I’m going to give a little ring to the neurologist next week, not because this is taking unexpectedly long (I mean, they’re going through everything, discussing what the local neurologist thinks, what they think in light of it all at MGH, and then suggesting tests and forging plans ahead — I mean, I know they [...]

I remembered yesterday that last year (January of 2009) we had tried to wiggle me in to Mass General’s neuro people. Now I understand why we ended up saying screw it, we’ll go to another hospital in town (yes, even my sweet GP said it)… It is one really interconnected organizational structure of clinics and [...]

I meant to post yesterday, and then y’know, I went online and there were these shiny things and I had to click on them and suddenly I didn’t have the energy. (No, the playable Google Pac-Man logo had nothing to do with it. Honest.) I am damn sure I didn’t make too much sense on [...]

So after the sweet GP saw me, she sent me off to get myself magnetized in the giant picture taking tube of magnets. I went for a double load of fun with an MRI and MRAs of my head and neck (arteries, nothing scarier than seeing a disembodied carotid or two hanging there on a [...]

Because either the website will flub up, or maybe I’ll be tossing my cookies. (Heh, British slang is awesome by the way — tossers, scrubbers, wankers….) I finally got to see my sweet and very awesome GP today. I am glad. Cause… computer use is making me feel queasy (again) and I’m just not right. [...]

So we turn up at the sweet GP’s office, and… um… my appointment was apparently set for next Thursday. So either Mr. Shoe scheduled it last Friday and the office chick didn’t realize she was already working off next week’s schedule, so she just said “next Thursday” or Mr. Shoe missed the “May 20th” qualifier. [...]

Heh, I happened to read the post the other day and realized that I made no damn sense whatsoever.  The good news, though, is that the bizarre external use only MetroGel (if it were internal use, it’d be MetroSexualGel? Sorry, I get punchy when feeling yucky) does seem to be getting a handle on the [...]

So, um, it seems that I had rosacea once (which is basically as descriptive a term as “arthritis” because there are bazillions of sorts and causes and stuff…) and the fact that I no longer get the pimply things with it indicates that it’s burnt out. So the red flaming face is permanent (though it [...]

I got the call late Wednesday that I was seeing the dermatologist’s nurse practitioner in about a month and a half, and she’d get me in from there. The doctor was booked till nearly August. This morning I got a call and (surprise!) I was on the cancellation call list, so I was bumped up [...]

Heh, no, it isn’t. But I called my sweet GP and left a message. I told the reception staff I didn’t want to make an appointment. Of course, when sweet GP called, she said, “I think you should go to the ER just to rule out a stroke. Or you could come in, but I’d [...]
