I went in for my doctor's appointment today. Didn't learn anything earth-shattering or life-altering. Dr. K said that if I am not feeling worse, with everything that is going on, then I am doing well. She knows I feel discomfort and some bloating. She reminded me I need to see about an ultrasound or aspiration/biopsy for a node in my right breast. That showed up on a CT and I'm glad she reminded me because that whole thing must have somehow disappeared from my mind. I normally follow-up with what I need to but I hadn't even thought about this. (I could just make an appointment for the same time as my mom and we could hang at the hospital together!) No change in meds for now, although I am going to go back to the first pharmacy for a month for my Valium suppositories to see if the difference has just been in what I'm doing or in the way the valium was made. Suppositories are not pills that come out of a bottle, so each pharmacy mixes them up by request, (or basically by prescription) so there may be more of a variance than in just basic pills. Each order goes to a compounding pharmacy, so I'm going to try the one I did better on for a month now in order to determine if the difference is just me/stress/overdoing it or if it is in the pill. I will continue to try to do as much as I can without overdoing it. My back has been killing me since I got home.
