As I suspected, I am going to be very busy these next few weeks. I have lab work, a thyroid scan, and an upcoming trip to an Ortho. Suspected culprits are:
Rheumatoid Arthritis
A ligament/ tendon condition that causes subluxation of the hip and other joints
And the rest…..
I had never really thought that my double jointed (ness) could cause me any major problems. I have always been able to easily pop my joints in and out. Gross. But I didn’t go all Houdini on them. I don’t know how he did that shit, because it hurts.
That’s just wrong.
Extra added bonus, I have an enlarged thyroid. Finally, something to blame my weight gain on.On a positive note, they did an EKG in the office. All clear. Blood pressure, normal. Where’s my smokes?
The blood work will check for other ailments. I am not giving up butter until I know what my cholesterol is. I realized today that I am no spring chicken. That makes it somewhat more surreal. Maybe this time around, I have something possibly serious wrong with me. Not life threatening, but unpleasant. The doctor gave me something called Mobic, it’s a NSAID. Did you know it can cause bleeding of the stomach? Possibly spontaneous combustion.
I want to know. But another part of me wants to be blissfully unaware.
Keeping my fingers crossed that all is well.
Thank you.
Good luck with it all
Thank you.
Good god woman – you are falling to bits! Seriously I hope that nothing is majorily wrong and that you live to ‘blog’ another day
Don’t think of anything being bad, until you have concrete proof, then we will all deal with that if and when the time comes

Yes, this is all “suspected” not actually diagnosed. Will have to see what happens. Some days I do feel like I am falling apart though..lol

Maybe when you get the blood tests it’ll be like blood letting and all the ails will leave you…maybe? maybe?
Maybe..Was thinking about buying some leeches actually. Seriously though, I will be alright.
You will be alright. Answers are reassuring, even when they aren’t positive. The knowledge will give you more strength.
Very true. To quote G.I Joe…knowing is half the battle.
Oh my goodness!! This may sound overdone and understandably bounce off unhearing ears because I’m sure everybody is saying the same monotonous things – but I SINCERELY empathise with you.
I love reading this blog because you prove that no matter the difficulty, you still manage to keep on smiling and writing with utter hilarious wit. I honestly applaud you.
God bless!
