I know this update is late, but I've been too busy playing computer games and video games...lol.  I've also had more doctors appointments and tests.

The bleeding seems to finally be under control.  Woohoo!!!!!!  My OBGYN put me on another birth control that seems to actually be working.  I'm very happy for the relief finally, but now I need help getting rid of the cramps from hell that come with the periods I'm supposed to have during the reminder pills.  I've tried ibroprofeen at prescription dosages, and prescription naproxen...nothing helps.  My current OBGYN said the only thing I could try now is codine and I'm a bit leary of that since I'm very sensitive to meds.  If it's as strong as Lortab, then there is absolutely no way I can take it....it would be way too strong for me to handle.  Ugh...what to try now?  And there is still no diagnosis as to what was causing the bleeding problem.  I've had every test they can give me that I know of, but my OBGYN is still unwilling to check me for endometriosis.  She said that if the ultrasound I will be having this week shows something wrong with the lining of my uterus then she will check me for pollyps and endometriosis.  We'll see what happens.

I'm still not on disability yet and I no longer have a lawyer to help me with my case.  I'm currently looking for another one.  If anyone knows of a disability lawyer located in Orange County, CA, please let me know.

I still am unable to get in to see a rheumatologist.  I have to appeal my doctor's referral request that got denied twice by MSI(state financial health care program).  I have to call them this week to find out how I can appeal it.

Well, that's all I can think of right now.  I will try not to make my updates so far apart.
