I've seen more Specialists than Private Practice

I couldn’t count how many doctor, and specialist appointments I have had this year, as there are too many to track or write down. For example: I have seen a ‘Naomi’ doctor, for High Prolactin levels and overactive hormones. I have also seen a ‘Pete’ doctor for millions of tests, a ‘Amelia’ doctor for severe amount of non-specific foci’s found on my MRI scans, and now I have also seen an eye specialist for high pressures in both my eyes that may result in glaucoma later on.

What else can I get thrown my way? Oh yes, I have not been able to work since December last year, as I have been tackling a virus all this time. It has made me get chronic fatigue syndrome and has sucked out all my energy I once had. I also have been suffering from migraine aura, which may be caused from the non-specific foci’s they found on my brain. I am still yet to be hearing back from neurologist, as he has no idea what they are and what causes them. Very worrying I know, but I have to stay positive and know that I will be fine.

In the last 2 months I have been feeling unwell and nauseous so my doctor did some more tests to find out I have an allergy to gluten and dairy. Doing the gluten and dairy free diets has helped me not feel sick but it also means that I have to be careful what I eat, so no takeaways, chemicals or preservatives for me anymore.

Everything finally seemed to be going on track health wise and I even felt ready to look for work again, but last week I have been having arm troubles. This means that I get to see a ‘Pete’ Doctor to help the nerves relax. Apparently I lose my pulse on my left arm when I move it in certain way, which is the reason why my arm’s blood circulation gets cut off when I sleep.

I have been tested for everything and anything so it made me get over my worst fear just like Charlotte’s off Private Practice. That’s right my fear of needles. I may have to lye down when I have a blood test but at least I don’t faint or scream anymore like I used too.
