Too early for celebration?
| Tue, 08-22-2006 - 10:11pm |
Well, I had my apt today. The neurologist said he's strongly leaning twords Fibromyalgia and it looks as though I may have just caught Lupus at the very begining. We will continue testing for Lupus each year, including MRI, lumbar, and blood tests. I have 2-3 tests that have been raising slowly in the past year and a half. I will post more later, but that's what's going on so far. Oh, I'm on Topamax now and will be refered to a rhuma something, can't remember the name, LOL.

As you can see, everything is going up. I will have to do some research to see what they are exactly, but that's what's going on.

Hi Cassie,
I guess, piece by piece, your doctors are starting to get to the bottom of what is going on with you.
