Hitting a dead end.

That sounds great. A month longer to wait. I'm surprised you got in that quickly. Your mixed emotions on this are very understandable. Seems your dr was thinking the same way as us.

Yeah honestly I'm surprised as well. We live in a very small area surrounded by other small areas, so everyone goes to Iowa City for everything.

I'm not sure what tests they will run when I go up or how soon they will start testing, but at least there was not a brick wall. I was really hoping I would have better luck with seeing my PCP, who is going to have me start physical therapy again. Unfortunately PT won't start again until next week. In the mean time I pace the house when the pain gets bad until it hurts too much to move, then lay back until that's too much, sit up, and just basically wait until bedtime.

Dixie I'm sorry to hear about not being able to have children when you wanted them. Its an odd injustice with how many people don't want kids but do, but I can understand how you feel about it now. This has just started for me and I'm already struggling with keeping my mouth shut, tears at bay, and digging deeper to find the ability to interact with both of them. When the school year first started I easily could sit down and help my 2nd grader study for an hour to two hours every day and keep it interactive to where it wasn't such a chore. I can't do that anymore. I'm having a hard time fighting with both of them to just do the things they are supposed to that I don't need to help them with (room cleaning, ect). I'm trying very hard to turn it around, but just making dinner is hard let alone everything from the beginning of my day to dinner time. I have to psych myself up just to take a shower most days lol. Before my youngest came back from her grandmother's, I spent my morning doing chores then the rest of the day becoming well acquainted with my ceiling (lol) until I picked up my oldest from school. Can't do that anymore. I think its time I break out my sewing again since I can't concentrate enough to draw. And I rant again.. lol Just trying to adjust until I feel I can get back into the normal swing of things again or some proximity of what is acceptable to me.

have you had a tick bite??? do you have any chest pain related to these symptoms. It kind of sounds like Lyme....I haven't read all comments so sorry i'm I repeating. Worth looking into, even though most test are not accurate. Post your symptoms in the Lyme forum, see what they say???

BEst to you
