I'm 36.
I didn't have to have an ovary out, thank God.
I had the night sweats before surgery too, when I still had the cysts, my fallopian tubes, and was on birth control… the symptoms are the same now that I'm off the birth control and don't have the cysts or my tubes.
I've had 2 regular periods without breakthrough bleeding now that the cysts are gone and I'm not taking birth control… so I don't think hormones are the problem.

An hour and a half after I had called my neuro's office to ask them to re-fax the order for the MRI, I called to make sure registration had received it, but of course they had not. I called my neuro's office back to ask them to re-fax it again and spoke to a secretary who sounded competent, so I didn't call registration back to check on it. So, I'm waiting for them to call and schedule me…

I found out that my neuro only ordered an MRI of my brain, and I'm not happy about it because 1) I would have liked to see what MS has done to my spinal cord in the last 2 years 2) I would have liked to see what the discs in my neck look like now and 3) if he decides later he wants to look and my spinal cord, or I have to go to an ortho for my neck and he wants and MRI, I'll have to pay another $250 copay. I should have asked him about it at the appointment, but I didn't, and it's a little late in the game to ask him to rewrite the order.

I made an appointment with my PCP about the night sweats, will let him know about my other symptoms, and let him figure it out. I had asked my neuro to run my thyroid level because I'm due anyway, and my PCP will have access to the results of that test. The appointment is at 3:15… bad time of day for me.

I went grocery shopping yesterday, but probably should not have. At least it's done and I don't have to worry about it for another week or so.
I'm doing laundry now. 2 loads. It will take care of all the clothing, but I still need to wash a set of towels, a set of new sheets, and that quilt Buddy puked on. I have plans to wash all of that at the laundromat sometime when I feel up to it.
