Journal Entry for May 3, 2008 Mood
Saturday, May 3, 2008 | A General Update story

Well, here I am again finally. All of my recent tests came back negative. Thank God no cancer. I just got approved for long term disability and got my back pay. I do not have to worry about how to feed my daughter or go to the food shelf!!!! Yes!!!!! Since I now have 3 months pay in one I am going to open a savings account for emergencies.

 

Pain was really good this week up until yesterday. I am having bad leg, hip and ankle pain. My gp does not want to run additional tests on me and my pain doc doesn't do that, just treats me for the fibro and I don't take any pain meds, refuse to. I am wondering if I should see a neurologist to see if I can get more tests ran to outrule other diagnosis's. I went to an unfriendly non-fibro believing rheumatologist in the past and don't want to go through that again. I had my ana levels show a positive in the past and now that my potassium and bun/creatin levels are high and I am wondering if I may have lupus and it is starting to effect my kidneys. I really don't want to wait until they fail to find out.

 

I just swept my kitchen floor and ran the swiffer wet jet through the middle of the kitchen floor and put the clean dishes away. My daughter is going to help me with the laundry when she is finished reading her book. I am going to reward her with a movie tomorrow. It will be nice to have some time with her outside of the house with her. I think I am going to go out and look for a table lamp and some sandles tomorrow also.

 

Time to get dressed and sort the laundry....
