Ok, so I’ve been promising for days that I was going to let you all know how the Dr. appointment was. For what it’s worth I just haven’t felt like writing. Even now I’m rebelling against it. \ud83d\ude42 In an attempt to figure out what might have been causing me to have bad tremors (mostly in my hands) I randomly stopped taking my meds. First I kinda stopped on the thyroid meds and that did help some but not that much. Then I stopped taking the Depakote thinking that that might help to. Then I just ran out of it. <\/p>\n
Since we weren’t real happy with the primary health care Dr’s I was seeing (they couldn’t remember anything they’d spoken to me about and when they did they told me to talk to my neurologist which he’d told me to ask them) I decided I was going to try and find a new Dr. Someone who’d listen to me, answer my questions, and remember my name. I found a Dr with the help of Daddy’s Mom who lives about a block away. I saw him last Tuesday. He was a very nice guy and stayed at least 20 mins with me answering my questions and getting my information, and he didn’t keep me waiting long. <\/p>\n
The outcome was that he was going to put me on a Beta Blocker to help the tremors and maybe also the headaches. Keep me on Depakote and Prozac. Lower my thyroid until I was stabilized to get a good reading to determine if it was the right level and type of medication. And in the sucky news department, he wanted me OFF the Depo-Provera. I wasn’t real happy about this for several reason. Number one, I forgot how much it sucks to be a girl. Craps, periods, mood, acne! UG! 2 years without all that spoils a girl. Give me menopause any day. The other reason was my instant reaction was to say that this would put an even bigger damper on any sexual activities. It’s hard enough finding time with other people being in the house. But Daddy talked to me about it and waylaid some of my fears about it.<\/p>\n
Since I’d been off the thyroid, I’d worn myself back down to the state I was pretty much in before I’d started taking it. Which means I’m a wreck. I can’t be awake longer then about 2 hours before I’m longing for bed. Tat and Daddy have been pretty nice about it, but Daddy still eggs me on about how I’m gonna be going to sleep soon instead of working. He’s kidding but it still bothers me. I can’t wait until I get caught back up. I forgot how terrible this feels. Not to mention it’s putting me behind on my workouts. <\/p>\n
The Depo-Provera will have one good side effect. It may help with the weight loss but these pimples are killing me. Tat has no sympathy for me cause she use to have problems with acne but she’s all better now damn it…she should care a little :grins:. It feels like every time I turn around I have two more pimples and they are the kind that are deep under the skin that hurt. Daddy told me that I could trade picking my lips (a nasty habit I’m trying to stop) for picking at the pimples. LOL.<\/p>\n
So anyway…there you have it. I haven’t been working as hard on my pushups as I should be but I’m gonna try and get back on that. And I’m gonna try and get back to working out as soon as I can stay awake long enough do a set of exercises. And that’s all she wrote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
