Update on the Neurologist Appointment, etc

Today was the day of the Neurologist. I'm glad I got to finally go. I was impressed with his waiting room. Big TV, nice comfy couch, pages for the girls to color with a big bowl of crayons, nice staff, quiety atmosphere, nice and clean and clutter-free.
He did a series of regular tests, like my reflexes, how I walk, muscle strength, eyes, etc. After all of that he decided to have me get a nerve test done to see if I have carpal tunnel in my right hand, and a test for my oxygen levels at night to see if I need a sleep-study for Sleep Apnea, and an MRI to see if I've had a stroke. He is currently going to treat me for migraine's, too, so I get to start this medication that treats high blood pressure, too.
I meet with him again in 3 weeks after all the test results are done and to see how the migraine medication works.
Then we took Lacie to her Pediatrician for her 5 yr old child exam. She's measuring really small and petite. She comes by that fairly. Tyler's family is made up of a bunch of really small and petite people. My family is made up of a bunch of underweighties. So there you have it. Small and short. I'm going to tower over my own children. lol
While there Lacie WAS going to get like 4 shots! But her tonsils were swollen as well as her glands. They tested her and she has strep throat!!! Surprise!!! She and Sophie BOTH do!!!! Can you believe it??
When our kids are sick they don't really show it that much. They were saying "my throat hurts" and "I'm sick" but had no fevers and their behavior wasn't any different, so we really couldn't tell!!So they get to start their meds tonight.
Another thing, Lacie is going to have to see a foot specialist. Her pigeon-toedness is not getting better (which I expected it wouldn't) and she'll probably have to wear a brace on at least her right foot. I had the same deal when I was little. Poor Lacie can't stand on that foot alone or hop on it or anything. It's really handicapping her, the poor girl!!!
So there you have it. Our Health update of the day written tonight.

Test results on blood work back, etc

Okay,
So my doctor called me tonight and gave me my blood work results. I have a secondary internal infection apart from a staph infection in my nose and from the mono I already have. We don't know what the internal infection is so I'll have to get more blood cultures to figure that out.

I also have slightly high cholesterol. He said it's low enough that I should be able to maintain it with exercise and diet.

I get to double my acid reflux medication to see if that helps with my stomach pains and apply an ointment in my nose for that staph.

On Tuesday I go to see the neurologist to figure out why I had that temporary paralysis and why I'm so slow and fuzzy and headachey.

On the 26th I go to see the GI about my stomach. Sometime in between seeing the GI and now I need to get blood cultures done.

Frankly, I'm TIRED of all of this. I'm not going to go in and get them done unless I get sicker. Probably foolish, but right now I don't care. I'm way too tired and fatigued and worn out from everything to care right now. If it's bad enough then I figure I'd be in the hospital right now or will end up there. Either way, eh, oh well.

Another thing I'm tired about is having a few select people not take my issues seriously and brush them off. Yeah, that's annoying. Now I just figure oh well, who cares what they think. They're not compassionate or supportive so that's their problem, right?

Okay now back to my boring life of sitting on the couch and trying to squash out the loud and echoing sounds of my screaming children that echo loudly through my head all day long.
