Saw rheumatologist and he changed vitamin D to 50,000 IU every week since my levels dropped from last month. I will be getting further treatment in the Vanderbilt Center for Intergrative Medicine. I will be seeing a psychologist (my choice) to deal with my pain issues and low self esteem, myofacial deep tissue massage and pool therapy. As I progress more treatment will be added.
I am getting bladder instillations to try and control the spasms causing my pain and to protect the lining of the bladder. These are pretty uncomfortable for about 24 hours and then they help somewhat. I will have a series of six. I have intersistial cystitis and pelvic floor pain syndrome.
I had an mri of my thorasic spine and it revealed ddd, spondylosis, several small herniations and one disk with small canal closure. I will get trigger point injections for this.
I no longer drive due to the fact that I never know when my legs are going to stop working. My DH, my priest and a friend will get me to my appts and treatments.
Love and hugs to all,
Annie
