Today I saw Dr. McSherry, a woman urologist who I really like. She seemed very knowledgeable, reasonable, and understanding, but unfortunately couldn't give me a clear diagnosis; Dr. McSherry said that there's just so much going on with me right now that it would be irresponsible for her to dianose me with anything and then referred me to the rheumatologist recommended to me by my mom's friend. She also expressed some concern about the strong history of auto-immune diseases in my family which is what worries me most, too. I really don't want to wind up in a wheel chair like my grandmother, although she was always a very happy person. Whatever's wrong with me, I'm sure I can come to terms with it... once I receive a diagnosis.
I had to move my appointment with the gastrointerologist to next week because I was just too uncomfortable to get out of bed this morning. It seems like I have the most pain at night and in the morning, from roughly six in the evening till between nine and eleven in the morning.
I've been really dizzy all day, since I woke up, and it's only now starting to subside.
When the boyfriend and I were watching Series of Unfortunate Events I thought a little about how dark my Live Journal and physical journal have been for the past two years, since I've been feeling ill. I really can't believe this has gone on for so long and when I do feel well, it's almost like I've never been sick. It makes it really hard for me to keep from feeling a little crazy.
My pies turned out really well, although I overcooked the cherry pie, leaving it a little dry. However, once I get some whipped cream they'll be quickly devoured.
