We spent the day running around to drs appointments, one for me and one for Boaz. The good news, Boaz is healthy and his ear infection is gone. (despite the fact he’s been pulling on both ears for a week now, that’s how I knew he had the ear infection to begin with, dr said looks like he’s discovered his ears, geez the money we pay drs for the simple things) No bad news per se about my appointment, I’ve gained almost 10 lbs in a month, which I really had some but little control over. It hit me hard, seeing that number on the scale, especially after losing so much weight so quickly. yes I know it’s easy to rebound but it’s a lot harder to control your weight when you’re dealing with an autoimmune disease that screws up your metabolish. I knew a sign of my thyroid going to the other extreme was weight gain but I wasnt prepared for it yet or so much so quickly. I’m determined to fight back(w/ exercise), but was hoping to at least get a dx for the tingling problem first.
I dont have another appt for that, my neurological stuff, til next Wednesday so I’m still deciding if I’ll work out between now and then to see how I feel and risk making things worse or just eat little to nothing in the next week to try to keep the lbs off as much as I can control with this condition. The dr today still is sticking w/ the weight(pun on words of course) and see method of treatment since my thryoid really isnt treatable yet as the levels keep flucutating too much. So I go back for blood work in a while, or sooner if my symptoms get worse. I dont mind really the waiting to treat the thyroid, it’s the unknown neuro. symptoms that are freaking me out. Dean’s got me all stressed about possibly having MS and I wont talk to the neurologist til next week so until then I just wait and worry. I know I’ve been tested for this in the past but I dont know if it’s something you can develop pver time or if I’d need another spinal tap to check again for it. The other option is still nerve damage and the dr today thinks that is what it is but he’s not treating that so I have to wait. It’s so frustrating. I’m sure no matter what it is is life threatening as i’ve been feeling this way for at least 2 months now but it’s still scary to feel like this every day and not know what is going on.
As we speak my boys, all 3, are asleep on one couch. Bo barely slept at all today and Caleb had no nap and well dean never gets a nap so they all just crashed while cuddling, it’s so cute. I think I’ll let them stay there as long as they do on their own, it’s too precious and I dont want to wake the sleeping baby! So I’m sitting here w/ Toy Story 2 still playing as the boy was watching it before he feel asleep and surfing the net. I’m about bored though so I think I’ll stop procrastinating and work on the laundry then find something to do, maybe read a book for once…..I know I should enjoy this quiet because I found out a little while ago that I’ll be babysitting the kids tomorrow and Wednesday, which is fine but will keep me busy and tired so it’s kind of nice having this relaxing time this evening so I can at least rest up for the next two days. caleb is thrilled of course to have his friends coming over again this week. It’s good because he wont have preschool anymore so this will keep him busy for a few days this week, and me too!
sorry for the rambling, still procrastinating doing the laundry…oh well, I”ll suck it up and get to work….have a great week!!!
