I want to reply to my comments, and I really do plan on it, and I apologize for not being more active in your lives, LJ. I'm still working on health stuff, and I promise to still keep you updated.
A couple weeks ago, my older sister had surgery and they found endometriosis in her. She was hurting really badly, and she's had issues on and off for years now, but this just confirmed what we all figured. Between mom's menstrual troubles all her life, and my sister's confirmed endometriosis, my gynecologist said that it's very very likely that I also have it, and that we're on the right track. As it is, I had my third lupron injection yesterday. It's giving me annoying side affects, more annoying this time than the last two, but I'm working through it. I have a lot of support through you guys.
Still haven't found a pharmacy or program to get my medicine for the RA, so I'm still on and off the steroids. The pain is getting worse, and I just really hope that someone is willing to work with me. I can't afford the medicine otherwise, because it's way too expensive and I just don't have it. All of these medical visits and my other bills just got in the way, way before I thought it would have. So taking it one step at a time.
Also, at the end of the lupron injections, if my bladder doesn't ease up, my gynecologist said he will refer me to a urologist. It'll be the same one I went to a couple of years ago. He's really thorough and gives discounts, and he was the one who told me I needed to go to a gynecologist to get checked for endometriosis.
Something I'm doing for the next 10 months is, I'm staying with a 15 year old whose father is being deployed. He had someone set to stay with her, but they backed out the week before his training, so he was asking around if there was anyone to stay with her. He's friends with a very dear friend of mine, and he's been calling me a blessing for the past month. I couldn't leave this guy hanging, you know? His daughter is wonderful, too. She's pretty self reliant as it is, very mature but still very much a 15 year old. She's super creative, loves to sing and write music and play her guitar, a really wonderful artist and just an all around great kid. I've spent the last two weeks living with her to see if we got along, and it'll be good. It'll just be good. She's a sweetie and I like her, and I like that I can help a soldier out when he needs it.
Anyway, I'm going to stop the post here because I'm all loopy from pain medicine and need to lay my head down for a while. I really appreciate all you do for me, my friends, and for staying with me and supporting me through all of this. You don't know how much you mean to me. <3
