health

i wish that i could say everyone is just bouncing with health.
i suppose i could say that about everyone but me.

i'm struggling with lots of fatigue (a long on-going struggle), and debilitating migraines.

i went to the doctor

this week's (2/22/15) migraines had me nauseated, dizzy, and struggling with vertigo. i had four this week.
the following week (3/2/15)......nothing.
the week of 3/8, i had 5...! with symptoms from my ability to think being gone, to lights and sound making it worse.
this week, 3/15, so far...2. for some reason, some of them start with the back of my scalp tingling like it's falling asleep.

all of the bloodwork they did came back normal.
i'm not anemic.
as i've had gestational diabetes before, they continue to check those numbers, as the chances of me getting type 2 later in life are higher.
     those numbers keep coming back normal.
with a family history of thyroid problems, i make sure they keep checking those numbers as well.
     normal.
what they didn't expect to find, was a slightly fatty liver.
   my father, when they were trying to discover what was wrong with him 8 years ago, discovered that he had a fatty liver. basically, he had the liver of a drinker, without ever having a drop in his life.
   so, i wasn't entirely surprised when they found that.

as all the bloodwork came back normal, they decided to do an mri.
30 minutes, is just long enough for a severely exhausted person to almost completely fall asleep.

the mri came back normal.
this only means that there's nothing obvious. no tumors, no blood clots.

i've started a list of things that i think we need to look into and hopefully eliminate.
the inability to process the b vitamins, it's a real genetic disorder.
vitamin d deficiency
excess toxins
sleep apnea
hormone imbalance
lyme
lupus

the next step is seeing a specialist.
