In like 2 years when I have a period again, I need to try the diva cup thing.
I'm back at work and just finished sorting through all my emails. Ugh. Yesterday H and I both took off work. We had a sonogram and then went to lunch, the grocery store and then took a nap before we picked up A from daycare. It was an awesome day.
I had x-rays taken of my neck the other day after a physical. I told my doctor I was having some numbness in my hands and spots on my legs and not able to shake these terrible headaches. The x-rays all came back looking good, so he is referring me to a neurologist. During the appointment he mentioned the numbness along side with a MS diagnosis. He said he didn't want to diagnosis me and not to jump to that, but the numbness is an early indicator of development.
HOW can I possibly not worry about this. Among the other things going on in my life this is kind of a big blow. I'm hoping that going to a neurologist will at least help me get to the bottom of my headaches, although I'm terrified of having another MRI.
doglove weekday scares you about the MRI? I hope you're able to get some answers and I can imagine how hard it is to hear MS as s possibility and then to try not to worry about it. Hugs and good wishes for you lady!
Oh doglove! I hope it's nothing. I wish that doctor wouldn't have said anything if he didn't want you to worry!
It's not really a big deal and to be honest, I had been thinking about it already because the numbness is weird and not normal. When I go to shave my leg the outside of my left leg near my ankle is totally numb to the touch. My hands go numb often too and it seems to be progressively getting more and more noticeable. I'm at least glad the doctor thought it was a big enough red flag to send me to further testing though.

When I got an MRI for my knee two years ago they said it was no big deal and I went on my own. I drove myself and they put me in up to my neck and I am claustrophobic and freaked the eff out. They asked me not to move, but I had so much anxiety and they couldn't give me a muscle relaxer because I had to drive myself home. It was awful. I can't imagine what it would be like to go all the way in with my head. I know I would need drugs and H said he would come with me so I wasn't alone, but yikes. I hope they have some powerful drugs to help me.

I hope they can give you something too. I also hope they have newer equipment so you can get an open MRI. I hated the closed tube too and used happy/safe place visualization to get myself through it without freaking out. When I had to get the MRIs for my sinuses luckily they had new machines.
tiramisu that would be so great - I had no idea they had open machines. I think it will at least be good to talk to someone who can help me with my headaches. My GP just keeps giving me different meds (none are migraine meds) to throw at them and it's not figuring out WHY I am getting them. I know stress and food play a big factor, but I'd like to get to the bottom of them.

ETA: I have a funny if anyone is interested. STBX offered to bring my tv over and hang it for me, so I took him up on the offer. He was over last Saturday morning doing that. While he was there, his phone rang and he answered it. Remember... Saturday morning, no tv, apartment in a field... it was really quiet in there. And his phone is really, really loud. I could plainly hear a lot of honeys and babys, and are we still going out tonight, are you still at HER place, call me when you leave, and a love you at the end. I just sat there chuckling. He avoided looking at me and said it was my mom. Um... no. Good try. I know my mom's voice and that wasn't it. Not to mention, my mother wouldn't be having that type of conversation with my STBX. Good grief.
Hugs, doglove. That is scary stuff. But they have to look at ALL possibilities, from a strained muscle to MS, etc. so try not to worry just yet. Easier said than done.
I'm supposed to have my big HR lunch meeting today where I want to bring up the possibility of other HR work in the company. But there is a chance it will be rescheduled and I just want to do it and get going!
Right? I really don't care if he has a girlfriend. Seriously. Don't care. It's obvious that he wanted the divorce as much as me, he was just too comfortable to do it. I checked out of the marriage years ago, so really, it's all good. I mean, I'm going out on dates too. But...
It tweaks my melon that he's still playing up the heartbroken husband sob story to everyone we know when in actuality he's over it and has a girlfriend.
And I'm a slightly irritated that it's someone I work with. Dude, find a new dating pool. You don't work here anymore. Branch out a little.

Oh ew! I swear, these "men" have no idea how to be alone. Ick.
