I got up early this morning and went to Sprouts to load myself up with fruits, veggies and nuts. I felt better just doing that. I'm not hungry though so I haven't really eaten anything today besides some walnuts. Tomorrow I will start juicing again. I also was able to get to the pet store to get food for Bayou. Great accomplishments considering how bad I feel.
I had my phone conference with Dr. Nancy Mullan this morning. She spent about 25 minutes with me. She suggested some testing and finding a doctor who can help me. I'd hate to not see Shellie but I do need someone who can actually do something besides order tests. One of the tests Dr. Mullan suggested was a Lyme Disease test by IGeneX labs. I contacted them today and they are sending me a kit in the mail tomorrow. I was treated for Lyme Disease about 25 years ago. I was on an antibiotic for a while but then never really followed up on it. I hope Shellie will humor me and have blood drawn for the test. If she doesn't I don't know what I will do. Dr. Mullan also said I should get a serum Lithium test done. I'll ask Shellie about that and the FT3, RT3 and TgAB thyroid tests. I've already been looking for doctors who treat alternatively. I found a couple here in town who both take my insurance. I need someone like Shellie who will work with me but can then know what to do to treat me. I'm just kind of tired of the whole thing today. I don't want to give up because I have to feel better but I'm just too exhausted to keep up this mental pace.
At least I got to the store today.
