Dear sweet Debra- I'm sorry you had such a scarey Dr visit and with no real

answers when

you were done!

I hate the headaches. I went to the neuro a few times. First time the diagnosis

was

Atention Deficit Dissorder (wich I think is true but I wont take the med for it)

The second

time and an MRI later it was Menieres, which explains why I get vertigo, motion

sickness

(when sitting still), hate bright lights especialy flickery ones like cop cars,

and

occassionaly fall flat on the ground for no apparent reason. That's about the

worst I've

had until getting the fibro symptoms and not getting a diagnosis other than that

I am

insane (which I knew anyway and has nothing to do with the PAIN) Also, I did get

cortisone

shots once, 2 in each ankle, from a podiatrist-hurt like hell and I swwore I'd

never get

another, stopped my feet from hurting though for about 2 weeks. SO poo-poo to

all my

complaints. I started this all off just to offer you some sympathy.

I

left in tears. He didn't say anything about my weight because of all the other

problems I

have been having. I have been dizzy and at times have problems with my eyes and

have

headaches every single day that I am awake. Sometimes they are migraines and I

have to

take a shot and sometimes they are just plain old headaches.

Pseduotumor Cerebri. They really don't know what causes it exactly but after

reading some

websites everyone of them stated it can be brought on by doses of Cortizone. How

many

of those injections have I had??? About 8!!!! They say that if it's not treated

or caught early

you could lose your eyesight and there is a possiblity that the CFS that floats

in your brain

does not decrease in pressure surgery would be involved.

is

Fibromyalgia and I am FAT!!!!!!!

for letting me

vent.

Thanks Cassandra, I just don't know what is going on with me and it seems that

no one else does either! I have an appointment with eye specialist this Thursday

at 9:30...........we will see what he has to say or not say. I have decided that

I am not going to expect anything on Thursday or any other doctors appointment

for that matter. I feel like sometimes I am just getting screwed!!!

Debra, that's completely messed up what you are going through and have

to face just around the corner.

Stay strong, vent as much as you need to, the PenPal campaign is going

to kick off shortly and will be something to look forward to rather

than dread.

The board it at your disposal, we listen because we care.

Thanks ! I look forward to the pen pal to get started.

Dear Debra,

I am so sorry. Maybe it won't turn out to be anything severe. I will indeed pray

for you. Hang in there.

Love,

I had been using Sweet N Low but since all of the postings I have started to use

sugar again. It's the safest thing there is to use. Other than drinking coffee

in the mornings, I only drink decaf tea and water so I guess will just have to

see what happens.
