So a lot of my close friends and family know that I was diagnosed with chronic migraines over a year ago. I started seeing a neurologist shortly after I had Abbigail so that we could start to figure out a way to manage my headaches and for me to actually be pain/headache free day to day. I didn't really like my neurologist because all he ever did was put me on medications and I felt like he really didn't listen to my concerns. He never even did a CT scan. Now that we have moved I have finally started seeing a new neurologist and I absolutely love him! He listens to my concerns, explains the course of treatment that we are going to try and has actually given me an answer or at least an idea of what is causing my headaches. I had a CT scan done as soon as I saw my new PCM here and he thought it was unusual that I never had one. My neurologist thinks my headaches are caused from the muscles in the back of my neck and shoulders being extremely tight. So I am starting physical therapy this week and have been on some muscle relaxers at night to try to help that out. He also put me on some meds for when I start to get my severe headaches, and it actually does the job and gives me some relief.
Another issue has come to light in the last week. I had some blood work done back in February and I finally was able to get my results. Turns out I have low thyroid levels. I don't know how long they have been low, but it does explain a lot of symptoms I have been having lately. So now I am also on medication for that which should help me feel better hopefully soon. Hopefully my next doctors appt will be some good news!
On a happier note, I finally got a temporary license from the state so that I can start working. I already have a job, just have to get them a few more pieces of info and then I can start working :-) But first I gotta find a daycare for the kiddos. Just another thing to add to my to do list! The next 4 days will be the last night shift for the hubby for the next 2 months...Thank Goodness!! This next week is gonna be a busy one. I am finally getting my IV certification done which should be interesting. 2 days of class study and practice and then a 10 hour clinical at a hospital in order to get my certification. I am also starting my physical therapy and will hopefully get some results on some new blood work. We are still waiting to hear back on our house. It is the same one we put an offer on over a month ago. I hate how long it is taking the back to get back to us, but I am trying to be patient because I REALLY REALLY REALLY LOVE THIS HOUSE! Hopefully we will hear some good news in the next week or so.
Our Easter was pretty uneventful. Put together some baskets for the kids, baked some bunny and egg little cakes to decorate. Unfortunately I was the only one who decorated them and they ended up hitting the garbage this weekend. Oh well! We didn't do an easter egg hunt, maybe next year. Here are some pics to enjoy :-)
Thomas and Abby enjoying their baskets. Abby is constantly just walking around the apartment carrying her basket. It is too cute!
Abby checking out her "little people" giant eggs! She loves them! (And I Love Her Outfit!)
We also ended up taking the kids to the fair last weekend. Boy did we get fried!! But at least the weather wasen't too bad and the kiddos behaved for the most part. I was only able to snap a few pictures towards the end of the trip and unfortunately this was the only was that was decent...Oh well, we have the memories and the kids had a good time. That's all that matters right?
I hope this blog finds everyone well. I guess I'm going to try and get some sleep...gym again in the morning with the hubby!!
Until Next Time My Friends....
