I went back to the Dr. today to review my latest round of blood tests. "Big Sigh." I'm telling you, it feels as if they take any more blood I'm going to wilt away and die. Argh! Everything came back normal - surprise, surprise. Yet the Dr. finally admitted that indeed he felt my symptoms warranted further consideration. So often as of late Dr's seem to be treating me as if I'm just nuts. However, finally today, they decided that the most logical explanation was Metabolic Syndrome. Apparently this means that my body produces too much insulin. So after yet another round of blood draws tomorrow a.m. I am to start immediate drug therapy for a syndrome which they only "think" I have. Then in a month if I don't feel better they'll try something else and take yet more blood to compare to the baseline numbers they gather tomorrow.
I know, you're all totally bored now, me too... I just want to feel better. On another good Dr. note, they do think they've discovered the origins of my continuing vertigo. I'm going to go to a balance center on Monday morning to see if they can help me recover from my most recent bout of complete clumsiness.
Goodness knows I'm ready to be done with this. I told the Dr today that I'd try just about anything to see if it works, even if they are only taking shots in the dark. At least they're ruling out most anything that is serious, like MS, Lupus etc... I'm very GRATEFUL for that, although the neurologist is not completely convinced that I don't have MS. "Another big sigh."
Well for now, I'm happy to try yet another new drug in hopes of feeling better. I guess this is why they say they "practice" medicine. Good thing I'm open to being practiced on! HA HA
