Health Problems

I got a referall to another doctor coming up. The doctor that referred me to the Mayo is not on board with their dianosis at all and basically said better luck with someon else.

Got a 1,000 mg infusion of corticosteroids. I had 1,000 each day for 5 days before. But this is incredibly crap at the moment. I kept my blood sugar under control like last time but it's so fucking hot. I went to the office in the shop which has a window unit and turned it on full blast. It's only mid 60's outside but it's hot like August when it's 101F crawling up in the attic to work for a while. If this doesn't pass I'm skipping the infusion today. Same exact thing as before. Last time I felt like I could run a marathon before lunch just to get stretched out. Then after the five days was done after a while I got incredibly stiff. I mean like board stiff, don't don't me I might fall over stiff, and sore.

I had a sed rate test to show how much inflamation. I've had it several times and never showed much. I kinda figured when it feels very bad I don't go in to the doctor or hospital. I haven't got the results yet but the doctor said it was very bad. Said to take more of the stuff I'm already taking.

Doubled my dose of gabapentin. It really helps with the pain but it really leaves you loopy. I mean really loopy. Doctor said after time it will get better, then mentioned upping the dosage again once that happens.

My brother in law started a new infusion deal that is "new". I'm not sure if it's expiremental. It took his insurance a long time to approve it. He has arterial dementia which I had never heard of an apparently was called hardening of the arteries. He's pretty thin, 6'-6 and maybe 230 at most. Genetic maybe. He did develop type 2 diabetes which was not a surprise and I told him forever. He never excercises but he is thing. He bought a bike to get some excercise, nothing fancy just a bike. He made it about 5 feet down the driveway and went over the handlebars and broke his shoulder. That is him to a T.

Anyway once I was at my sisters house and she was finishing up cooking and he got hungry so sitting around waiting he ate a whole box of little debbie snack cakes. Type 2 shouldn't have been a shock.

I asked how much the dementia infusion was costing and nobody knows.
