FYI to my myLot friends regarding doctor visit for fatigue and fibro

Tweet

I was gratified that once again my doctor really listened to what I said. [My spouse went with me to be sure I didn't minimize my symptoms.] She reminded me that there really wasn't a treatment for fatigue, per se, but we could address the things that support the fatigue. She ordered a sleep study to see if my apnea has worsened and had blood drawn to check my liver enzymes. I requested a B12 shot, since in the past it had helped, and she was happy to comply. We discussed new medications for the pain. I decided to make a decision about pain meds after the results of the sleep study, in case there is a change of medication for that. And on the way home we stopped at the grocery store so my spouse could buy some salad from the salad bar so I could have fresh veggies without having to prep them. I am well loved, aren't I? I am so grateful for that. So I'm hopeful that I will begin feeling better very soon. I really appreciate myLot for its "sounding board" qualities. It helped me identify things that I needed to address - like the fresh veggies I'd been neglecting - and gave me the feeling of a network of support from my new myLot friends. I'm grateful for that, too.
