first Ultrasound
We went in yesterday for our first ultrasound. Everything looked perfect :) The heart rate was 165 bpm and could be seen very easily. I cried but tried to keep it pulled together. My husband is very excited and was shocked that we were able to see the heart beating. The pictures just look like little globby peanuts...with a beating heart! The ( Read more... ) -

So now the docs have found a growth on my heart and lesions on my brain. I'm so angry! I'm angry at the doc that told me I was too healthy to be seen by a rheumetologist. I'm angry at my mom for not paying attention to the litle cues to my illness when I was a kid. I'm angry because everyone keeps treating me like it's not that bad and it could ( Read more... ) -

I am especially upset because I've been in remission since 2001. Doctors ran a bunch of tests and only found a uti and my sed rate is 40. They put me on antibiotics for the uti last week but I'm feeling worse ( Read more... )
