I miss YT!

[Graleyne]

Sorry for making some of you worry because I've been MIA lately. Been in and out of dr offices, hospital, and all that fun stuff. When I have been home I have been knocked out on medication.

They still have no definite answer as to what is wrong with me. Everything from sever cluster migraines/headaches to CFS (chronic fatigure syndrome) to fybromyalgia to MS has been suggested with the latest being some sort of inflamation in some kind of artery that leads to my head. You can tell I was paying a lot of attention when the dr was talking about it, huh? I guess since it had something to do with my head and he used the word "dangerous" I should have listened more carefully. Its just that at this point I don't care what is wrong with me. I just want the pain to stop. That's all. Just a break from the pain so I could get some rest and be able to think straight again would be nice. Sorry. I'm just frustrated and tired.

The girls are doing good. Izzy-Belle (who is now referred to as "The Boss") is going very well. She has established that she is most definitely commander in chief leaving the Poopanut sitting in my lap with a "What the hell just happened? How did she do that?" look on her face. Don't worry though. S'anah is still ruler of the toys. They are all HERS and that is that.

Both girls are pretty much glued to me at all times. They don't understand why I keep leaving them home or where I go when I do. So they have decided that when I am home I am not to leave their sight - not even for a second.

I just wanted to post and say that I miss everyone and that I hope to be able to get back to being myself and being back for good really soon.

Huge hugs,
Aerrica, Poopanut, and The Boss

Aerrica, there you are. I am so sorry you have been sick and in pain also.
Pain, as you already know, can just take all your energy away. I hope the
doctor's can find out the problem and you get the right meds to start
feeling better. I can only imagine how hard it must be to take care of
your family and the furbabies when you feeling so sick.
Sending you a YT prayer to get well again.

Hugs,

[Jody Renfroe]

Glad you're back! I hope they can find out what's wrong and make you well. Your babies sound so sweet!

[sexiixtc]

I'm soo sorry you have to deal with all this pain.. and the worse part is that the doctors can't figure it out... Have you tried going somewhere else for a second opinion??

I will keep you in my prayers. Please, please keep us updated! And tell the girls they are doing a good job making sure everything is OK in the house while mommy's sick

I really hope you get to feeling better soon being sick is no fun...especially when they can't figure out what is causing it.

hugs!!!!!!

[nvnvgirl]

Aerrica~ glad to see you back even if intermittently. At least we know you're hanging in there! Hope they can figure out what's going on with you soon and get you on the right treatment/meds so you're feeling 100% again. Take care!

prayers coming your way hoping the doctors can figure out what is making you feel this was,Get well soon.

Aerrica - hope you're feeling better real soon. This may sound really strange, but considering your symptoms and list of diagnosis suggested - are you a diet soda/beverage drinker? There have several studies done with various head ailments and MS symptoms that have a direct link to the brain chemistry that gets altered with aspartame and other such artificial sweeteners found in diet sodas/teas/lemonaides, etc.

For some people, it doesn't cause a problem, but for others who are sensitive, it can literally cause all the symptoms you are speaking of. If you are a consumer of these and your doctor hasn't suggested it, you might want to completely eliminate any type of artificial sweetener from your diet and see if that makes any difference.

I'm sorry you're having such a rough time. I hope the doctors can find out what's going on and take care of it for you.

Hang in there!

That is something I have recently started to consider and am in the process of giving up my precious Cherry Coke Zero and diet Wild Cherry Pepsi. It is HARD. I remember reading somewhere that caffeine is actually more addictive than cocaine and heroin and I think I believe them! Geeeeez.

I was talking my GaGa (who's been an RN longer than I've been alive) ealier and she actually suggested calling my insurance company and seeing how much they would pay for allergy testing so I am going to do that and discuss it with my doctors.

It stinks because I'm limited in the amount of research I can do because of the pain. I can only spend 10 - 15 minutes at a time on line. Looking at the computer screen makes my head hurt even worse. Trying to read books, etc has the same effect. I've had my eyes checked and there has been no change in my vision so that isn't what's causing the headaches.
