Another day...another med
I saw my neurologist the other day. She was very reassuring and said that I appeared better than the last time she saw me.Now I don't have to see her again for four months. As a reward for doing well she gave me another prescription(Huh?). I'm glad that I wasn't doing worse. She may have given me even more meds. As it is I'm on so many meds thatI feel like I should just back up to the pharmacy in a flat bed truck and say "fill 'er up". This time the pill is a muscle relaxer/anti anxiety pill. It's kind of funny. The meds I take for asthma can make me tense and anxious so now I have to take a new one to counter act the asthma meds. You have to laugh to keep from crying. Lord knows I don't want to cry. Then they'll put me on an anti depressant.(and it would ruin my macho image...such as it is) As it was I barely avoided those. When the neuro asked me how I felt,I honestly responded that I was tired of all of my health issues. I had to do some MAJOR talking to convince her that it wasn't depression. I just sometimes wished things were better. By no means was I giving up... I was just griping. There is a difference.... I'm going to have to remember to be careful around her. I'm now clear until September, when I see the pulmonologist. Prior to that I have to get chest xrays. I return to the neurologist in November when I am to get another MRI. Ahhh the life of a celebrity. It seems as if everyone wants a picture. On the plus side,the Cards won last night and our local weather remains wonderful. While things could be better, life is still good. Be well,Tom

Tom, the asthma meds make you anxious? I hear your frustration with the many meds. I forgot to mention that this is what doctors do....they diagnose and prescribe. Oh yeah, they order tests too. You seem to have experienced it all! Well, really I am glad your sense of humor persists and your team won. Tom, you are a happy man. So content! Thanks for checking in. So glad you still come on here. :-)
