Good grief...

in Indiana, So glad to hear from you, honey. Sorry about all the new symptoms, but I hope you

are mending, now. I had a seven pound ovarian cyst that had to be surgically removed with the left

ovary it has surrounded. I was 29 at the time, and asked them to just take everything. The docs

refused saying I was too young, but I was back within five years for a complete hysterectomy. They

made some money off me, didn't they? LOL

You take care, and keep in touch so we know how you are doing. Loving hugs, MM

It's been awhile since I posted. I just wanted to share the fun I've

had the last couple of weeks. I hadn't been feeling well. I was

running a low grade temp and having terrible chills. I went to the

doc on Friday. He told me I had a kidney infection. He gave me some

antibiotics and sent me home. When Monday arrived I still wasn't

feeling well. I called the doc again and he wanted me in his office

ASAP. He then admitted me to the local " Hilton " where I could

receive antibiotics via IV. Of course the nurses couldn't get my

veins. On the sixth try they finally got it. To add insult to

injury the lab came up to draw blood. I told her I take Coumadin and

get my blood checked once a month. I showed her where they draw and

told her she would have to go deep. Well, wouldn't you know, she

didn't. She moved it around until she found my vein. I had been

there an hour and heard " I'm sorry " way too many times. I figured

that was an omen. Despite the bad luck, I remained positive and the

nurses complimented me on my sense of humor. I asked for a gold star

but they were all out. I told them I have to have a sense of humor

in order to get through all that I do. The next morning my doc comes

in and tells me my urine specimen had white blood cells in it. He

wanted me to have a CT to check for kidney stones. I'd tell you what

I said then but it wasn't very nice! Turns out I didn't have kidney

stones but I did have a ruptured ovarian cyst -- on top of the kidney

infection. I got to come home yesterday morning. I'm black and

blue, exhausted and incredibly sore. My legs have really been

bothering me today. I'm hoping that's because of the inactivity the

last few days.

On another note, a couple of months ago, my rheumy ordered more blood

tests. My RNP was elevated indicating Mixed Connective Tissue

Disease. I won't tell you what I said then either! LOL

I saw a recent post about seizures. I have complex partial

seizures. I take 3,000 mg of Keppra a day to control them. They

tried several other medicines but I couldn't tolerate them. Because

of the Coumadin, the neurologist's choice of seizure meds for me is

limited.

Sorry I rattled on longer than I intended. I guess that made up for

the long lapse in posts. Ya' think?

MM, The doctors make a lot of money off me too. I just go out back

and grab some off the money tree! Don't you have one of those??

LOL Just once I'd like to stop by one of my doctors' homes and tell

them I'd be taking the Mercedes for a week. After all, I helped pay

for it. I've been asking the doctors for a hysterectomy for 3 1/2

years. I've already had a round with endometriosis (sp?) and now the

ruptured cyst. Not to mention the fact that (because I take

Coumadin) when mother nature strikes once a month I'm a mess. I told

them I'm not allowed to have more kids, I have a horrible time once a

month and I'm sick of it. I told them it would be great to get rid

of one problem. They won't until my " back is against the wall. "

Sometimes I feel like putting their back against the wall! Nature of

the beast, huh? I am on the mend now. My legs are still hurting;

but things will get better.
