More of a true Update as opposed to rant

I went to the doctor again today—my primary physician—to discuss the continuation of my symptoms. On a plus side, I have dropped nearly 20 pounds since the last time I saw her, the downside to that is that I am basically starving myself; but it’s by no fault of my own, its not like I’ve turned anorexic or anything. She put me on two new medications to see if they help at all. One is actually used for people with nerve damage, so the idea behind that is to see if it helps with the headaches and allows me to sleep at night. The other is just Prilosect (however you spell it) because I am constantly burping—though, when I don’t burp a lot, I end up vomiting, so we’ll see how that pans out. She had blood work done to check and see if I may have this bacteria thing in my stomach called H.Chalori that might be causing this and she also referred me—marked urgent—to ophthalmology to have them check my eyes and see if that is playing any part in this, considering my vision issues that have cropped up during all of this. She also took x-rays of my neck to see if I have any significant arthritis or something that might be involved. In short, she was being as thorough as she could be to try and help get to the bottom of this. After I see the Ophthalmologist I am supposed to go back to the Neurologist and consult with him again. I also got two shots in my hips for my headache and for the nausea, so my hips are slightly bruised, but I’m a fighter, so I’m trying to push through all of this.

Prayer would be greatly appreciated, as this is not only debilitating, but also frustrating as all get out! I would much rather be at work with the kiddos dealing with elementary school drama, than be stuck at home never really knowing how I am going to be feeling that day.
