Dr. Appointments

Aiden went in yesterday to the gastro Dr, and they called me in the afternoon to tell me that he has stool all the way into his colon. We are going to start stool softeners and re-check it in a month. I went in to the neurologist this morning for a follow-up, and he said my diagnosis was paroxysmal hemicrania. I know... what is this?? Here's one page I found about it

I will be taking a medication 2x a day to see if the symptoms resolved. The next two things he said were very ironic. He said from the MRI he could see that my neck was backwards. He said that was probably causing the muscle spasms because of the tension on the muscles. And that is what I'm already going to the chiropractor for! He said that was good! He also said my blood work came back as AA which means I have rheumatoid issues, such as arthritis. I have had leg pain for years, and most recently started having pain in my forearms and hands. I told Doyle this a few weeks ago when I was leaving for my clinical and he told me to quit being a baby. I thought then that I might have arthritis, but never asked my Dr about it.

Well I take my state board in a few days, so I vow not to worry about housework til I pass thing dang thing!!! I DO NOT want to have to re-take it!! and pay $85 again!! haha
