This week’s weather could not have been more beautiful.  Every single day, sunny and in the 70’s. My children had the week off from school, so they were able to enjoy all of it. Between doctor visits, and trips to CVS, I was running around quite a bit. I think I changed medications 2-3 times this week. Trying to rule out ever last thing they can think of. The most recent try is, MAYBE I have a pinched nerve in my neck, upper spine, which would cause the pain to radiate to my chest, causing the burning.  Sounded plausible. So off all prior medication, onto a new nerve pain drug. Now it wont eliminate the problem, but if it works at killing the pain, then off to the neurologist. Oh, and you are warned it may cause drowsiness, so take at night. I have taken it for two nights, and each morning I wake, no hangover feeling( a doctor asked me this) but pain in my neck and now burning in my upper back.. Today the worst pain in my neck ever. So I have to follow up with him on Monday, but maybe, just maybe, we are getting somewhere. Thank all of you for your support during these hellish 5 weeks. OK, onto my eating……..With the kids home this week, and feeling like crap, we ordered out a lot. So to say the very least, I wasn’t very diligent about my food consumption.  I really do know what I have to do, so, I think on Monday, will power permitting, I am going to do the 2 day carb purge, and get back, where I left off. I have been wearing tank tops and shorts( around the house ONLY) and that in itself is a reminder that I have a ways to go. I’m not completely dis-satisfied, as I have lost 15 lbs ish (fluctuating right now up 3 lbs) and know it can be done with consistent eating.  I will ask the doctor if I can ride the recumbent bike, as it’s leg work. I know very little about back/nerve/disc stuff. If anyone has experienced anything like this, I’m all ears. My morale is good, I am optimistic. With all the doctor visits we have ruled out A LOT of really bad stuff. Having the heart issues cleared was the best news ever. All internal organs checked out fine. SO, although the saga continues, I am feeling it is nearing the end towards resolution.Speaking of resolution, I had a custody meeting on Friday w/ the ex, shrink, and kids attorney. No surprises. They thought if we met, they could facilitate some communication between the 2 of us. It was much of the same b/s. I was not there to be bullied by any of them, and it was a waste of 2 hrs and a whole hell of a lot of $$$$. I will also speak w/ my attorney on Monday. I think it is about to escalate, and then be resolved. Fingers crossed.Well, there you have my weekly update. I will try to get on here more often.  The last 5 weeks have been nothing less than ridiculous.  I had been very frustrated with the medical world, and there was no need to update on the daily nonsense. I am hoping to be back here in a more positive fashion very soon. I am hoping with this post forward, I can bring you positive info. Thanks for stopping by.
