R E L I E F? Is that how you spell no more pain??

Relief?

Not yet... I honestly think it might be time to take me out back.

Yesterday I went to the Neurologist. As I waited in the waiting room there was an old couple rustling papers, a chatty cathy that didn't know how the hell to shut up, a lady reading a book and a really weird chic that kept staring at me. She finally said that she liked my flip flops. Then she said she liked my shirt. Then she said I was pretty. (In the words of my children... AWKWARD!) Do you know the best part of the waiting room?? The loudest ticking clock on the planet. Part of me wanted to pull the clock off the wall and hit the weird chic in the head with it.... I did refrain..... this time.

Are you wondering about the MRI?? My fucking doctor didn't send the film over like he said he was going to do so we didn't get to discuss that too much.
She asked if they did an MRI on my neck as well as my head and I said no. She asked if I had complained about my neck and I said YES. She took a deep sigh and said she wanted me to get it xray'd because she felt something in my neck. I did that today and I wish I could read xrays because these pictures are pretty cool.

She also saw that my bloodwork showed extremely low levels of vitamin B12 and vitamin D. Yeah the bloodwork that was done a month ago that my fucking doctor didn't bother to call in prescriptions for. On top of everything else my blood pressure was way high today (138/101) and I am normally 118/78. I did end up with a shot in my neck (that hurt like hell!) that brought me minimal relief for about 30 min yesterday afternoon. She did say that I handled the shot very well. She said in her India accent "Most of my patients jump off the table during this so you are doing very well!" I told her that I didn't think that would be a good idea since she had a big ass needle in my neck. That made her laugh! :)

Oh the abnormalities?? Yeah turns out they are lesions that might show ms but we wont know that for sure until my follow up appt in 3 weeks or when/if I come in to discuss my xray findings. You can be sure that if they call me to come in to talk about the xrays I will have those damn MRI films IN MY HAND!

I came home with 6 prescriptions and I woke up this morning feeling MUCH MUCH better.
Are my headaches gone?
No
Are they bearable?
Yes
In fact I didn't cry one time today while the kids were in school so I feel like I have already gotten better.

The bummer part is that I get to give myself shots again to help my B12 deficiency. (SHIT! I thought I was done with that crap when I stopped fertility!)
