went to Dr 's on Monday

[Guest guest]

Hi Topper,

I went to both my DR's on Monday. Let's start with my PCP. He

put me back on my seroquel and I told him I cancelled my sleep study

he just said that's fine.So I am now on Effexor xr and seroquel and

I am always tired or falling asleep no matter where I am Hey today I

fell asleep while eating Pizza with my mom. She stopped talking and

I just drifted away. Then in the afternoon I went to my Rheumatoid

DR and he gave me something to see if he could get rid of the

infection that is causing my arthritis.I have spondylomyopathy.Turns

out my bones are so brittle and I could break very easily so we

can't group hug to hard I break!!! LOL Then he gave me 2 brouchures

on 2 different medications and I have to research them and decide

which one I would take. I think the cheaper one....LOL but oh my

goodness the side effects on both of them is unreal. One of them it

says in the brouchure that it will damage the thyroid beyond repair.

I don't think that is one I will use. it also damages the liver and

kidney. Neither Dr said anything about my thyroid till I brought it

up. PCP DR said we will be doing blood test next time. The Rheum.

said he is trying to help me in every situation he can and right now

the thyroid is functioning it may not be right but it is well enough

right now.He says he is seriously concerned about my bones this

disease is eating my muscles and my bones rapidly. he wants to get

that slowed down.Told me I can't shoot archery target for the simple

reason he can't fix it if I break and shoulder bone or neck my head

will hang and I will never be able to hold it up again. I think it

is awful though that you have to pick do you want to live in a wheel

chair or take medication for you thyroid so you can function

normally . I don't feel I should have to pick what part of my life I

want to go with out.Well Just took my nutty pill and it is working I

am going to pass out soon gotta run

Huggsss
