No answers for the frustrated weary one, but a slight temporary fix.


I don’t know or if anyone cares or remembers that I was going to ask my internist about the diet that was shown on Dr. Oz Show this past Monday, really a DETOX. She said that ordinarily with a young otherwise healthy obese woman she would say try it, but with me and all my problems and medications she said that I should also get input from my neuro. Just yesterday I had called her office, my neuro, and got my April appointment moved up to about three weeks from now, due to the nurse from Shared Solutions telling me that I should. You see, I have been having difficulty with some words, remembering what they are. I explain what they mean to Hubby and he tells me the actual word. I had called Shared Solutions since they are the support for my MS medication, Copaxone, and I had been forgetting to take it in a timely fashion… I have been taking it anywhere from late morning to nearly bed time, and this is not good. And so I called with the thought perhaps they could give me some ideas on how to remember it and after talking to Mandy the R.N. for quite some time she suggested seeing the doctor much sooner and that she would send me a box to carry my shots with me in here, and suggested an alarm clock, putting that box here and not writing my blog until my shot is done, little ideas like that. She said that perhaps I could go to speech therapy for memory and words…I had no idea that they taught how to remember there too. Back to what today’s internist/doctor came up with my questioning why my 50mcg dose of my thyroid medication was so low and she said with it I am in the normal range, but due to my continuing symptoms and perhaps an itty bitty boost that I should take one and half pills until my next blood work and we will see how that is; if I go hyperthyroid we will have to readjust but she felt we could try this. And so when I got home I cut up four of the pills with Skipper’s pill cuter and took the one half of the spare additional one left and placed the others all in my weekly container. We will see what we will see. Right now I am a bit tired and so allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask the rest of you to count all your blessings and kindly share your overages with you know who and we will too! And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?! PS WOW on the stock market breaking 1400; first time since 2007!
