be healthy

My bloodwork is no longer showing liver damage. Therefore, what showed up in the hospital a while back was more than likely Tylenol toxicity. I stopped taking anything with T a few days after that episode. Also, the MRI showed no sign of bleeding in the brain. What I experienced was a warning, not a full fledged stroke. My blood pressure however, has been fluctuating and has been high,(For me. My normal is quite low.), on a few occasions. So, the Doc wants me to start monitoring that. I also have to take an aspirin a day. I’ve quit taking the hormones. This ‘warning’ came soon after I started taking them. And the numbness in my forehead should go away eventually. Something DID rupture. He thinks it was a neurotransmitter, or something of the sort. So I guess I’m a lucky woman. It could have been much, much worse.

Right now, this goal seems impossible. I’ve been physically sick for months. Went back to see the Doc. yesterday. He’s ordering an MRI for my head, and they took more blood to check for Lupus and liver damage. To top it all off, I’ve fallen into a deep depression, which, for those pf you that have been there, is crippling. The main reason for the depression is my health, or lack thereof. And doctors now don’t have the time to sit with you and just talk about things that might make you feel better. They write out prescriptions, tell you to “Try this”, and before you can open your mouth to speak, they’ve already moved on to the next patient. The world seems such a hopeless place these days…

I think I may have had a mini stroke a couple weeks ago. Out of the blue I had this stabbing pain in my head that ended as quickly as it started. Then, a very dull headache ensued on and off for the rest of the day. Same thing happened the next day, and the day after that. X-mas was only a few days away and I thought it was just stress. But since then, I’ve had a spot maybe the size of a quarter in the middle of my forehead that almost feels like I’ve had a shot of novocaine. It;s driving me mad. I’ll have to make an appointment to see Doc. I hope I’m wrong.

I’m beginning to wonder if this will ever happen.
