Stalling out

So I was feeling like the lycira was progressively getting better but I think I have reached a plateau.

During the day... I have moments where I am thinking to myself that I feel pretty good but then it gets snatched away with a twitch (usually in my fingers, wrists or ankles).

And I am still waking up with alot of pain in my feet.

The fog is still moderate (but I don't think that lycira is supposed to help with that).

Is this supposed to cause water retention? Cause seriously at night my feet don't look swollen but try and get them into some shoes outside of flip-flops and it is seriously snug. And let me not forget to mention the serious bloat around my mid-section---yeah.. thats loads of fun.

Marking the Difference

So I started this blog as a way to direct those of you on blogger - so that you knew where to go for my regular posting about general struggles with infertility.

And I hope it continues to help me in that way.


I have decided though that maybe I should use this as a place to keep track of my OTHER health issues.

Yup, I suffer from more than infertility.

I have fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Chronic Anemia and I'm going to Docs to figure out why I am shaking for no apparent reason.

I know its kind of odd to have the same name as my main blog but its to keep it all together. If I could figure out how to import posts there would be more here...but I can't so I guess this will be the beginning.

I am in week three of a Lycira trial.

Today I am dizzy, shaky, can't concentrate. I woke up and my feet still hurt.

Ohh I should probably explain that- the absolute worst pain for me is right when I wake up in the morning. I usually feel like I was hit by a tractor and my feet were put in a vice. So the morning that I wake up without that feeling- is when I'll know that this stuff is working.

Today I just feel stupid and slow. I have gotten two phone calls today. Both in reference to these appointments that I have tomorrow and seriously I think they must think I'm some sort of idiot or something. I just couldn't' grasp what they were asking me. The first call was the referral office asking if I had my appointment with neurologist. I was fine with that but then she mentioned the referral letter that I am going to have to bring to the office. I know I got it and I put it somewhere so that I could bring it with me.

So what's the problem?

I have no idea where that somewhere is.

So she said that I could go Online and print it out. So I do, I go through the whole registration process (which was frustrating in and of itself- I forgot my Husbands SSN. That is absolutely ridiculous because I use it for everything military related) and it tells me that I have already registered. So I have no idea about what the user name is much less the password that they require you change ever 150 days. So I called them and the man asked me questions that I should know without even thinking about it. It was really pathetic. Anyway so he basically tell me me that I need to email the webmaster (which I hope he/she understands what I'm askin-- that was a bit repetitive as well). I hope he gets back to me today. Lord only knows with these people. They don't really care I think.

So today is a "bad" day for the Fog and the vision. I have some other problems but that would entirely too much information so I'll keep that to myself.

Ohh I need to make a follow up appointment with my internal medicine. I'm glad I reminded myself LOL.

Anyway that I how I'm feeling today.
