Still sick

[Guest guest]

I went to my follow-up GYN appointment yesterday to get the results

from the pelvic ultrasound, my GYN told me that she wanted to do a D & C

because my cycle has gotten so messed up, she also mentioned that she

might have to tack up my bladder. She also wants me to have the

Urodynamics testing done. I mentioned to her that after my cold gets

better that my PCP wanted to check for Lupus, and MS, and she told me

that she wanted to wait until I had the results from all of that

before 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 worse

than it was at first. The cough is better during the day, but I still

have a problem at night with the coughing, and I am also still having

to use the inhaler everyday. I used to not get sick and if I did I was

over it in a couple of days, I have had this cold now for 10-11 days

and other than my cough getting a little better, I've not had much

improvement.

I have been having a great deal of muscle pain and joint pain, and for

the past week or so I have had a terrible problem with leg and foot

cramps, I have also been having a problem with my muscles being tender

on 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't

hardly feel them. My hands get cold very easily and if they do they

hurt fairly bad. I always thought I had a good pain tolerance, but for

the 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 whole

body jerks, you would think I was " freezing to death " the way I shake

and jerk. I have had these spells in the past but they did not come

that often. But here lately it happens at least once a day sometimes

several times a day.

The " rash " on my face has gotten a little worse, and I have started

getting little places on my scalp. The dizziness is still there which

since I have been having a problem with that for a couple of months I

may be getting used to it. I get tired so easily now when I went to

the GYN yesterday it was all I could do to walk from the car to the

building and then to her office. My legs got very weak and I was

having muscle pain. My daughter was with me though and she stayed

right beside me to make sure I did not fall, she and my husband are

excellent in helping me and keeping an eye on me, when I am having all

of 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 to

this I was only able to work a little, but my boss is very

understanding, I was only working part-time to begin with now with all

that I have going on it is really " part-time " work. I talked to my

boss a few days ago to let him know what was going on and all he said

was for me to get to feeling better. So I am very blessed with that

because most places I would have been fired by now.

Take care all,
