The remedy??

Just an update on my health situation for everyone:

I was approved for the Enbrel by my insurance and received it on Thursday by FedEx! It had to be shipped cold. I took my first injection yesterday morning. While it was quite painful, the injection part only lasted about 15 seconds and the pain afterwords lasted but a few minutes. I haven't had any side effects so far either! Hopefully this will be the beginning of the end when it comes to oral medications! I am still on the Prednisone just as a precautionary back up. When I go back to the doctor at the end of August, he will begin to ween me off of it, so I will be strictly on the Enbrel and we can watch its full effects with the new doctor. It looks like steps are finally going in the right direction!

As for the dizzy spells, nothing about them yet. I don't go to the Neurologist until the 11th of August, so we will have to wait and see what happens. I am still having dizzy spells almost daily, but I am learning to cope with them.

Whats wrong with me and doctors?

I keep mentioning about me going to the doctor and not knowing whats wrong with me and I realized that you guys don't really know what is wrong, so I thought I would shed some light on the subject.

I will write a longer post soon about my major problem, but the reason I went to the doctor today was because of dizzy spells that I have been having for the last couple months. They hit me out of no where and for what seems to be no reason. They happen almost every day and it doesn't matter if I am sitting, standing or laying down. I have had two sets of blood tests ran and no one knows why this is happening. My doctor today told me that I have to go to a Neurologist to get some more tests done. I am just frustrated because I am sick of dealing with the dizzy stuff and I want to feel better!

I'll start working on a post about my other problems soon. I will apologize in advance for its length, because it is a long story.
