I have a feeling I will need to take some Prednisone soon. I am waking lately with pain. During the day it's not too bad. It's August too... I've got finger nails....and I will probably have to start back on the Methoxrate shots. I need something to help with the coming fall pain. Fall and into winter is the hardest on the pain.
I wonder if the Metho caused the crushing chest pain? Have to look that up. I know it's not the thyroid meds. At first I was wondering if that was it but the chest pain started in December last year, before Christmas, and I started taking the new thyroid meds Jan 19 2018. So that's not the case. I wish I knew what was causing it.
I was cutting the grass last night at 830pm, and I had to stop 3 times because of the crushing pain. I use to be able to get the grass cut in one shot with some pain. It feels like the pain in the chest is getting worse.
I went to the semi-lung person at the clinic. She did a few tests with and without puffers. It was a bit better with the puffer, so she said to use it if I felt I needed it. And she is going to tell the NP Gabby to send me for a full lung test at the hospital. She also is suggesting I go to re-check sleep apnea. I use to have that years ago, but a few years ago they said I didn't need the machine. AJ says I am stopping breathing some times at night - not often tho.
Personally I still don't think it's my lungs inside. Might be my heart, but not sure about that - my heart does race like crazy when the pain is bad, but I think it's something squeezing my lungs/heart/up to throat/into stomach from the outside of the organs. It could be the costochondritis, but I wonder if there's more to it. Lung person (I cant remember what her title is!!) said if the lung reports come back clear, and heart is checked, they should look at what else is happening - as in CT/MRI scan. Even the oncologist suggested that in his report to NP. I wonder if she will follow up....we don't get along. She hasn't been willing to send me for a heart check. I will have to follow up with that as the onocol report says he was referring me....and nothing yet. Will give it a few more weeks then call his secretary.
Really fatigued lately too. I wish I knew what was going on..... sigh.
Oh, the dropping acid you ask??? Yeah, just thought it would be a good title.... but I will add a few photos of acid droppings for you!
Humm... that last one looks like one of my paintings...... will post some tomorrow's Sunday on Krystal's Colours. Ugh, I know flimsy plug ha ha ha.
