A quick update for those who care...still unemployed, & still battling a lot of pain...which makes it impossible for me enjoy my time here. There is some good news, (no, I didn't save a bunch of money by switching to GEICO!) just got the results of my lastest blood work, & my diabetes is under control (A1C was 4.5, fellow diabetics know that's good), my cholesteral is 145 (after a breakfast of bacon & eggs no less), liver checks out ok, & "seds rate"(?) shows no major inflamation...so the bad news? over 6 months, a half dozen different docs, & I have no idea why I'm in pain & fatigued all the time, & no relief in sight...I'm terribly frustrated, been thru lots of tests, inc. a cystoscopy (guys who know what that is are crossing their legs or squirming in their seats now...you don't wanna know), so much blood work I feel like I've been down Vampire Alley...even resorting to seeing an accupuncturist, a whole 'nother experience...not sleeping well at night cuz of the pain, & I'm really cranky all the time...doesn't take much to set me off when I hurt all over...so anyways, that's my story for now, hope to have better news soon, I miss you all...
