Happy Holidays & Love Knots Update Info
Hey everyone, it's that time of year again; Merry Christmas, Yuletide Greetings, Happy Hanuka, Happy Kwanzaa to you all, and once more I had hopes of having Love Knots done. Even had the month planned to finish it up. But, once again, that did not happen - though I AM further along than I was last year. I have gone back and re-edited the chapters I have previously posted. I will not remove the old versions but add the new chapters as Edited in the subject line when posted. Also! Something else new I am doing - I will be working with a friend of mine from facebook to read my work and have audio files of my stories - and hopefully other stories on the_old_road soon. Why am I doing this? Well, it's become harder for me to read things with my still untreated ADD and now I am waiting to hear from my doctor and my insurance on whether my insurance will cover natural remedies for me since I've found out in November that I can no longer take pharmaceutical drugs and have been using natural remedies since. So, right now the ADD still plays a big part in my life and dealing with things. It gives me migraines when I make myself read and the words swim on the page or screen, so I have decided to recruit someone to make audio files.
News from last month, I ended up in the ER three times in four days with severe abdominal pain and bleeding and have learned that my OBGYN thinks its just from a ruptured cyst. Me, I'm thinking more than one if that was what it was and not to do with endometriosis, so I learned that I can't take ANY pharmaceutical drugs cause I was on birth control pills to control the endometriosis when all this went on, and it was they type that I shouldn't have ovulated at all, but my body built a tolerance to them and they were switched out after 8 months to a different kind, and that second kind only lasted 3 months before once again, I built a tolerance to them. Since then, I have gone to natural remedies such as plant form herbs - no, not taking Marijuana - like lavender and peppermint for pain and essential oils. So yeah, now I'm waiting for news from my doctor about whether the letter about getting them covered for me is out to the insurance company and what the insurance company has to say about it. They'd told me they would if the doctor had a letter stating it was medically necessary, and well, I think it is cause they've already had to increase my fibromyalgia pain meds and with the way my body builds tolerance to drugs I can just see that will head me down a road that I don't want to go again. I guess I'm one of those few blessed with a cool and understanding doctor who will do that kind of thing for me.
