Dammit!!!
Seems like every single time I turn around something else has to come along to piss on me!!!
My doctor’s office called this morning. My cholesterol is still too high. I was put on a low dose Statin drug a few months ago – against my will – and it has done NOTHING to lower my LDL. Oh, but the side effects worked just fine! My muscle pain has gotten a whole lot worse!!
Dammit! I knew this would happen! I want to try the Red Yeast Rice for three months to see if it works better – BECAUSE IT DOESN’T HAVE HARMFUL SIDE EFFECTS!!! But, I doubt my doctor will be willing to let me try it.
What’s worse, I was told my platelets are real low, too. What the heck? What is causing that? The meds? A new illness? Can Fibromyalgia cause it? I don’t know and no one will tell me until I see the doctor in TWO WEEKS!!!
I Googled it – something I probably shouldn’t have done – and the first thing that pops up on the screen is LEUKEMIA, LUPUS AND HIV!!!
Of course I’m scared to death, now!! I DON’T NEED THIS!!!!!!
With this news, I doubt very much that my new Vascular Dr. will be willing to do the Ablation Surgery on my legs, too!
Some days I just want to crawl into a damn hole and stay there!!!!
One thing I learned a long time ago – NEVER resort to Google to try and figure anything out! All it does is scare you unnecessarily. 🙁 I am praying for you, sweetie. I’m so sorry you’re having to deal with this! ((BIG HUGS))

I have Fibromyalgia too… it’s the pits. I’m in the middle of a flare right now and my legs are unbelievably painful these days. Take care and thanks for noting my diary!

Drugs “against your will”? What part of “no” didn’t those docs understand?

Never, every google your symptoms. According to Google I was near death dozens of times and even should’ve died by now according to what comes up. things will work out. My diet changes brought my high cholesterol from a 250 to 60 in 3 months at the time. But of course its not in everyone to eat like a rabbit 🙂
