Rheumy Appt...

[StormyRenee]

I had my rheumy appt yesterday...
All my tests were perfectly normal....Even the ANA test was normal....So I guess this means I am autoimmune disease free......
I am very very happy but confused. The rheumy said that my issues could all be Migraine  related.....I have a follow up with my neuro and some follow up mri's to be done......I am going to start my daily migraine preventative and call it a day.....

After that I am officially done with doctors....I am just going to live doctor,tests and appointment free for a while.
I have accepted that I will never find out what caused all this in the first place...I can only hope that it never happens agin.....But I am not going to dwell on what could be or what was..I am going to live for today...

I have had an almost 16 month journey in the depths of Limbo Land..I have been told that I probably have MS and need to start the DMD's....To Being told that I infact do not have MS and did not need the DMD's...I have been told that my MRI's were normal...Then finding out that I have 15+ brain lesions...
I have just had enough....

My official dx is now Migraine Varients (specifically hemiplegic and achepalgic)and I am going to just accept it and move on.....I need to do that for myself and my loved ones.....

I am happy and satisfied with where I am and just going to enjoy me life.......
Please Take Care, Theresa.....

Thank You all sooooo much....

I am not going anywhere... You guys are stuck with me.  :-)


Yes there is frustration in between the lines... Time will deminish that.....
Things may not get better but they do get easier with time....

I am trying  the just rub some dirt on it approach.lol

I want all of you to enjoy your lives...We all know that there is so much more to life than being ill....I just think we forget at times......

Agin Thank You So Much My Friends......

dear theresa,

ugh.  everything was normal which feels good and bad at the same time.  all of this is incredibly crazy making, to say the least, but i think you are doing the right thing for yourself and your sanity at this stage of the game.  take a break and live your life.

just don't leave us!!!

peace,
binx

I like your attitude, Theresa. It's rather inspiring to be honest. It's really hard to accept that medical science is not so advanced in some ways.

Right behind you on the meds thing - take them and see. Review in 6 months or so. Do you have another appt booked wth the neuro to follow up on how you're doing?

It kinda sounds like you've decided to just treat the migraines and see what happens, and that you are OK with it...............

but I feel if I read between the lines there is still a level of frustration lurking in the background.......I hope I'm wrong....but if I'm right, I wouldn't blame you.

Give it some time (i know, I know, MORE time!) take it easy for awhile, and see where things go from here.

Your dx is Migraine Varients, and I think you are right to accept this dx and move on.

You say you're happy and satisfied, and that is very pleasing to hear!

All the very best of health and happiness to you!

Mike
