Neurology appointment today

I went to the Neurologist today.  She has diagnosed me with Dystonia and Fibromyalgia.  Of course I can't have one muscle problem, I do things right-two where I think one exacerbates the other!  On the upside, I get to adjust some of my medications.  We are going to try to take me off of two current medications and add Lyrica for Fibromyalgia.  We're going to see what all is helping and continue that!  I'll go for a follow-up appointment in 3 months.

YEA!  I found some of the books on my list when I went to Half Price Books.  I look forward to finishing another book within Middlemarch so that I can choose one of these hopefully fun books!

Do answers at least feel good? I hope so. Something to pinpoint at least versus the unknown. We will pray for the medication adjustments. Love you!

I don't know that they feel good; it will be nice not to have appointments so frequently though. I don't think that these two problems were what suddenly caused the medical problems. So, we'll be still gathering information about how my body acts through the next several seasons. Really, I've been most grateful for the heart medicine though. The pain that I have now can be managed and dealt with, but the racing heart was so unpredictable, overwhelming, debilitating, and exhausting. Thanks for the prayers; I'll be thrilled if I don't have to pop so many pills!!

Oh, I used my gift card from y'all to get my new books. Thanks!! Good luck your hope of reading 5 books over the next year. I'll let you know if I find any fabulous ones.

Love y'all! Hugs and kisses to everyone!
