Today I went to the doctor well really, she's a nurse practicionor, but it's so much easier just to say "I went to the doctor" then saying "I want to a nurse practitioner" then you have to explain why you aren't going to a doctor and on and on blah blah blah...
Anyway I was trying to get help for two things: First, I haven't sleep right in far too long for me to remember. All of the sleep meds I've tried (tylenol pm, melotonin, trazodone) have not worked. So she put me on ambien. She told me to cut it in half, and then take it about an hour before I went to bed. So I did, and guess what happened. NOTHING! As you can see I did not sleep, and once again I'm up on the computer talking to you people. GRR
The other thing she was trying to help with is this excessive sweating I have going on here. Well here's the thing, everything that she told me it might be she can't help with. It could be early menopause, but there's nothing but hormone replacement for that, and well, I'm much too young. She said that it could be a "shread" of manic depression, but frankly I don't agree with her. I don't know maybe she's right, but the point is you can't do much for that either.
I just think that all of this is the RSD. She might agree but she has to rule out other things first. So she told me to get an ultrasound of my pelvis. This included the nurse having to stick the ultrasound up my (insert answer here). Not very far, but far enough to be uncomfortable. Well it was normal, as I thought it would be.
My point in writing this is this: I need to be ok with the fact that the RSD is going to do things to do me that don't make sense and are going to suck (such as the sweating). Maybe that's a good thing, then at least I know there is nothing wrong with me on top of the RSD. I've got enough to deal with just with the RSD.
Well I think I am finally tired (here at 4:39 in the morning) so I'm going to go to sleep. Thanks for listening!
