News from the Neurologist

My lab work that I had done last month, came back normal!

What does this mean?? It means that I do NOT have antiphospholipid antibody syndrome! The doctor called me, himself, this morning to talk to me about it. He said that I had one level that was still elevated, but not so elevated that I should worry.

He also told me I can stop taking the low dose aspirin a day that I have been taking since July.
I was very happy with that news. I have an appointment to see him in January. I think I'll be seen every 6 months, and have to have an MRI every year just to monitor the spot.

YAY!!!!!

On the other end of my body....I had my familiar pain at 300 am. Woke me out of a dead sleep. It was awful. I had to dig around for my Lortab. And, joy of joys, it was my last one. I called the GYN today to ask for him to call something in. Surprisingly, the nurse called me right back. She said he doesn't get in until 1100, but that she'd give the message right to him, and call me back, before I leave work today. She said if he is going to give me Lortab or Vicodin...I'll have to go to the office and pick up the prescription. Those are controlled substances, you have to physically pick up the script, and take it to the pharmacy. They can't accept faxes. That's fine by me...I just don't want to caught without any pain meds if this happens again tonight

So, got some really good news today, and look...the sun is shining for the first time since last week!
