Just a litle babble and rant by Cassandra

[Guest guest]

Okay, Wenzdai is a cute screen name but I feel accepted enough to tell you my

name is

Cassandra. Thank you to all who have been praying for my " Baby Girl " , Sophia

and her

Mum.

My muscle pain and extreme weakness continues to be in remission through day

four now.

Last time (Dec-Jan?) it lasted three weeks and I would love to be relatively

pain free that

long again. Turns out the severe frontal headache, face and eye pain, senitivity

to light,

earache and sore throat are all from a severe sinus infection. Went to the new

PCP, she

gave me double script for zithromax to knock out the infection and said I shoud

feel a

little better in a few days and 100% (regarding the sinuses) in a month. She

also made a

skeptical face when I mentioned weenie-Drs evaluation (the one that concluded I

have

Chronic Pain Syndrome, not fibro, and that I am to have no pain meds- even over

the

counter- and must be treated by a Pain Psychologist) and she said " Let's not go

there. "

Then

she assured me that she would look for a pain med that won't interact with

Lithium And

that she would do some research and see if there are any indicators for fibro

that would

show up in

blood chemistry. This is still the good part, I am not yet begun on the babbling

and

ranting.

Now I will begin to babble and if my strength doesn't give out I will move on to

ranting.

Babbling- get that sudden feeling like you don't know up from down and then if

you don't

grab something (or get rescued by somone) you are flat on your back on the floor

in the

store, or at the bus stop, or in the post office? I know it's not low blood

sugar or an inner

ear infection or even Vertigo (that feels differant.) Nausea-not associated with

food,or lack

thereof, and not caused by anxiety--anyone else? Suddenly feel unbearably hot

when

everyone else is fine?- Talking to the guys especialy here; any woman over 35

can quite

properly claim it as a hot flash or power surge. Done babbling for now--

proceede to rant.

Last night I visited the site " (Your State).Gov " and looked up how to file a

complaint against

a Dr. It was quite easy, but time comsuming as I had to find all dates etc. I

filed a

complaint against MRS DR Weenie, for unethical beh including conflict of

interest and

verbal and emotional abuse. All I had to do was fill in all the details on a

form and e-mail

it to the licensing board.

Today again. Manoman this was bad. Saw my shrink, who i love, and she was so

mean and

dismissive about me wanting a fibro eval. I can't even go into the things she

said because

it was so painful emotionaly. She said my pain is psychological. I have tosee

the pain

psychologist. Would love to rant about it

to you all but i am getting acid reflux at the mere thought.

She didn't even acknowledge that this week marks the third anniversary of the

death of

our dear friend, and my PCP of seven years, Deb McMahon NP. Deb died from

complications to RA.

PEACE

And what's up with these new nutterbutter cookies that are round, not shaped

like a

peanut?
