Guest guest Posted March 22, 2002 Report Share Posted March 22, 2002 HELEN, DEAR !! I'M SOOO GLAD YA WENT TO THE DOCS, HON !! HE SOUNDS LIKE A REALLY GOOD ONE, TOO !!! YOU BE SURE YA DO EVERYTHING HE SAYS, SWEETIE !! TOLD YA... YA GOT TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF SO YA CAN DO WHAT YA GOTTA DO !!!! 8^) Hello all, I went to the Dr's. today and he walks in and say's you look terrible !!! I said, I feel terrible ) Glad you noticed... He thinks maybe the Lupus (SLE) is back ( I have been in remission for over three years... He also said he is writing down Polymyalgia, ( pain in all muscle's ) and I am to call him right away and get back in if I get any worse...Otherwise one month, unless sooner... He said whatever it is, it needs attention now... To get me into a new Rheumatologist will take 3-6 months... So I get to go back on Plaquinil ( There are so many side affects to that one ( But it is the only thing that actually made me feel like a human being before... I will need to get my eye's checked by a special test every six months as one of the side affects is blindness, and I only have one eye as it is... They drew blood today and are running several test's on that, to see what is going on... Want's me to get back to the Cardiologist as soon as I can, so I asked him if I could have a different one... He said sure, don't like this one you have??? I said that he's ok as a person, but all the things you were worried about, he just shrug's off, and he constantly is watching his clock... When five min's. is up he is walking out the ! door, while I am still asking question's or talking !!! Doc said that will Not do, so I will be seeing a new Cardiologist... ) I am to get my mammogram done as soon as posible also, it is five months overdo... ( I know... I know better... Have been a little occupied around here... Myself was my last concern... But I do have to do what he say's now, because I am falling apart... I just don't feel well ( I just kept saying it was the weather and or all the crap we have been going through, when all along I should have known better... But I Do get storm headaches all the time and the pains Do get worse when there are storms around... But this time they just won't ease up and it is my entire body now:o( He told me to take my pain meds and I told him no... He know's I won't take them, I take Maybe two ta three a month and that is only because the pains are past my tolerence point ( So all in all, I hope to be getting back on track here... So Please bear with me on the days I Just can not get to all my mail... That is my update... Thanks for listening... Love & hugs Helen "Encourage one another.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2002 Report Share Posted March 23, 2002 He had to of been guessing, because I didn't get my blood test untill he left the room... He said it could be the Lupus acting up or the polymyalgia, which is what he wrote on the paper for the insurance company was polymyalgia... So will have to play the waiting game...Could you send me a site on polymyalgia??? I can not find one... Thanks in advance if you do have one... Will let you know whan I hear something ) Thanks for caring...
