Some things on my mind

Tweet

Lately I have had a few things on my mind. I might have to do this in a few different posts, because I don’t want to write about the many things bothering me in one long entry. This first entry is going to be about where I have been. I haven’t been that motivated to write. Plus, as some of you know I have many medical issues and it seems as though they keep coming. Right now I feel like I am going insane. I found out that the reason I am always being diagnosed with bronchitis (3-4 times a year) is because I have asthma. Thankfully, I am on 2 inhalers for his issue. The next issues I would like to talk about is a bit scary for me. A few months ago, my hands started going numb. First it only happened at night. I thought that I might have carpal tunnel, because all of my hobbies involved major use of hands. These hobbies things such as writing, sewing, painting and even coloring. I do have a pain specialist for my back pain. They did an MRI, so I am now waiting on that to come back. He did say that it didn’t sound like carpal tunnel, because of where the pain is. I am honestly extremely scared about this. It’s not just pain. There is numbness that feels as though I hit my funny bone. The pain can be on both sides, but lately, it’s mostly on the right side. It really only goes to the left side when I use the left side while my right hand is numb and in pain. The odd thing about all of this is that my headaches I get, are mostly on the left side and all the aches and pains I have, are on my right side. The main reason all of this scares me, is that I am a writer. I have had to take my writing very slowly. I even have issues driving. I am going to ask them to test me for Fibromyalgia, Lupus and R.A. . And this part might sound sad or crazy, but I am at the point where I am hoping they find something, so that I know it isn’t in my head. Anyway, this was just a little update. I will keep you all updated the best I can. Now, I am going to work on the next entry about things on my mind.
