IT'S BEEN TWO MONTHS SINCE THEY FOUND THE 2.5MM MICRO-ADENOMA ON AN MRI. IT'A BEEN A NIGHTMARE. THE HEADACH IS THERE IN THE BACK OF MY HEAD WHEN AWAKE AND IF I DON'T TAKE THE TRAMADOL MY PCM GAVE ME, IT GETS WORSE AND TURNS INTO A FULL BLOWN MIGRAINE ( NEVER HAD THOSE BEFORE ). I HAVE TO CARE FOR A 3 AND 10 YEAR OLD BOYS AND FIND IT DIFFICULT TO KEEP UP BECAUSE OF THE FATIGUE. I NEVER MAKE IT PAST 9PM NOW...TAKE AMBIEN TO SLEEP. THEY HAVE GIVEN ME VALIUM, NEURONTIN, LAXTIVES FOR THE CONSTIPATION...ETC.ETC. I FEEL HORRIBLE ALL THE TIME, BUT MANAGE TO ALWAYS BE THERE FOR OTHERS. MY HUSBAND IS OVERWHELMED...IT'S AS IF EVERYONE THINKS I'VE LOST IT...HUSBAND IS IN THE MILITARY SO HE IS NEVER HERE AND THE FAMILY IS IN THE NORTH EAST...I AM IN COLORADO...WILL FINALLY, BE SEEING THE ENDOCRINOLOGIST ON THE 28TH OF JULY. IN DENVER AT THE UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL...DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THEY ARE GOOD THERE? I CANNOT TOLERATE SUDDEN LIGHT CHANGES, FLOURECENT LIGHTING, GOING TO THE MOVIES IS HORRIBLE...HAVE TO CLOSE MY EYES...I ALSO HAVE TREMORS OF MY ARMS AND HANDS...THEY SAY THAT IF IT'S PARKINSON'S ( WHICH MY GRANDMOTHER HAD ) THE SAME DRUGS ARE USED FOR THE TUMOR SO, I MAY KILL TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE...I HATE THE SHAKING...IT'S HARD TO WRITE...AND I LOVE TO SCRAPBOOK...I THINK THAT THE DRUGS ARE CALLED DOPOMENAGENIC DRUGS. DO ANY OF YOU HAVE THESE SYMPTOMS TOO? I ALSO HAD A HIGH RHUEMATOID FACTOR AND OSTEO-ARTHRITIS OF THE SPINE/CERVICAL C7 C5 AND C6...SO THE DR'S ARE STUMPED AS TO WHAT SYMPTOMS MATCH TO WHICH DISEASE...I FEEL USELESS AND UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING...TYPE A'S DON'T HANDLE THINGS WELL WHEN THINGS AREN'T GOING SMOOTHLY. I FEEL LIKE A BURDEN TO EVERYONE. CAN'T DRIVE MYSELF ANYWHERE BECAUSE OF THE MEDS. HAVE TO BURDEN OTHERS FOR HELP AROUND THE HOUSE. SIMPLE CHORES ARE HUGE NOW...I JUST DON'T KNOW...I JUST PRAY EVERY DAY FOR SOME CLARITY AND PEACE...I PRAY FOR THAT FOR ALL OF YOU AS WELL. DID ANY OF YOU FEEL LIKE ALL YOUR SUPPOSED FRIENDS DISAPPEARED WHEN YOU TOLD THEM WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU...AND THOSE THAT YOU NEVER GAVE A THOUGHT TO,AS BEING FRIENDS..POPPED OUT OF THE WORDWORK TO HELP...FUNNY HOW LIFE IS...IT'S DEFINATELY BEEN A ROLLERCOASTER AS OF LATE...BLESS YOU ALL AND I TOTALLY AM GRATEFUL FOR ALL THE INFO I'VE BEEN GAINING FROM ALL OF YOU...TAKE CARE AND THANKS FOR LISTENING WHEN IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE ALL ALONE...WE MUST REMEMBER THAT WE ARE NOT.
