I had my dental appointment changed (easily) to a suburb for much cheaper and less time. It is March 16th. I'm so glad Michael's mother told me there was a dental school in Downer's Grove! I need to make an eye appointment tomorrow for the end of March and order more contacts. Early April I will buy new glasses online with my new prescription ( Read more... )

I think my lab tests came back okay, but it cost $150 to talk about my furthering treatment with my Lyme doctor (I just spent that much earlier to talk to him this month). I am staying on my antibiotics, going to use Young Living frankincense and oregon oils for the pain in my feet, take Valtrex in a large dose (I might have something viral ( Read more... )

Going to April's was fun, overall. Watched lots of My Little Pony <3 Little Bridgett (her daughter) was cute. I've been in a more anxious and volatile mood lately and I don't know why. I should probably have my psych meds temporarily increased. Which I hate to do. I got really upset hearing that my phone call by my Lyme doctor for my test ( Read more... )

A lot has happened since my last post. I was bedridden for most of the year, including having presumably a large seizure that sent me into a month of vertigo and being pretty unresponsive, unable to care for myself in the most basic of ways, and severe amnesia for the past 4 or so years and worse memory, in general (though my memory had been going ( Read more... )

I'm feeling depressed about my life. I've accomplished so little in the past year other than stay alive. I've had symptom after symptom pop up. Abnormal test result followed by abnormal test result with no "real" answer. Nothing that connects the dots. When I get my dizzy spells, Michael worries what they mean. My brother and mother were ( Read more... )

I feel really fuzzy right now, like I had a seizure or might have a seizure, so bear with me. But I've felt like this for awhile, so it could be a false alarm. But the neurologist doesn't think I'm aware of a lot of my seizures, so who knows? I'm confusing myself. New topic ( Read more... )

Today I was not very anxious. I did feel like fainting when I woke up, though. My head felt heavy and cold, my hands felt cold. Upon standing, I swayed and saw black. So after breakfast (oatmeal) and not feeling better, I had some chicken, which helped very quickly. It had been a couple days since I'd had meat. I'm super reliant on it. I'm ( Read more... )

I found out something interesting when my mother was visiting -- apparently I started drawing (not just scribbling, but focusing for long periods of time and drawing) at 15 months old. I am guessing that is an "autistic thing." A lot of autistics start doing things early/late. Art is one of my biggest talents. Great news is that my mother's ( Read more... )

Today has been a good day and for that I am grateful. Michael and I woke up a bit late. My mother apparently textmessaged me about her dog, whom she was supposed to drop off for me to take care of and then take back to her house before we went to the UU church for our "Spirit in Practice" class. Well, fussy Rasputin didn't want to come over. ( Read more... )

Did errands today. Probably won't get around to painting, but I will at least find a reference picture for the rabbit for the baby shower painting. Maybe I will paint the outline of the rabbit. For errands we went to ALDI (a grocery store) for bottled water, then Caribou Coffee where I bought Michael and myself a frappuccino (yay! I finally ( Read more... )
