Hi My Friends! I have missed you all so much.

I am so sorry that I have stayed away so long. Denver was a waste of time. Neuro said not Migraines. Get lots of rest, quit smoking, and call for an appoinment if you need anything. OK! So dead end. I decided that if Denver did not show anything then I was going to stuff and suppress this thing. I did ok for awhile.

I changed my primary care and Holy Heck! This is the clinical findings.....



High Cholesteral 216

Positive ANA 1:160 speckled pattern (ANA results one week prior 1:40 speckled pattern)

Bone Loss in jaw and spine

THS very high....they think Pituitary Gland (t3 and t4 within normal limits)

So on Wednesday I got my first steroid injection, hurt like heck, but I felt better until today. Head pain is back amoung other things. Demerol has been my friend today.

On Friday I was told that I have an Autoimmune disorder. My new PCP has said it is possible vasculitis. I am not holding my breath. I have a scheduled appointment with the Rheumetologist on November 30, but PCP said she would try to get me in sooner.

So here I am....with somewhat of a DX and I feel so horrible. 3 years later and I probably won't get a difinative dx. I am in limbo..............................

Thanks for caring,
Kim
