Hey Guys! Kimi Health Update~
Well I was fixing to have a major attitude with my Dr this morning as a few of you know. I got a call at 11:30am, an hour or so before my appointment with my Family Dr. The Nurse called to tell me that there was no need to come in to see him cause he didn’t need to hear about what my Neurologist said. The first Dr who thought I should go cold turkey sent them a report about what was going on. So they said…don’t come…he doesn’t need to hear about your headaches and he won’t talk to you about the depression. I couldn’t believe it. After a few conversations with her I told her I was still coming, and she gave me the polite advice to only talk to him about about thyroid.
Daddy went with me and it all turned out ok. We spoke mostly about my weight issue. The thyroid will be tested again next month but it’s possible my systems are simply lagging behind the biological wellness. He wants me to try to go on a Gluten-free diet for a week (this would mean no wheat, no carbs). That may in fact prove to be a “cure” for some of my problems. Otherwise he would like me to try a modified Atkins’ diet. He did ask briefly about what I was doing with the headache and depression and I gave him the reader’s reader’s digest version.
I spoke to the Nurse of the Neurologist today and they proscribed me something for pain since I’m now off the steroid. In two weeks when the Neurologist gets back from vacation I’ll start seeing about a preventative drug. I have a psychologist appointment on Friday morning to get my meds back started. And I’m waiting a week or two before I get back in with my Trainer. I’ll also be scheduling an MRI in a week or two.
There ya go…that’s it in a nutshell. Tomorrow I go see my therapist and then we’ll all be hanging out together for Valentine’s Day. Not sure how much of us you’ll actually see. So….Happy Valentine’s Day peoples! ๐
