OT/ Doc appt.

[Guest guest]

Well, I had the most wonderful doc visit. Very thorough. Gave me

about 2 hours worth of her time! Not only is she a Neurologist - she

is also a Psychiatrist. So, I was definitly at the right place. She

has diagnosed me with Auto-immue Disorder (TBD), DDD, Spondylatrophy

something so far. She had possible Lyme as well. Thinks that there

is some diabetes vs. Hypoglycemia due to her eye evaul. on me. My

left eye is fine! The right has no nerve damage, the blood vessels

are all shot. That is what she thinks is causing my computer screen

to look as if it curves inward to me. I have no tumors in my head -

it is intracranial calcification most likely from when I was

kidnapped and beaten nearly to death and my skull just simply healed

itself and added a bit more for future injury. AR AR! She was leveled

about how I have been (not) treated thus far. I told her that I was

getting paranoid that they were trying to kill me and she

replied, " probably because they were working on it. " She thinks that

I have more than one thing going on and thinks she knows what it is

but wants to cover all basis to make an accurate diagnosis to get me

started on preventive meds.! She also has heard of how high a titer

rheumatoid factor instead of just positive vs. negative. WOW!!! She

said that I have nerve impingement in various areas of my spine and

that the reason that I'm shrinking isn't due to the heat, it is due

to the scoliosis. I probably am a good canidate for bracing at

night. The reason I'm so dizzy when I lean my head forward or

backwards is because my spinal cord is being pinched?(compromised)

She used some other term and instructed me for now not to lean if at

all possible until they get the labs back b4 decided on exactly how

to proceed. I most likely do not have ALS, MS, or parkinson's and

I'm definetly not crazy!!!!!!!!!! When I went I was under so much

stress that my bp was 160/90 CRAZY!!! It has never ever been like

that. Then after 8 vials of blood and near fainting it was back to

normal. The blood tests are... Hep panel to be safe, anticitriline

or something like that, ra titer, ana, ck, crp, sed rate,smooth

muscle, ds, dna, rnp, hemoglobin - lyme, smith and some other common

name test. I will know all the results in 2 weeks! Scary but, I feel

like I'm actually being treated thus far. I have no idea what some

of these are and need to check on it. Anyhow, just wanted to say

hey, I love you guys and miss you. Oh, I almost forgot - I told her

about the group and she said that if any of you have any suggestions

to let me know and she will check into it! Thanks to all and for all

your support and prayers!!!! XXX's Kim PS: I hope that today is

a good day for each and everyone!
