Medical (MS and other)

Ok, my wife and I decided to quit smoking (yay). I have not bought a pack in over 2 weeks, but I do have one or 2 everyday. That soon will quit too. Wish me luck with that.

Monday I go in to get my result from my stomach biopsy, then I wont have to see that dumb ass GI again (moron)

Thats about it for now, just been really busy with work and finding extra money to pay bills 😛

Oh and my hernia is still hurting.

first off, my GI doctor is the BIGGEST tool sum’bitch on the face of the planet. I can’t wait to not see him anymore.

Anywho, what I have is esophogitis. He took a sample for a biopsy to see what is causing it. Typically its acid backup in stomach and esophagus cause from pills or stress or other things.

Guess we’ll see.

I need to start writing poems and songs again to release some of this stress.

Well, last Saturday, the 29th, was my 1 year diagnosis. To celebrate, I havent taken my meds in about 2 weeks BWAA HAHAHAHA. Ok, so maybe I’ve just keep forgetting, but whatever. My legs are pissed off because of it so I think I should get back on schedule.

Finally getting my gate for my driveway and can let my dog out without supervision. Sweet. My deck is done too besides the rails, but that probably won’t get done till spring.

Wednesday I will be in the hopital for a GI scope. MAYBE I can finally figure out what is wrong. We shall see.

Ok, so yea, got a dog. So far, ate 3 of Robbi’s shoes and destroyed my couch which I had to buy another one, which is nice, but $2000 I didnt want to spend. It now lives in a cage unless I’m home, which it was trained to do in school, but whatever.

I called my doctor yesterday to get an update on if he got my biliary scan results and all he said was, “Yea, you need to come in so we can review the test and decide where to go next.”

The original plan was if the test was fine I wouldn’t come in and he would just schedule another test. The fact that he wants me in tells me he found something, but from the tone of voice doesnt sound good.

We will see.

I had my nuclear biliary scan today on my gall bladder. Well, basically they injected me with an enzyme that triggers injestion. INSTANTLY my stomach pain came to.

May not be gall bladder itself, but definately something wrong with my digestive system.

Ok, since my last post, my life has done a 180 (hence the Tony Hawk referance). Lets start with the depression thing…

It wasn’t depression…it was apparently being overworked. Ever since I lost my weekend job and I actually have weekends for the first time in 2+ years, I’ve been really happy, and my wife now understands that now too. What we have decided is that until I find another way to bring in extra income, she will work weekend overtime when she feels like it and it will pay more for her getting time and a half than me working 16 hours over the weekend cooking. I don’t want to put this burden on her, but it is all voluntary. If she doesnt want to go in, she doesn’t have to which is great.

What I would like to do is get my computer building hobby a bit more seriousness and start advertising. I would enjoy it immencly and get to do it from home.

My GI…nothing came up in my ultrasound in my stomach, but they found a few cists in my kidneys which alot of people have and they don’t hurt anything. I’m anticipating more blood work to be done to find out more.

Other than that, everything else is going pretty well. MS has been mild lately, besides the occational numbness of course, but things are starting to look back up again.

/sigh-of-relief

Well, I haven’t gone to a GI yet, but my stomach has been pretty decent the past few days. I guess nothing a few beers and a few shots of 1800 can’t fix. 🙂

Also, I came to grips yesterday with the fact that I may be developing a case of depression. Well, my wife and I had some serious talks about certain things last night (she hasn’t been too good lately either) and all in all, me and her had an AMAZING night last night just being together. So, all of a sudden, I feel the best I’ve felt in months, as does she.

I’m so fortunate to be with her, and I’ve came to my conclusion…

Robbi is my anti-drug.

If you are reading, baby, I love you 😡

Last night I took my Avonex, and the second I began injection, I felt myself getting cold…I know I was in for a long night. Within an hour, on comes the flu side effects. I was shivering like it was -20 degrees outside, I had to sleep with 2 shirts, 2 sweaters, socks, and sweats and STILL was cold. THEN I wake up this morning and my head is pounding worse then it ever has in my life. I was supposed to work this morning at the restaraunt, but had to call off. I still have the headache now, but not as bad.

I didnt take any of my prefentive pills last night either because of my stomach. Lose lose situation. At least I can watch the Lions game. OH THE LIONS GAME…SHIT GOTTA GO.

ok, no I didnt get a GI doc yet, but wouldnt that be sweet if his name is Joe?

Anyway, called my neurologist, and said its probably not the Naprosyn irritating me because I only take it one pill a week. I’m going to go to one anyway.

My neuro is out of a different hospital than I want, so I’m going to get a referal from my surgeon.

We’ll see.
