Another Day
Today I went and had blood drawn, a lot of blood drawn. They took a total of 11 vials of blood from my arm and the bruise already looks bad, I can't wait to see what it will look like tomorrow. I am actually looking forward to a diagnosis. At least at that point I will be able to treat it with medication instead of just suffering through.
One of the many test is a thyroid test. I did some reading about thyroid problems and the symptoms seem to cover a lot of the things that I have been suffering from for a very long time, including depression and lack of motivation. I would be very happy to find out that I have it, it runs in the family too, because I could in theory take a pill and be cured of all these things. The blood test came back negative two years ago, but I read that there is only a 30% accuracy in a blood test for thyroid disorders. However, I have had a sonogram done to see if there is something wrong, which is much more accurate. I'll let you know how that goes.
There isn't much more going on in my life right now besides the dealing with doctors about one thing or another. I do have an interesting problem going on with my mother and I am not sure how to deal with it. It came to my attention that my mother is using my grandmothers name to get herself a telephone. Caller ID is wonderful. There is a long story here but I don't feel like writing it all out. Basically, I called the phone company and they verified that my mother was using my grandmothers name and when I told my grandmother she didn't believe me. I don't know what to do about the problem. I know how bad my mother can ruin her credit like she has her own. Should I confront my mother myself, or should I call my aunt and uncle and have them try to talk some sense into my grandmother? Suggestions would be nice.
BTW, my shrink put all my meds back to what they were a month ago. She said that I was having too many side effects from the sudden changes in everything. I was having trouble sleeping and other problems. I think that she will be giving me a new plan in two weeks when I go see her. We will see what the new cocktail will be, and maybe after a diagnosis of a thyroid problem I may not need the anti-psycotic meds anymore!
