As you remember from the last painfully long post, I went to the doctor. Well, after almost 3 years of crap and test, I may have a definite diagnosis!
This doctor believes I have an autonomic nervous system (ANS) disorder. The ANS controls all the things you do but don’t think about doing, confused? Yeah me too! So examples are…. breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, pupils dilating, goose bumps, moving the muscles, and digesting food, just to name a few.
There are quite a few of those disorders, but he mentioned Dysautonomia *yeah can’t say it either*. There are quite a few disorders in this class too. I know I didn’t inherit it and I know it’s not the one where you just pass out, I get dizzy but I don’t pass out.
He wants to do a tilt table test, waiting for it to get set up. I do know that it is not curable, but it is treatable. Or at least so says the doctor. And researching without an exact name is a bad thing! Some of the disorders are as simple as passing out for no apparent reason, others……deadly. I think I fall somewhere in the middle!
I hate researching something that is not widely known about, I have found sites that say it is a treatable disorder, sites that say it will just go away by itself, sites that say there is no treatment, sites that say nothing is know about it.
But of the sites I have really looked at, I have discovered that it can be chronic or it can be episodic. After 3 years, I am thinking chronic. I have also discovered it is often misdiagnosed as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromalgia, and as hypochondria! The clinical test don’t back up the symptoms.
The doctor says my nervous system is super sensitve to inner and outer environment. Confused? Me too, I have found a fairly good site, NDRF and I will continue to browse it. It may turn out to be another oops diagnosis, but it so far fits a lot of what I am going through.
OK on to the AWARDS!!!!!!
I got an AWARD!!!! Tismee2 gave me this little award!!!!
How absolutely nice is that? My first award!!!!! It is so nice to be appreciated!!!!*blushes*
I would like to thank the Academy, my family, who without , I would not be where I am today, the fans…….Oh wait this isn’t an Oscar……. Seriously, I would like to thank Tismee2! She is great and I wish I could give it back to her! And I want to thank those of you who have stood by me and read all this stuff and left comments. You are all great! And I have to thank my family! *URG!* Because they are the reason I started this silly thing anyway!
THE RULES:
1. Chose 5 blogs that you consider deserving of this award for their creativity, design, interesting material, and also contribute to the blogging community.2. Each award has to have the name of the author and a link to his/her blog.3. Each award winner has to show the award and put the name of and link to the blog that presented her/him with the award.4. The award winner and one who has given the prize has to show the link of Arte Y Pico blog so everyone will know the origin of this award.5. Show these rules.
Do you know how hard it is to pick 5 people? I have so many bloggers I could give this to! I was up all night trying to make a decision, not really!
So without further ado I present this award to the following people.
AFF - She is such a treat! She will tell it like it is when it comes to her family!
Blue Momma - I love her, She is one of the first blogs I read! She has a great attitude and a mouth to go with it. And, yes, that is a good thing!!
Crazed Mom -I am choosing to list her this way because it is so fitting! She used to do Twist and Skewer, which is where I found her and I loved it!!! Now she is over here and just as wonderful!
Devilish Southern Belle- What can I say about Belle? She is great and I love to visit her everyday! Can she rant? Oh, yeah! You all know how I love a great rant!
Sam- I could not leave out Sam, I am her stalker and all! She is great, her kids are cute and who can resist a Canadian girl?
So there are my 5. It was a hard choice, I had about 20-30 I thought so deserved this award. So I knocked off those on the list who would have said, “Who the hell is this strange person!?!” and that left me with about 10, so I threw the names in a hat and drew out 5! Very scientific of me, I know. So if you are one of the ones left in the hat……grab an award, I won’t look! Just follow the rules and share it with 5 more deserving people!
And did you notice a very wonderful thing? I figured out how to hide the links in that cool way everyone and their uncle already knew how to do but wouldn’t tell me!!! My brain actually worked for a few minutes as I thought of how the hell this is done and I tried something and it worked and I fell in the floor and had a heart attack because it worked and now I am better and oh so excited that I figured it out!!! * out of breath! Whatta run on sentence!* It only took almost a year people! You could have helped a girl out!! But that’s OK, I forgive because I had 2 brain cells that finally connected!
Oh, and another exciting thing happened! I was actually linked and quoted on a big site! Not the normal little pings I get……www. who the hell has ever heard of these sites that constantly steal my words and give credit to others but do link to my site.com, but an honest to goodness actual “non-advertising” site! BlogHer. Now I know I was just used to get people to come look at one of the new people over there, but still!!! An actual except from my little ole blog!!! And I got a little traffic from it!!! So YEA ME!!!! I am moving up in the world! MAWHAHAHAHAHA!!! My plot to take over the world is working!!! MAWHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Seriously, my mom thinks its strange I have so many readers in different countries! HAHAHA! I guess the Internet just stays in the states? HAHAHAHA!! Or at least what is wrote in the states stays here. heh! Mom understands the Internet, but hates computers. And for my little blog to be read by more than 4 people shocks her. I have tried to tell her it’s my stepping stone to ruling the world, but she just doesn’t get it. BAWHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Another wonderful thing has happened here at Casa Life…….Little Miss has for the last 2 nights had her TV off by 10pm and actually asleep by 11pm!!!!! Miracles do happen people and I am here to tell you about it! What actually happened is her father started backing me up!!! Which, as you know, is a miracle in itself! And by standing behind me and not letting her whine to him and get him to agree with her, she decided she might as well just do what she was told! That and his yelling is louder, deeper and scarier than mine!!! Gotta love a tired man! He is scary when he is tired!
I need to go for now, I have things I have got to get done today! So until next time……
HAVE A GREAT DAY AND THANKS FOR VISITING!!!!!!!!
