so I need to call and let him know. *writing that down* He was thinking about switching my meds anyway so hopefully the new one will control things better.

Thanks to this wonderful thing called the internet I think I have diagnosed my foot/ankle issue. My feet started hurting me about 1 year ago and I thought it was because of flip flops. Then my ankles started to hurt, too. That has been going on for quite some time, too. Went to the doc, physical therapy and got insoles. Still hurting. I was poking around on the internet and I think I have falling arches. So through my internet diagnosis I will be buying arch supports. HA! Take that doc!

More to worry about

The bleeding has not stopped. It's not as bad as it was a few months ago but when I am on the "shot" and another drug to make me stop bleeding it is a big deal. I called the nurse and told her what was STILL happening the doc called and wanted me to get a sonogram done on my uterus. I did that today. Everything is good. The doc at the clinic was funny. He went over the sonogram with me while it was being done and he did see some "debris" I asked him "blood clots?" He said yes, or cigarette butts, tires, bottle-caps, etc. Good that he has a since of humor. He didn't see anything that "impressed" him as he put it. So that is good, right? But it doesn't give me any closure to the bleeding issue. Next.....

I also have a MRI next Wednesday and treatment next Friday. I have not been sleeping well and had really weird dreams of tumors all over my body. Nice, eh?

Talk to you next Wednesday.
