I went to the chiropractor for the first time ever today. I knew my back was bad but I was not prepared how bad it really is. He took three xrays. The two vertebrae behind my mouth is okay. My cervical spine is completely flat. That is very dangerous. It could leave me paralyzed from the neck down. Once that sunk in, he showed me the other xray. My whole spine is crooked and not only that, it's actually twisting. It's twisting and turning inside of me which is why I was having falling down episodes. He said that's not a good sign with the Fibromyaliga. I almost can guess that once my Rheumatologist sees this August 4th, his diagnosis will probably change to MS. Secretly, I have suspected MS the whole time. I don't know how to feel. I get hopeful, take all the steps I can to be healthy, and then WHAM another diagnosis. I have to go to a lot of therapy now. I have to email the health discount plan again and get them to call the doctor, agree on a price/session and go from there. The doc I saw wanted me in therapy 3 times a week. To top all this off, my son's real dad is home from Iraq and expects me to pick up and drive to San Angelo at the drop of a hat. I am having to change my birthday plans to going and dealing with all this. Happy Stinking Birthday to me on Saturday. I'm a little frustrated and emotional right now. I was having a good day too. My businesses are not optional. They are my very survival. I'm hoping that getting my back fixed, that my pain will go away. Most of the pain is in my spine and legs. My Rheumy said that I had a secondary Fibromyalgia but nobody was finding the problem. I decided to be my own advocate. I am so glad we found it now and not when I wake up not being able to move one day. At least, I can do something now. My video montage is cheering me up though.
