Two Extremes

Let's see, good news or bad news first.......

BAD NEWS:  My rheumatologist appointment did not go well.  Good part of the bad news?  My rheumy doesn't think I have rheumatoid arthritis.  That's great, but I am still in tons of pain every day and she isn't doing anything about it.  Even if it is only the fibromyalgia that is causing all of the problems, she didn't even adjust any meds or give any advice on how to reduce/stop the pain.  It is making me crazy! My body is not some piece of useless material that can be thrown to the side while the doctor waits to mend it.  It doesn't work like that.  I have to be able to use my body!  Ha.  I want to be able to do so many things, but I can't if I don't have the strength to do it.  OR, if I physically can't because of the pain.  I hate that doctors pull you along on this vision that they know what they are talking about, BUT when it comes to diagnosing you, they are completely oblivious to your symptoms of pain and don't know/understand what is causing the pain and how to fix it.  And ANYONE who tells me that I don't like this doctor because they didn't diagnose me with something I thought I might have because a doctor told me I might have it is NO friend of mine.  That is probably the WORST thing you can tell someone who struggles every day with an invisible disease and experiences the pain that I feel.  It is hard enough as it is.  Don't make it worse.  I pay doctors to help me get better.  This one isn't.  That means they are not doing their job.  Don't tell me that I am just mad because the doctor didn't diagnose me with rheumatoid arthritis.  Just...don't make it worse.

On to a better topic...

GOOD NEWS:  I AM FULLY REGISTERED FOR FALL 2011 CLASSES!!!!!!  I had orientation and registration for my new university that I am transferring my credits to.  I breezed through most of the day.  I didn't have to take the english or math assessments...which was AWESOME!!!  And then I figured out that I definitely have enough loans and financial aid to help with the costs for the upcoming year.  Again, awesome.  After financial aid, I got to register for classes, which was BY FAR my favorite part.  I registered as an English major...but not just a simple English major, rather a SECONDARY ENGLISH EDUCATION major!!!!!!  I'm really excited about it.  My classes aren't that exciting, but I am back in the music realm too!  WHICH IS REALLLLLLLYYYYYY EXCITING!!!

Anyhow, I'm done typing for now.  There's the two extremes of my day, and it's not even 4pm yet!  Still have a ways to go....So Adios!
