Appointment
Sep. 3rd, 2009 11:03 amI have a rheumatology appointment today. 1:15pm. Right now I'm feeling kinda ill. Pretty much remembering how poorly my neurology appointment went. Its not logical, this feeling. I'll go anyway. I feel like I wanna buffer myself from it though. Its not helping anything and really, I'm of the mind that if its not helping, let it go and move on as best as possible.
I believe pain is helping. I don't enjoy it but I do pay attention to it. It means something to me. Either something is up or I've overdone it. In trying to anticipate this I sometimes don't do things I could have done but there is a significant part of me that errs on the side of caution.
The neuro Dr said there was noting wrong with my nerves. And despite this assertion had no explanation why I can't feel heat over half of my back and sensation overall is dulled in many areas. I do not want this to happen again with the appt today. I need to be heard and treated like an adult who will understand the situation as it is explained. I've a good brain and I know anatomy and physiology. I can do this.
I haven't cut my nails in several weeks now. They've gotten to the point that I need to be careful and I haven't had to remember that in two years. I'll cut them off again next week. RIght now they are helping me maintain balance.
