Mystery Diagnosis

Well, I have no diagnosis. A few leads but nothing yet. It's not neurological. However, I do show signs of MS so I need to see a neurologist once a year. The few leads they got were the major one that they think and that is that I have Cushing's Syndrome. That is when there is a small tumor on your pituitary gland that is producing too much of the hormone cortisol. As a result, you gain in you central area, have joint pain and a lot of other symptoms that I have. So that's te biggest one. There were a few others like a virus that leaked into my nervous system, possibly a different muscle disorder, and a pinched nerve. I have more appointments on the 24th of March with a cardiologist and the Spine center. It is a possibility I might have a chronic pain condition and will have to see pain specialist and get shots for the rest of my life. I'm getting a tilt table test and MRIs on my brain and spine. I'm hopeful something will come out of this but terrified nothing will. Anyways, I'm dead tired so I'm going to take a nap.

I'm going to see Movin' Out tonight! It's here at school and Mara and I got tickets =]] (It's a play with Billy Joel songs) My next blog will most likely be about that

OH AND AND AND...I got an A on my Political Theory Midterm! It's a really hard class so I'm so happy I did well. I got a B+ and missed and A- by half a point on my Geography midterm and I got 100 percent on my Art Histpry term paper =] I have another mid-term tomorrow in English and I have NO IDEA what to expect for it.
