Please Hold…

I feel like my health has been on hold for a while. I had been on The Autoimmune Solution for all of three days before a scheduled EGD and colonoscopy, where I was told that there is not even a hint of inflammation in my GI tract, with pictures to prove it... so I have placed the “Anti-Inflammatory Diet” on the back burner for now.

I’ve been continuing to see my new rheumatologist, which has been going okay; just a lot of changing meds around. I did, however, start seeing a pain doctor, after my rheumatologist told me that for now we’re just going to note everything as “fibromyalgia pain” for the purposes of diagnoses (we’re also going to refer to my hand pain as “unknown arthritis”). The pain doctor took x-rays of my back and found out that I do have mild scoliosis, which may account for a bit of my back pain and recent SI joint locking.

It’s been recommended that I see a chiropractor again, and another physical therapist, but of course, these are not covered very well by my new insurance—turns out you lose TriCare when you get married. So.... I guess I’m just on hold for now.
