I am not seeing a huge improvement.  If I'm not having a really bad day, the meds seem to help.  The hard part is waiting eight hours before I can take the next dose!  Seems likethey wear off after only six hours.  That means two hours of misery.

 I got three of the 12 blood tests done.  My doctor wanted me tested for Lupus (ANA), Epstein Barr (EBV) and Parvo.  I had to laugh when I saw Parvo on the list.  I thought that was a dog disease.  I DO spend a lot of time with my dog. lol

After some research, I found that it is totally different from the dog disease.  No, you can't catch Parvo from your dog. :)  I don't have the results back yet, but at least things are moving along. 

 I nearly had a heart attack when they told me what I had to pay.  I had called the day before to find out if I could even afford to go with no insurance.  They said $127.  Hey, I can do that! :)  Then I went and had the blood drawn.  The lady said $521.  I almost cried right there.  She apologized  and said she had mis-read the book the day before.  So I paid $250 and will owe them the rest. 

 Still have nine more tests to go.  Wish I could just do them now and get it over with.
