Burning Continues

Let's review:
Doctor #1 looked at me and nothing else before stating it was an allergic reaction and gave me a steroid shot and oral steroids to take. These gems caused me not to be able to sleep and made me cry alot.
Doctor #2 said stop taking those nasty steroids, looked at me and nothing else before stating that we would take some blood and run some tests to check my thyroid - test results NORMAL.
Doctor #3 never saw me, his nurse said let's take more blood and run more tests to check for thyroid and/or perimenopause - test results NORMAL.
Doctor #4 (today) - looked at me, ran me through some brain tests and wrote copious notes on what is happening, then consulted with another doctor. Decided to take more blood to test for diabetes which does run in my family and is setting me up for nerve conduction testing. Also, gave me a shot to help with the headache issue. That did help but only for that.

So here I am again BURNING from head to toe especially on my right side and nothing done yet! Screaming has commenced!

All Things Normal

Tuesday the nurse called and said all my tests are normal. So I went through yesterday feeling like maybe it is all in my head. I have an excellent imagination but who knew I could will such hideous problems into existence. That is some true magic! As I am always trying to self diagnose, I am now back to maybe it is a deeply ingrained allergic reaction. Because most of this started the day after we cleaned the cats room from top to bottom. I have a friend who reads auras who says that most of the murkiness in my aura is around my chest, neck and head which is where most of the burning resides during the day. The wake up call has arrived, I have been doing yoga but will continue and I WILL eat better and take better care of myself and lose some weight so I can be more healthy and get these nasty toxins out. Be banished you evil micropes!

Decent Day

Short and sweet! Yesterday was decent only had a headache in the morning and burning ear throughout the day. Evening was great! Still no word from the doctor! I will continue harassment today in hopes to get some kind of answer!

Fire and Ice

"Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice." - Robert Frost

No call from the doctor about my tests so I will be asserting myself into their lives first thing Monday morning. I am sure that it doesn't seem like a rush to them but to me it is almost starting to feel normal which should scare me to death. No one should be burning alive most of the day and think that is normal. I recently purchased a book on Herbal Antibiotics and now am on the bandwagon of cutting off medical antibiotics. We are killing ourselves with things that should be helping us. Bacteria is smart and is teaching itself how to be resistant to our wisdom. Folks, malaria is now a problem again! How crazy is that! When you think about it, there is alot of good sense in realizing that a medical antibiotic with only one ingredient and that kills all bacteria whether good or bad is not as beneficial as a herbal antibiotic that is very complex and only works against bad bacteria. Garlic is one of the best and based on studies bacteria can't figure it out and does not become resistant to it. So let's all go out and get us some and smell bad together but stay healthy! Anyway, another burning neck, head, arm and ear day. It drains my energy and kills my focus so luckily I was not at work. Hopefully, someone will just confirm I am menopausal and we can work on a plan soon. Oh wait, now the feet are tingling. Here's the ice!

More Symptoms

Had blood work done yesterday with results hopefully back by Friday. Still having symptoms on top of symptoms. I made a list yesterday and it is very long and includes some things that I would not put out for public knowledge but things like headaches, burning in neck and head, tingling in hands and feet, disrupted sleep patterns and major mood swings and that was just on Monday. Anyway, I know that there are so many people out there in much worse situations than I am. But when it happens to you it is hard to just push through. I have always believed that your mind can control your body and I am fighting hard to make my mind get over this but I think I will need help. So far I am doing yoga everyday and trying to drink water more. Here's hoping that I sleep well tonight and have maybe just one symptom tomorrow.

Perimenopause

It was not enough that I had to deal with infertility now in the beyond phase and only three years after Erynn's arrival, it appears I have started pre menopause. So far it has been a nightmare with burning hot flashes and almost everyone of the top 35 symptoms they list for perimenopause. Seriously, I already feel old enough and now this too. What is the most upsetting is that it appears that the medical profession has decided that the only way women should deal with this is by take hormone replacement therapy which often leads to fatal illnesses. I will not be going there. Not that I want to pick on men but most medical authorities are men and they have NO clue about how to deal with women and think that we are just making most of this stuff up and give us anti depressants. Well, I have complained enough but it appears now that I will get to share with you what happens as women go through this stage too. What is worse is that not one woman on either my mother or father's side of the family had really dealt with this because ALL of them have had a hysterectomy either very early or before the menopause symptoms were too bad. One of the many consequences of having children later in life is that you then have these issues while they are little girls. I want to put these kinds of things down here so that when she is older and hopefully I have forgotten the horror of them she can understand better what happens.
