Well, again I had a doctor appointment in which we are hopefully one more step closer to figuring things out. I was also REALLY happy to get in before any shutdowns happened in our dear government. So... today I met with my doctor, got off the allergy pills and was given something geared toward migraines for my headaches, got another chest x-ray, and did an 20 lead ECG which will enable me to do a stress test before my next appointment in a month. We also discussed my astronomical cholesterol, which I am supposed to be on a low-fat diet (which is what I normally eat), exercise more (which I do as much as I can before the shortness of breath and chest pain stop me), and either take 6 fish oil pills a day or find a liquid form of it that I can take 2tsp. a day (which is my preference, because otherwise the 6 fish oil plus all of my vitamins and birth control will put me over the amount I took while on TB meds! NO DICE!)
So, now I have migraine pills, I have to look for liquid fish oil, and will be called to set-up a stress test. I really hope that all of this gets figured out and that I can exercise (or at least play my wii fit hula-hoop) without wanting to die!!
