sleep soon...

[rootofnewt]

waking up in 9.5 hours (at best)... but i'll probably awaken earlier.

i'm scheduled for a few scans today... MR of brain, cervical and thoracic spine... 1.5 hours in the tube, i'm told. i'm glad i'm not claustrophobic.

you know, while i really don't want anything deviating from the norm to show up... sometimes i wish something would... something that says "yes, right here. this is why her hands and feet go numb, tingly, and why they sometimes hurt horribly." "oh, no. the fibro isn't all in her head, she really is in constant pain." "ah yes, this is why she's so damned brainfoggy."

but i know that won't happen. i usually have tests which are the epitome of perfect little normal twentysomething stuff.

then again, at least i know that i'm more or less healthy, except for the overwhelming pain and fatigue.

i guess that should be a relief.

Feh, I know *that* feeling . . . for so many years, they couldn't figure out what was wrong with ME, either, and kept telling me that I must have a 'low pain threshold' (for debilitating, doubled-over cramps, and two-week bleeding every two weeks) . . . and it's only since I've been off the mega-doses of hormones (and onto Concerta) that I realized that the crushing fatigue was probably a medication side effect . . . ugh!!

Good luck

Here's sending you good, happy vibes so that they find something. . . urrr. . . don't find something. . . uhmm... so that all the tests come back the way you want them to.

Even though I can only understand through jkatj, I do understand what you're going through. Then again, there are times when I've felt icky and had some tests done and wanted SOMETHING to show up too, just to prove that I wasn't a big, whiny baby, so maybe I CAN relate (on a much less painful, surface level).

*sigh*
