RE: It's finally here! The Rheum visit

January 17, 2008

Well praise be to who ever you wana!! I had to wait almost 3 mos. for my rhuemy

visit and I was worried that maybe I woundln't respond to his trigger point test

but I reacted to 16 out of the 18 points and boy did I jump and jerk when he

applied pressure. It's been about 10 mos. since my preliminary DX(diagnosis) and

come Monday I get to see a Fibro Specialist

for the pain relief I've needed. He's a old school Dr. that doen't believe in

allowing his patients to suffer.

I wish YOU the best of luck,you are in my thoughts and prayers! ! !

May My GOD Bless YOU Darelene ! ! ! . . . ............ . . .

finally here! The Rheum visit

Well, although we got snow, sleet and icy stuff in Georgia, the day is going on

and I have my first rheum appt around 9:30 a.m. I am hoping that all the stuff I

bring to the table will help him in making the dx. I know he'll likely want

blood work to r/o lupus and ms because that bloodwork is more than 1 yr old from

my PCP. Had another painful night - woke up somewhat to take another darvocet.

What a hellish life this is! Waiting on my memory foam topper to come in; I

think that's going to help a lot. Plan to continue my chiro care and also the

reflexology and ion cleanses because they help rid me of toxin build-up. I hate

taking all the meds I do - I honestly do. And DH doesn't understand that some

afternoons, a 2 hr nap is sufficient to keep me going. I am no longer the pink

bunny who can go on and on and on.....I pay for it, sometimes brutally with

painful spasms and just general all-over blahness. Ya'll understand.Anyhow, the

appt is at 9:30 am eastern so you guys be thinking positive things my way. I

want this done with so I can move on in my disability claim!Darlene
