after the docs appointment

Dec 02, 2008 19:14



After two weeks of severe stomach cramping, and falling out of bed this morning when one of my legs (the left one) decided it no longer worked, I decided to go to the doctor.

doc couldnt speculate on what it was, but ruled out a pinched nerve in my back or pelvic area.  He thought it might be related to my endometriosis (which I have never actually been officially diagnosed with).. but sometimes those growths effect other nerves in the area.  It sounds like he doesnt have a clue actually, so he has sent me for a scan and blood tests that looks like it has everything covered for all the nasties it could be (sugar, thyroid, cancer).  I have to go back to him tomorrow after the tests.  If this doesnt uncover anything he suggests a nerve specialist.

This is a bit of a pressure situation for me.

So basically I am feeling sore (leg still numb) and pretty low about all of this.

I cant risk going to the ladies night.. I dont know if my leg will sieze up again (it just stops working and its happened three times today for hours at a time) and I will kill myself if I am driving when it happens. also need to do a fasting test for my blood work tomorrow so a joll is a bad idea.

this all sucks.
