Um…. yeah. Its not cancer…but its a LONG ass story…. One which Im too tired to explain right now… I will later….*Sighs*

**EDIT**

The thing is, they dont exactly know WHAT it is. Except I have been hemorrhaging, which explains my recent high numbers… And that I now need to restart, with all NEW drs, and try to get a fresh perspective. We get to start over, with a new Neurologist, a new Hematologist, a new Gyn… and see if we cant figure this thing out. The big worry, is I havent had a period since May, which wouldnt be unusual if I was on birth control, or something along those lines, but I am not, due to my many strokes I have had, and due to my blood thinners…. Which, should leave me bleeding like a stuck pig, to put it midely. LOL.

So, now its a whole new ball game, starting over, trying to figure out why Im bleeding internally, and seeing if we can stop it. I also have PCOS, which has lead to a LOT of weight gain, and various other issues, and so Im contending with that, as well.

Story of my life. LOL… I just dont know what to think anymore. Im so torn. I have had 18+ strokes at this point. Im only 25. This just isnt right.

So, I will let everyone know when we come to a conclusion… but, for now, I know I will need surgery soon, to put a "filter" in my neck, to try and stop clots from going to my brain, and therefore causing another stroke… And, to be honest, I dont seem they going through with it, due to my clotting issues/ blood thinners. Its just one huge mess. A big vicious cycle.

I truly hope the new people can provide a diagnosis for you. There has to be *something* that is causing you to have all these signs & symptoms. You’re in my thoughts & prayers. Love you Mandi. *big hugs*

I never have periods because of my severe PCOS and it gave me a uterine polyp because of it. (because I don’t shed my lining like normal women) So be careful for polyps! *HUGS*

I’m so glad it isn’t cancer. Starting from scratch with new docs may be the best thing. Of course they can still look at your old MRIs and things, but they can make their own judgements. And maybe, just hopefully, there will be a super smart one in the bunch. Love you,

*HUGS*
