Mel,
I'm glad you had a good night. Is there any chance you could have rheumatism? Since you are having joint pain and tiredness? I just thought of it because we had such great weather yesterday, if you have rheumatism, nice weather like that should help you out.

Just an idea.

I hope you don't freeze tonight where you are. Its getting pretty cold on this end of the state. We are supposed to get snow tonight, but I'll believe it when I see it. :thumb:

Congrats on your new little addition! I can hardly wait to see more pictures of Carson. He is so cute!!!

It is already cold here, and the weather has been misty all day. A real dreary day.

It sure is amazing the ups and downs the body will put you through. I was in a good mood yesterday and feeling some what better. Today I hurt like you know what!! I finally had to call my doctor to get the results. Really felt like she dropped the ball. Anyway, I was told by the nurse, not the doctor, that my thyroid levels are normal again and that she wanted me back on the 20th of December to check them again. That she thinks I have Thyroiditis. She doesn't want to give me anything to relieve my pain or to help me sleep through the night. I am really tired all the time and you would think that I would be able to sleep but the pain won't allow that!! So basically I am stuck with being told that I am sick but there is nothing they are going to do about it. I think that the first of the week I am going to demand that I get a referal to an internest and see what they say because I really can't live like this. I have been doing good with trying to ignore it waiting for the results and pushing myself to do things when I am weak and just so tired I don't want to get out of bed. But how long can I keep that up? So I am really glad I have a new addition to the family to keep my mind off of wanting to go "postal" at the doctors office!!! UGGGGG

It has been cloudy and cold here all day. We haven't had any moisture, but you can feel it in the air. From 80 degrees yesterday to 30s today is quite the shock! That is so frustrating that they aren't helping you at all. You are paying so much money to them, you would think they would at least give you something for the pain.

I hope things get better soon. I think seeing a specialist would be a great idea.

OK, so I called the doctors again today. Telling them that they should be able to give me something to get through the night because of being in pain. SO they are putting me on muscle relaxants. And my thyroid is swollen and I am just suppesed to wait it out. If it doesn't get better soon then go to a differnt course of action. Lucky me right. Everything that I looked up said 12 to 18 months. I really hope it doesn't last that long. Just wanted to let everyone know what is going on since you all have been very supportive. I appreciate it.

Mel

I'm glad they at least decided to give you some medicine. 12- 18 months is a LOOONG time to suffer with all this crap! Wow! I'm surprised they can't do anything more for you. I'm sorry it didn't turn out better. You must be so frustrated and upset. I hope it doesn't last that long for you. :xfinger:

Oh Mel, is it about time to change doctors????? Ummmm....yeah!!!! I feel so sorry for you, you poor girl....I hope despite all this you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoy your friends, family and furkids....Your new addition should help take your mind off your pain... :xfinger:

MimisMomma · November 21, 2007, 02:44:10 PM

The first of the week I am going to ask to be referred to an internest. Hopefully that will help. My doc keeps telling me it should go away in a couple of weeks. Well this has been going on since August. Couple weeks my butt!! So I will keep you posted. In the meantime I am going to enjoy the Thanksgiving break and my furkids. Well and try out the new muscle relaxers and see if that gives me any relief.

In case anyone is wondering... I had to go back to the doctor. It wasn't good. Needless to say all tests are coming back fine. But they are puzzled as to why I am feeling the way I am. I have heard that I could have MS! Or the Fibro. So who knows!! I am so ready to give up. Scott thinks that I am not the same person. He feels that he is with someone else. And I don't feel that I am the same person. I really want to know what is going on. Being that I work at the hospital and work in research I feel that they should know what it is that I am going through but no one knows, or I should say they don't want to take the time to find out. I am stuck. Just thought I would give an update since everyone has been so nice and has giving their thoughts and rays to me.

Mel

I was wondering how you were doing. Thanks for the update. Its too bad they still can't figure it out. Have they given you the referral you wanted yet? I'll keep on sending prayers. If you need anything at all let me know. You know my e-mail address.

MimisMomma · November 27, 2007, 09:57:36 PM

I did get the referal. He couldn't figure it out either. So who knows. I still think it is fibro but they are ruling it out. So who knows. I am really tired of it all and ready to give up on it all. Scott of course just wants me back. And so do I!!

Thank you doxie for being there for me. My Aunt has bought a house in Sindney NE and she wants me to come visit! I may take a long weekend and do that. I sure would be nice if I could visit you as well. I don't know if I could handle all three of my babies at the same time alone but maybe one. Wouldn't that be cool? But don't know if I can do it at all with the way I am feeling.

cheryl186 · November 28, 2007, 04:44:20 AM

Gosh Mel, hopefully you can get away to visit your Aunt. My goodness, you have been through soooo much. Praying that the doctors will find out what is wrong and praying it is not MS. Just hang in there kiddo and hopefully soon the old Mel will be back!

If there is anything I can do, just let me know....I know Cinti is a long way from you but if you need another friend to talk to, you have my email address also.

doxielady5569128 · November 28, 2007, 05:26:20 PM

That would be great if you could take a little get away. Just be sure you don't wear yourself out if you do. That would be really cool if we could meet up somewhere since Sidney is so close. Maybe make a trip to Fort Collins or Denver to see the specialists there?

I hear they are better than most doctors in Nebraska, but I'm not sure. The only problem would be the expenses. My head is spinning just thinking how much you have probably already spent. Those bills add up so fast. :crazyeyes:

Maybe you're one of the "lucky" ones that got some kind of new disease they don't know about yet? :thinik: I certainly hope that's not the case. Maybe I watch too much of that Unknown diagnosis show on the Discovery channel. I hope someone can figure it out soon.

MimisMomma · November 29, 2007, 09:55:28 AM

Thank you so much for caring. It is nice to know that there are great people out there to help if needed.

The muscle relaxers are not working. So back to hardly any sleep. Plus I came down with the flu bug that has been going around. That has kept me down for the past couple of days. Had to take more time off work so I am really not happy about that. Wanted to save my time off for around Christmas.

Doxie, I am sorry to hear about your Mom's problems. I really hope it turns out fine and she won't have to go through what I am going through. I am sending rays her way!!

Cheryl, I grew up in Miamisburg OH!! Love the area! I really miss Skyline Chili!! I have to get a shipment of it once a year to get my fix! Thanks for being there for me. Maybe you can have a 5 way for me!!!
