Medical Round up

For anyone who has been following my medical posts you will be pleased to know they have been moved into their own category.
Heres whats wrong with me, to date. And let me tell you, we know a lot more than we used to!
Chronic Migraine, which may or may not involve aura. The nuero doesnt know. And Im not about to pay $250 for a very wordy 'I dont know'.
Trigeminal nueralga. Even though the nuero said no, both my ENT and GP are convinced I have it. TGN stays on the list.
Chronic sinusitis caused by a degeneration of the sinus cavity itself. I now take a steroid spray daily and pound more clarityne than ever before.
TMJ. Yep, left jaw. Thats FOUR conditions in the same place now. The pain in my jaw was so bad I thought I wouldnt be able to go back to work. I doubled up on Endep, which is just the magic drug for me. God I love it. Ive had some emotional issues bhut have pushed through, I need the 25mg too much. I am having a CT and an X ray next week, the doc thinks I might have...Drumroll....A dislocated jaw! The pains all wrong for TMJ. She said, when feeling my face, "K, why do you have to be so weird?"
Vitiligio. Not noticeable over winter, blotches appear upon the slightest suntan.
Endometriosis, which was supposed to be so severe, I couldnt get pregnant. Ha! Thought they would know better by now. Since I had the baby, it has not played up. During pregnancy my endo lesions caused some trouble, but since birth, its been quiet.
Arthritis. Always fun.
Oooh dermatitis. Cant get rid of it. Look like a leper.
Heart murmur which worsened during pregnancy. Having some flutters. Had borderline blood pressure at the end which has contributed to chest pain.
IBS. Like the arthritis, always fun. Just to keep it interesting.
I now function on a careful concoction of ibuprofen and paracetamol and vitamin supplements. I like herbal muscle relaxants for muscle spasams. I cannot ever forget my precious endep. The pain is always there, but manageable, and attacks are rare.
Like I said, we know more than we used to!
