Re: Therashaetha ___ Still sick

[Guest guest]

Hi Therashaetha,

Did you get to look at any of the symptoms list that I sent out a few days back??? You might want to go through some of those and check your signs with them... Print out the lists and mark yours off then take it with you to your Dr's. appointment... It will really help your Dr. to see what is going on with you... Plus Dr's like it when you come prepared...

I went to my follow-up GYN appointment yesterday to get the resultsfrom the pelvic ultrasound, my GYN told me that she wanted to do a D & Cbecause my cycle has gotten so messed up, she also mentioned that shemight have to tack up my bladder. She also wants me to have theUrodynamics testing done. I mentioned to her that after my cold getsbetter that my PCP wanted to check for Lupus, and MS, and she told methat she wanted to wait until I had the results from all of thatbefore she done anything.I am thinking I am going to have to go back to my PCP with this cold,my sore throat has gotten worse, my earache has gotten a little worsethan it was at first. The cough is better during the day, but I stillhave a problem at night with the coughing, and I am also still havingto use the inhaler everyday. I used to not get sick and if I did I wasover it in a couple of days, I have had this cold now for 10-11 daysand other than my cough getting a little better, I've not had muchimprovement.I have been having a great deal of muscle pain and joint pain, and forthe past week or so I have had a terrible problem with leg and footcramps, I have also been having a problem with my muscles being tenderon my upper legs and upper arms sometimes it even hurts to touch them.My feet also stay cold all the time even with my socks and shoes on,for the past few days my feet get so cold they go numb and I can'thardly feel them. My hands get cold very easily and if they do theyhurt fairly bad. I always thought I had a good pain tolerance, but forthe past 3-4 months it seems that I have some type of pain every day.I have also for the past week been having the times where my wholebody jerks, you would think I was "freezing to death" the way I shakeand jerk. I have had these spells in the past but they did not comethat often. But here lately it happens at least once a day sometimesseveral times a day.The "rash" on my face has gotten a little worse, and I have startedgetting little places on my scalp. The dizziness is still there whichsince I have been having a problem with that for a couple of months Imay be getting used to it. I get tired so easily now when I went tothe GYN yesterday it was all I could do to walk from the car to thebuilding and then to her office. My legs got very weak and I washaving muscle pain. My daughter was with me though and she stayedright beside me to make sure I did not fall, she and my husband areexcellent in helping me and keeping an eye on me, when I am having allof this go on. My parents are also very helpful and supportive.I have not been to work any this week, and in the 3 weeks prior tothis I was only able to work a little, but my boss is veryunderstanding, I was only working part-time to begin with now with allthat I have going on it is really "part-time" work. I talked to myboss a few days ago to let him know what was going on and all he saidwas for me to get to feeling better. So I am very blessed with thatbecause most places I would have been fired by now.Take care all,Therashaetha
