We shall see what the doctor does/says today.

Saw my internist today. Told him of all my symptoms but since he diagnosed me with arthritis in my neck a while back he believes it is a pinched nerve and gave me some muscle relaxers for the spasms in my legs and a few pamphlets about how to combat lower back pain. He also ordered some blood work. So far one test that is for inflammation (sed rate I think) came back normal. With Kaiser blood work results can be accessed through my account on the internet - pretty cool! He wants me to go back to my optometrist and get my eyes checked. I called them today and they wanted to know if I was having any problems because it has only been 1 1/2 years since my last exam. Told them I was having eye pain and they said I should see an opthamologist and that would be covered under my medical. So I will be calling my internist tomorrow and asking for a referral to an opthomologist (I have Kaiser).
I still have a horrible feeling about all of this. Something just 'aint right.
