LOL! Just got back from visiting Melissa in Pennsylvania, and I had a great road trip. With all the detours, it's taken me from 10:30 in the morning to 5:45 at night to make it home, but I'm back! My back is screaming, so I've gotta lie down.
Fibro treatment's still going well. The IV I received really helped my back yesterday, so I'm going to keep with those.
Cyas!

Glad to hear it went well, & that you're back safe & sound. You sure are brave going all that way for treatment. I admire you for it.
Hope your back feels better!

Fingers crossed that the fibro treatment will have some good, long-term results!
I went out Monday night with Melissa, her BF and one of their friends visiting from Turkey. I went really off the wagon for this one (outmeal cookie with choc chips!!   ), but it was worth it because the dinner was great and the company even better. 
The Turkish friend mentioned she'd be taking the train to DC the next day, so she hopped a ride with me instead. And what a ride it was! Her Istambul travel agent had booked her a hovel in Cracktown, VA, and I couldn't let her stay there and sleep AND get a good sleep at night myself. As Mel and I were laughing about it at the time, it looked straight out of CSI:DC, like some pusher was going to kick down the door yelling for his money, b**ch. Yeah, time to go.
So we booked it thru DC at rush hour, which is kinda like one of those movie chases where the lead car being chased hits apple carts, food vendors, and people jump out of the way with their ties flying and suitcases flying open throwing papers in the air. JUST like that. We saw the Washingotn Monument, Jefferson Memorial, Treasury building (where the money is printed), various strip clubs, the World Bank (where Turkish visitor person had a meeting the next day), Georgetown and the National Cathedral. Nelly's Tour of DC, abbreviated.
I think my BF was a little surprised that I called him and wanted him to Mapquest the directions from CSI:DC no-tell motel Rosslyn to some random house in Bethesda, but he was accomodating. It's hard living with me, and he's learned to adapt quickly.
We finaly found what we were looking for, the house of a friend of the family, who took her in and by the way wanted to adopt me, no joke. He declared me an angel and him my surrogate family in Bethesda (should I ever need one), and gave me such a handshake that I might never forget! I took off for home from there and made it, many hours later than expected.
Karma is intact: Today, I was short $4.55 paying for my medications, and the pharmacist at CVS paid it out of her petty cash. I could have kissed her.

Sorry, we were preoccupied! I come up every 2 weeks, usually on Monday, but perhaps next time on a Wednesday as I have to synch up my medications with the time I'll be away. Can't be trying to renew a 'scrip while I'm in Thailand!
Did you have a good spring break?

Thanks Kiwii! I have to wonder sometimes if it's really worth it, but I'm just going to keep going til the money runs out! This doctor has already found the candida plus c. Pneumonia that the others missed, so he's already head and shoulders above the others as far as I'm concerned!
I love your new profile pic!

Wow, that was quite the journey! So glad you were able to rescue the Turkish freind from the slums! 
Karma was definitely on your side at CVS, very cool!

How are you feeling in general lately? Do you have fatigue and aches?
I think I am feeling a little better as the weather gets warmer. My hubby thinks the weather effects the severity of my fibro. I don't know about that but everyone feels better when it is warm and sunny outside.
Glad to hear your treatments are going well.

Great tale!
I am a 100% believer in Karma. Nice to see a prime example of it!

Eh. Fairly boring. I had a lot of work to do for the week I came back so I didn't do a whole lot. I did get to spend some time with my younger sister so that was nice.
Next time is a Wednesday? I hope it's the 12th because I have an exam on the 5th and Passover on the 17th.

You're so sweet!! In a recent past life I was an editor and then I taught college English to freshmen. Recently the boards is the only place I get to crack the writing whip, though.
You made my day! {{{{HUGS}}}}

Thanks so much for the support!! I'm resigned to breaking the bank on my treatments, just to have the peace of mind that *I tried*, and just in case... who knows? Maybe it'll really work.
I totally agree we all need to have sense of humors about all of our treatments. I mean, how many "normal" test results can we possible get back without laughing? We all know we're not "normal."
OK, read: we all know *I'm* not "normal!"
*HUGS* for you, Sweet Sara!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wednesday the 12th-ish. Don't know for absolute sure yet, so I'll have to call and make sure the doc can see me on that date. I'd love to meet up! ONE day we'll get the timing right (my fault, entirely!)!

If we don't laugh at all the tests that don't come back as normal...we'll cry. And I'd rather laugh (most of the time)...so I'm with YOU Miss Nelly! *hugs*
I LOVE your tude! Think I can borrow it when I feel blue? Thanks  (I knew you'd say yes!!!)
How are you feeling today? I hope GREAT! Those treatments better work not just break the bank or the bank is gonna have a say in it all...and we don't want that cause the banks can get pretty rowdy!  
Love you Nel!
