Update on me

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone-

Nothing much good to say over here. I found out today that for the first

time ever, my cholesterol is significantly elevated and even though I'm

overweight, it was normal 5 months ago and always before. The doctor put me

on medication for me! I reacted with " I NEED medication for it NOW " ... I

can't believe it changed like that in 5 months... gee, it's not like I eat

at Mcs!

I think part of it is the fact that things ahve gone up so high in terms of

groceries and I eat primarily organic. Over some months,. we haven't been

able to afford so much in terms of our usual array of fruits, veggies and

stuff and I think this must be the culprit but WOW.

I'm really bummed because this is now the 11th medication added to my list.

I don't want to even know the break down of actual number of individual

pills I take but all I know is that ELEVEN is WAY to many for a 30 year old.

:(

In additon, I STILL have the tenosynovitis in my right hand and it has

become a issue in terms of chronic inflammation and grip strength weakness.

As a result, my doctor is sending me to OT to see what they can do to help.

I don't see what the point is.... I already have a splint... blah...

And just to add to all of that, I have Bursitis in my left elbow. It has

been hurting me persistantly for about a month now and so that is what it

is. At least it's something that will go away but the big problem is

positioning. I dont like it straight or bent.... and if i lean on my arms in

any way near that elbow, its terribly painful. I did not realize how much I

relied on my arms to help me out and so now, I do. Typing is aggrivating

because I'm laying in bed with my ;laptop and my elbow is bent too much so

it's very stiff and unhappy. The doctor told me to ice it a lot.... that's

the treatment I suppose.... =/ I have been doing that....

So yeh.. life is DANDY and FIne....

yay
