It's been a few days......I've been crocheting and chilling. Energy level low. Eyes funky. Probably from puffiness. Upper abdomen still distended , another 4 inches! If you click on post above from NKF, I think it might explain the abdomen situation! On list to ask doctor next week. I've gained about 7lbs. but feel more like 20lbs. !!! Shortness of breath is a BITCH!!!
Finally planted garlic bulbs the other day. Cleaned up outside a little. (With Maribeth's help) Left my swing set up so when its nice I can still go out and swing.
This is just because I want to document. When I was first dx. with an autoimmune disease about 3 years ago, I was told I had C.R.E.S.T. Syndrome. It is an acronym. Each letter is a symptom. I had many. BUT, it is not the main diagnosis, because I was having other symptoms that were being, kind of, pushed to the side.
After getting worse and having more and more problems. (Sinus, breathing, stabbing back jabs) When my niece (who is a dialysis nurse in Akron) spoke to one of the doctors she deals with, I decided to get a second opinion. THANK GOD I did. Eventually someone would have sent me to a pulmonologist, but it might have been later than sooner. Not good for recovery. : p
SO, I kind of was waiting 3 years for my kidney's to fail and to go on dialysis. There are 5 levels of kidney failure. I started out in Level 4, Level 5 is dialysis. Waiting plays a game with your head! I'm not a good waiter......
