I mean, REALLY, do they know anything? ha ha! My doctor is rather wishy-washy when it comes to treatment. I told her about my joint pain and she's like "well, it could be this virus, and I don't think you have RA (rheumatoid arthritis), but there are people who have RA with negative RA factors... but let's run a crap load of tests to just check for lupis, RA, Parvovirus B19, etc.."
Did I mention I have a phobia of needles? It once took 3 people to hold me down *cough* I was 16 or so at the time*cough* Now I can just look the other way, but my heart still races. They always ask me "are you ok?" Maybe I just get pale or something? I don't know. But the nurses also wanted to take my purse because they liked it ha ha!! It's one of my fake Prada bags from China, and Prada is my favorite, I have to say. My friend D promised me that when he gets rich and famous, he'll buy me a Prada bag and my friend Nina a Louis (Vitton, that is). haha! I miss those guys!
But anywho, I'll probably get my test results back next week, so *crosses fingers* that it's not anything serious, but only a slight injection. She gave me some steroids to help with the pain, but it only blocks it, not gets it at it's source. Though I have to say that I'm pain-free and not stiff at all with the steroids, so I'm rather glad that it's blocking whatever!
Well, we'll see. just thought you guys might want an update. *shrug*
