I am still working on photos from my trip to Mexico and will post them soon!!
Today though, was back to reality. I spent 5 (yes FIVE) hours at the pain clinic. My appt was at 9:45, got there at 9:30, the doc didn't see me until almost noon! But, than she spent 2.5 hours with me.
Let me start by saying I just don't know what to think. First of all, the office is more like a spa, on the new patient forms they ask if you are interested in botox, skin treatments and other cosmetic stuff. This pain specialist was recommended to me by my rheumy doc.
She has a western medicine degree, but practices very eastern medicine. Ok, I'm cool with that. She did a FULL medical history and exam. My hands are killing me so to keep this relatively short, the jist is-----yes, she also agrees that I have sero negative, ra, fibro, ibs, polyrheumatica arthritis, neuropathy----all things I have been told before.
She also says my adrenal systems, lymphatic system and liver are shut down. My pupils no longer respond to light, I am a bit jaundice, I have a systemic yeast infection, my chi is blocked(??), I have pelvic floor something or other---a few others things I can't remember at the moment.
She says the swelling in my limbs is being caused by myofascial muscle con stricture something, something something----basically all my muscles are constricted so tightly that blood can not flow, the tendons and ligaments are being damaged and the waste that your cells produce can not be carried away. Ok, makes sense.
She had no comment at the moment on the causes of the miscarriages.
She is drawing more blood tomorrow after fasting, didn't exactly understand all of what its for but a more intensive thyroid and sugar test, hormones, I guess a lot more but I can't think clearly right now.
I will see this special physical therapist next Wednesday who treats this sort of thing. After the blood work comes back, I will start a two month treatment course for the yeast and IV infusions to supplement the organ failure and whatever hormones and vits I am low on.
She is checking to see if she can get the insurance to pay for acupuncture and massage therapy. I am not exactly sure on what the treatments are going to be at the moment. She wants me to stop working and apply for disability but I explained to her that I can not afford to stop working, let alone stop working AND pay for these treatments.
My head is spinning, I am hurting and just can't stop crying. I just have no more energy to deal with this or anything else for that matter. Can I just run away to Mexico forever and pretend this is not my life???
