Funny you mention rheumatology workups

[Guest guest]

I went in again yesterday to see mine to whine and hold forth about all the

stuff going on in my body and to plead for a cortisone shot in my right knee.

Which I thought I would never do but was grateful for getting it.

Anyway - he's been seeing me every 3 months and we are desparately trying to get

the monster inside my body to show itself. So far he has called it seronegative

rheumatoid arthritis because nothing shows up in the bloodwork but it acts that

way. Whatever it is, it is getting worse. Now it is going after my brain. The

MRI in the hospital indicated microvascular ischemic disease and there is a

non-specific abnormal EEG wtih generalized cerebral slowing indicating cerebral

dysfunction. And evidently maybe a baby aneurysm in there. And non-specific

neurodegeneration. YA THINK THERE COULD POSSIBLY BE ANY MORE NON-SPECIFIC CRAP

GOING ON IN MY BODY?????

So what is taking Imuran like? Evidently it may become a new player in my

medicine box next month if I can tolerate taking it. We did all the bloodwork

for that yesterday.

If anybody sees me wandering around in the streets of Lubbock blathering about

things that don't make sense or trying to ride my Labrador Retriever like a

horse, ya'll call somebody. Evidently my brain could go tottering off on its

own and leave the world behind.

But my kidneys still work. So FPPPTPPPTTTTTTTTTTHHHHH, damn autoimmune disease

whatever you are. Mess with me, I'll just go pee.
