Still waiting!
Well yesterday evening I went to the GP,managed to get a cncellation slot thankfully as was going roung twist with bones and headache. Within seconds of getting in I turned into a blubbing wreck.....think i'd just reached the end of my pretty long tether and it had to come out....... I had gone to get different pain killers and he gave me on co-dydramol ( so far just as pants as everything else!) . Anyway as I proceeded to break down I said "perhaps you'd better look at the screen for my last few visits and you'll see whats up" so he did and as we talked I asked if he'd any experience with acromegaly as it turns out he does with post surgical patients on meds so at least that's encouraging if I do test positive. Still had the overall impression that he thought I was not a very likely candidate........Why is is that when you mention this rare disease they look at you as if you have horns!!!! Seeing as humans are all very individual beings why is it I must look like to an image from an medical text book of yesteryear.......from what i've seen most images depict persons with advanced disease...... For me I've got enough going on in my body, plus some appearance changes to warrant investigation..... I said to him theres not enough time in a consultation to have sat there before and rattled off every sign or symptom that now in hindsight could be linked to this, ........Dear DR my voice seems to have broken.......my belly really sticks out...........sometimes I slur my words.......my earlobes seem big and squidgy.......i think my toes are getting fat ....lol .... i have a belting crease between my eyebrows and on the subject of those why don't they sit right anymore, I look pretty angry sometimes........lol the list is seemingly endless or maybe I am just vain, cept I hate mirrors ;)Gosh am enjoying rambling on here.......anyway upshot was I needed to vent all that stress yesterday and toay although I have bone pain and a slight headache I do not feel doolally any more .........mentioned to GP that i've never experienced moodswings like this despite taking antidepressants half my life........and today is a decent swing for first time in weeks
