I am really not feeling well, I am so exhausted and overwhelmed, I think that I have to step away from the site for at least a few days. I am just too tired to feel like I can make any comments that would be of any possible use. I saw rheumatologist this morning, she really did not have much to say other than that she thinks I need a pain pump implanted to help with my pain. I find that horrifying so I told her we will talk about it later...MUCH later. I am sure she is worried about prescribing opiates...I get it, I have to investigate pumps and how effective they are. She is talking about dilaudid. I asked her how they will get a catheter between my crooked vertebrae and she said it would have to be a surgical procedure. No...not now, I can't deal with it.
Please do not worry, just understand that my fatigue level is outrageous, my blood pressure is very low, although I don't think that is related. I always have low blood pressure. This was just low even for me...82/40. They kept taking it and I thought my arm was going to fall off.
If you need to reach me, I will try to check PM's every day, I cannot deal with reading much else and I am not even sure I can handle that right now.
Love to all...
Ellen
