Kevin called today to touch base about my digestive issues, joint pain, back pain and of course, the hives. I gave him the low down, including telling him about my little medication strike. Of course, he told me to cut it out. Get back on the meds. You’re going to have an asthma attack. You’re going to start having bronchial spasms. Stop it.
I was ahead of him. I’m back in dopyville.
Kevin had the results of some of the tests NIH did that had to be sent to outside labs. The great news is what ever is wrong, it’s nothing too serious because all the big, bad auto-immune stuff all came back normal. Yeah!
My thyroid, however, is up to no good. I’ve got to get some more tests done at home. Kevin’s got a theory about the problem, but before blogging about it, I want to call some of my family members and ask some questions. It would be another genetic problem. Guess I was swimming in the wrong end of the gene pool up in heaven. Grin – just kidding.
Actually, I’m hoping Kevin’s thoughts are correct because it’s a condition that’s pretty easily treated. I’ve been doing my own research this evening, and I think he’s on to something. It was sort of like reading about Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome for the first time – I’m reading this stuff and thinking, hey, that sounds just like me.
In other news my diarrhea has been much improved, until Saturday. I had a bit of it on Saturday, but then again I ate a salad. Slap me down for trying to be healthy! Groan. Sunday I didn’t have a lot of output, but didn’t eat much either. Yet, what output there was seemed like water. Today the same thing – nothing but water.
I’ve also got hay fever now – you’d think being on Flonaise, Zyrtec, Singular and the occasional Hydrozine (sp?) I would have the allergies under control enough to get out hay fever this year. But, my eyes are all itchy and puffy. I’m sitting here without hives, but itchy, and my nose is running like crazy.
