No News IS Good News, RIGHT?

The last few weeks have been interesting to say the least...I had no idea that medications could be responsible for so many dizzy spells, falls with the scrapes and bruises to go with it, and just plain old clumsiness.  I am dropping everything.  I've wrecked or broken so much stuff it isn't funny, including 2 keyboards for my computer from spilling coffee (fortunately, we had extra keyboards in the basement or I wouldn't be writing this).

No real news on much going on. The pain doctor changed my meds 2 days ago, so hopefully the falls will stop, and I see him again on the 30th, but I can already tell with only 2 days, since he is weaning me off one of the medications, the abdominal pain is increasing again..  I am seeing my internal medicine doctor on the 26th, since the edema is getting worse.  At points it is swelling up over my knees and making walking extremely painful or impossible. Besides I have this weird double vision thing going with my left eye.

After lots of phone calls, I finally heard from social security only to be told I had a doctor's appointment (I ended up talking to the examiner's supervisor, since she never mailed me the info. and I would have missed it). Anyways, I had to go to a special office for them, new doctor...turned out to be a psychiatrist and they wanted a mental health exam.  I wasn't truly surprised by the diagnosis, but it is more real when someone actually says it...so I am now officially diagnosed with chronic depression and a generalized anxiety disorder. Not sure what happens next with that, since they don't prescribe meds or set up doctor appts. they just needed the information to determine my eligibility for SSD..my doctor will have to decide what will happen next. So at this point, hopefully with these 2 diagnosis, plus the diagnosis for the abdominal nerve and muscle damage that is the cause of the constant pain, and since I am still losing weight---down to 125 now, which looks pretty anorexic if you ask me, they'll approve me.  They won't even look at any of the other stuff, since the doctor's don't know why or what's causing it, hence no diagnosis as usual. Gotta wait and see.

Will check in again when I know more.  Hope your all enjoying your summer.
Its been HOT,  HOT,  HOT, here in Michigan.
