Had to go to the Dermatalogist this morning. He biopsied two questionable places. One on my chest & the other on left shoulder. The one on my chest has us a little concerned. won't know results till end of week or first of next week. Wish me luck.
Went to the doctor Mon. for monthly update/meds Rx. This time I wrote things to discuss down so as not to forget as I usually do. Found out it's ok to take the Flaxseed oil & B-12 & Super-B supplements with my meds.
We discussed the problems with my neck. Pain is getting worse, muscles tighter & left arm hurting/numb. She checked Neuro's notes and he said that the only thing that can be done is surgery. I have Osteoarthritis in all 7 levels with bone spurs & nerve impingement. He gave me a epidural/cortisone shot last May & I had a terrible allergic reaction to it for 3 months. He says we can't do that anymore. She is sending me back to him to schedule surgery. Not looking forward to this at all.
Then she checked my ears because I told her the fluid in there never goes away. It's causing the vertigo to get worse. Wouldn't you know it, double ear infections. Funny thing is they don't hurt. Just itch & my hearing is getting worse. she is sending me to ENT for possible tubes to be put in. What the hey? I thought that was just for kids.lol She says sometimes adults have it done with chronic ear problems. I guess this is chronic. Been dealing with it about 5 years.
So, all this bad news just sucks. The only good thing was I lost 4 lbs. since last month. (yeah Me!) guess I'll just have to take it all a day at a time. so tired of this freaking fatigue & pain. Feels like god needs to do a Re-Call on my body & possibly give me a new one. One that's not falling apart at age 46.

Just remember that if the world didn't suck, we would all fall off of it. I hope you begin to feel better real soon

I wonder how long you've had those ear infections? Cause you know that that could also contribute to your fatigue. Chronic infections wear you down. Did the doc tell you exactly what the surgery on your neck would involve? Just curious how that all works. I hope you are feeling better. Don't worry honey about the ear tubes, my daughter had them when she was 8 - I think I was more upset about it than she was lol. Take care...hugs jilly

You know what taste really good after a surgery Jamba Juice with fiber. Have your friend bring you one. Be careful with the ear thing it can be dangerous. I put tea tree oil in my ears and down my thought and it eat strep and anything bad. I talked to a mom who's daughter had tubes. She put the tea tree oil in her ears. It heal her ear up so well the tubes feel out.. She ran to the doctor and he said they never looked better and she didn't need them anymore. I know another person trying to fix me... What was I thinking... I will not ask you- "How you doing?" I will say " It's good to see you!!!" Dose that question get to you to? :-)
