Dear Kay,
That's a long day. How often do you have to drive to the big city for treatments?

They took a bunch of my blood to test CBS, liver and thyroid functions, vit.D, etc. They'll let me know if anything comes back sketchy.
I don't want to sound like a nudnik but don't take the office's word for it. Call and check. Especially check vit D. What the labs consider normal range is low. My hubby and I go to the same mdoc. I came out low on Vit D and she put me on 2000 IU of D3 a day. Hubby came out very low normal (3 points from me) and the mdoc said it was fine.
I bought vit D for the both of us.


I hope that the PCP can help you in case you have an infection.

Loosing a career is hard. How long ago did you leave it?

I think that thinking about not having children is hard when you are already depressed. Depression makes everything dark and deep.


Please be ok.
Let your husband continue to help you.

I have to go once a month to Boston for treatments, but I have 3 doctors there and have occasional appointments. Sometimes I have to drive there for MRIs too.

My neurologist is very big on B12 and vitD levels.
I gave myself B12 shots for years, but can't do injections anymore. I take 5,000iu 3xweek of methyl-B12 sublingual tablets. You pee out the excess anyways.
She had me at 50,000iu once a week by script. The script stuff isn't really D3- it's ALL D2. So, I get it OTC in D3 form. I have to take less now. Only 2,500iu 2xweek.

I got the results of my labs yesterday. All was in the normal range (slightly anemic is normal for me). The only results I didn't get were the liver functions.

I got my combo flu shot yesterday. My husband had a cold a few days before, and I started feeling the effects. I have an appt. with the NP today about the tonsil thing anyways. The cold is inconvenient and uncomfortable, but I'm really not worried about it.

I had to stop working September of 08 (I was pretty much run out of my job and went through the EEO complaint process). I tried to work again in December of the same year, but barely made it a month. I'm on SSDI and they found me disabled back to Sept 08.

My husband hasn't been very supportive. I was so happy he was there for me the other night.

Thank You and (((HUGS)))
Kay
