Perhaps more info might have been helpful.
He is at least the fifteenth medical professional to whom I've explained any part of this stupidity. Every time I explain it I feel both stupider and more pathetic. I feel like I'm talking too much, making too big a deal of the whole thing, and being self-indulgent.
I feel more likely to get cut off, or pitied, or just zoned out.
So how do we define "more info"? Until he tells me how he defines it, I just don't have it in me to spout every last detail of almost two months worth of feeling like crap. I don't know what's relevant -- I never did, and I'm rapidly losing what little perspective I ever had.
I get that (based on my own year of living medically). You're asking for help though and that's the first step. I hope you won't need the biofeedback.
My irritation with UPS is so great that even though they employ my brother, I will not use them to ship anymore.
I just sent you an email that will not decrease your irritation, but I also got a lot of people at UPS in trouble, so that is something.
Hi, I'm back.
Things are looking OK. There are two sub-types to my diagnosis. One the prognosis is OK, and one the prognosis is bad to very-bad. I have the OK one.
Also, they shot the dye into my arm. The worse thing about that is my urine will be bright yellow-orange for the next two days.
Oh, and I have a script for steroids. So I expect to hit ten times as many home runs this year as I did last year. Anecdotally, some people say steroids help them (some a lot) and others say they have no effect. I'll only have to take them for a few months, and my dosage isn't that high.
let's all be very careful
I'm home from the car fiasco. Can I whine?
yay for the better news!
due to the diabetes, I can't take steroids. but I can breathe them in. Turn out - the first two - three days I am on them I go through major mood swings - and a lot of rage. Not something I normally feel. I have been told " that doesn't happen" ( because it doesn't really get into the bolood stream) , but it has, twice. So it is something to be aware of
You are most welcome to whine.
My car is going to cost $671 to fix.
that's not a whine - that's an oww! of course, that is what it cost to fix a car...but still ...oww!
