dr visits

[Guest guest]

Well, I have 2 " ologists " visits behind me. The first one was ophthamologist which turned out good. I'm having double vision and lots of floaters. The floaters were so bad one day that I was swatting at them thinking they were knats. LOL Anyway, everything is fine with eyes, he said it's the lyme.

 

I just saw the hepatologist yesterday at Vanderbilt and he wants me to have a liver biopsy to see exactly what's going on and to see if there is any change since the one I had in 2002. I kinda felt like this was going to be the next step. The good news is my enzymes are back to normal. They very seldom ever get to normal as they are always a little high. I'm really bummed about having to have the biopsy but I know it's best and it's needed for the LLMD to know how best to treat me. They were really worried about my liver.

 

Still not on any treatment and guess I won't be for awhile. I have an appt. with a neurologist on the 22nd. Will let yall know if he finds a brain in there. I have my doubts. :0) He also does tilt table tests which Dr. J wants me to have done. Yay, more tests.

 

Sorry I haven't been around much, been just totally depressed just wonderng if this thing will ever end. Thought I would be enjoying summer but I can barely get out of the house most days.. I have made it down to the pool a couple of times and went on the boat the other day. That should make me feel much better somehow it doesn't. I still can't do anything around the house and it's killing me. My daughter has to come do the laundry and clean some and my son does all the cooking. I have a cleaning lady that does most of the cleaning. I feel like such a burden. They don't make me feel that way at all but I know it's getting old to them just like it is me. I just want to sling this cane and wheel chair out the door. I never thought at 52 I'd be in this kind of shape. Just got a handicap sticker but that does come in handy. I never would before even though I needed it because my illness was invisible, can't say that anymore.

 

Sorry, just getting some stuff off my mind this morning , I guess.

 

Hoping to get out on the a little while today. Hope you all are having a good weekend.
