WENT TO THE DOCTOR YESTERDAY, FOR THE NEW MEDICATION AND ALL THE BLOOD TESTS...
After a 50 minutes delay - my doctor, not me - I went to see her.
I´ve updated my list of questions and had prints and all for her to see.
But after waiting in the same chair for 50 min., then walking to her office -
I got one of the nerve/ muscles-attacks that I get more or less every day (My other diagnosis have come out as mentally problems) but she watched it happened and for the first time a doctor saw how it was.
She made many neurology tests on me - following her finger, pressing against her arms, she tried my reflexes with the hammer… I didn`t have many reflexes. (However, today I have many bruises on my skin, where she touched me, I bruise that easy)
I´ll get an appointment with a nerve specialist, to see if that has any impact on me.
The blood work and tests that I had were fine, except my iron levels are excessively high. Therefore, I am of my daily vitamins now. Why they are so high no one knows.
I´ll have new blood work in four weeks, to see if it is just the vitamins or something else, that the doc will get into later.
I´ve gotten three new medications last time and one didn´t work at all. I´d had to self-medicate with the old meds, so I am now back on my old meds.
The arthritis medicine she gave me last time actually works on my hands. I´ll never be able to make a fist again, but the pain is less so that is a win.
That was what she had time for, so asking for my mammogram and a bone scan - to see if the breast cancer had gone in my bones - I have an appointment in two weeks...
So yeah…
My next post will be Happy Happy….
