1. Medical Stuff:

• 3 Days of Home Rehab.
• I picked up my new glasses. Bad news…they are still making me sick. What the heck?! I have never had this problem before. I will be making a call on Monday.
• I had my 6 month dental cleaning. 33 and still no cavities!
• I went to U of M on Tuesday to see my GI doc who specializes in Gastroparesis. I am managing fairly well, so he rewrote my Domperidone script (I only take it for flares), and we discussed going Gluten Free for a month to see how I feel. He busted out laughing when I blurted, “BUT I’M ITALIAN.” We talked about how it really is not that daunting, and we both came to the conclusion that it would be worth a month of trying.
• Stupid, stupid, POTS induced insomnia. I don’t have time for no sleep!

1. Medical Stuff:

• I had to cancel PT on Monday. I felt sick after school, and was worried about driving.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• I saw my shrink on Tuesday. It was a needed appointment to talk meds, and figure out how to cope with this latest flare. Love him.
• I still had a week of struggling with POTS, and therefore sleep. I started a new med, and am really, really, REALLY looking forward to feeling like my body is somewhat cooperating with me again.

I spent the day at the University of Toledo to see the wonderful Dr. Bev for my 6 months POTS check-up.

We drove 2 hours.  Waited 2 hours.  Saw Bev for 25 minutes.  And drove home 2 hours.

Usually I see Bev or Dr. Grubb for over an hour,

1.  Medical Stuff:

• GI follow-up at U of M.  I am going to try and up the Domperidone to see if my symptoms improve.
• Appointment with Dr. Rosen.  Theme: Adapting my life
• Started Midodrine for POTS.

Where has this week gone?  Better yet, where has May gone?  I was just looking through my last couple posts, and realized last Thursday’s was not the happiest of posts.  And since, I am lacking the energy to blog about the other topics I want to blog about, I decided to recap my day; which happens to be a tad bit more uplifting than last week.

First of all, I did not get sick on any exercise equipment.  That in itself is a small victory.
