A couple months ago I went to the doctor for chronic joint discomfort (sometimes pain). My blood work came back mostly normal with the exception of my ANA titer so my doctor referred me to a rheumatologist.
I went to see the specialist a couple weeks ago and he took more blood (and some pee). I got the results back today - basically, I'm normal except for some odd results on a couple of my anti-body tests, which were not indicative of anything specific and in his words "sporadic". The doctor wants to take my blood (and probably pee) again in a couple of weeks and see me ten days later (sometime in late January). At this point, he cannot diagnosis any auto-immune disease.
I guess this just means that I'm getting old. Oddly enough, if I wake up with any joint soreness it goes away if I run.
In other health news I seem to have caught another stomach virus. Not fun - especially with all the yummy eating I should be doing in the next few days.
Here's Cub today playing in the leaves. I'm pretty convinced that our neighbor blew all their leaves into our yard. Their yard has no leaves and the leaves in our yard seemed to have procreated like bunnies overnight.
I might have believe this except for this excerpt from your sketchy blog post: "...basically, I'm normal except for some odd results...."
ReplyDeleteYou aren't normal and no licensed doctor would say that you are. So, I guess the obvious question is: did you find this so-called "Doctor" on ebay like when you buy your discounted poison candy on ebay?
You get what you pay for in this world so if I were you I would start paying full price to go to real medical doctors who work in actual hospitals (not magic fairy hospitals) and don't advertise via email spam. Note that if you get an email offering free Cialis or Viagra that doesn't mean that an actual doctor sent that to you....in fact this brings up another point: don't buy drugs on the internet either. Chances are they are fake.
I swear you get scammed about once a week in some way or the other. I wonder if we could get a specialist to implant a microchip in you so that I could just control the places you go (fake doctors offices) remotely because I have to be honest with you, trying to manage your life is really exhausting and I can barely find time to write these suggestions for you in between working with clients, watching TV, washing my dogs, and playing various educational games on Facebook. Not to mention my occasional visits with Cash (aka: food fighting ninja child who threw those yogurt bites on my cashmere sweater) which always leave me physically exhausted.
I need a freaking vacation.
Your very tired and very smart friend,

PS: Loved my birthday and Christmas presents. Very creative gift giving: I didn't know you could create jewelry out of rocks, glitter, tinfoil, and what I assume are clumps of hair from your cats. Really lovely - you should consider selling your pieces on the internet to pay for your real doctors visits. I think the URL could be: www.dirtyshinyjewelry.com
Oh crap. Jonathan just pointed out to me that the PS in this could be construed as making fun of the actual gifts you gave me. Not my intent at all. Love the earrings and in fact wore them to lunch today. I was making up a fake scenario and didn't even consider that it could be interpreted as a real insult. As usual I am joking around and I LOVE the real gifts you gave me and not the fake ones that I just made up that you didn't give me. But, to be fair I could totally see you making jewelry out of rocks, glitter, tinfoil and pet hair...I mean, seriously, that kind of thing is totally up your alley.
