i saw my primary doctor two weeks ago to discuss a few issues i've been having. i tend to keep a log of new pains and random medical questions for upcoming visits. the last list contained lyrica, marinol, sharp stomach pains, calmax (this expensive powder my mom bough for me to try to help me sleep), the nortriptylin affecting my sleep, and chron's disease.
he said:
lyrica and marinol: i need to see the new rheumatologist and see what she has to say about switching me to new medication, but he's heard of patients using marinol with great success.
sharp stomach pains: it can either be my ovaries or my appendix, so i have two sonograms scheduled.
calmax: he read the instructions, and said "all this'll do is constipate you."
nortriptylin: he prescribed the rozerem (see the post from monday, july 12th)
chron's: stool test. i think they came back negative..?
so tomorrow's the big day. i'll be back at the doctor's office. both sonograms tomorrow morning. i can't eat for eight hours before the first one, then immediately after, i have to drink four cups of water to do the other one. a few hours later is my appointment with the rheumatologist. thank grilled cheezis there's a dunkin donuts at the corner! (glee reference. yes, i'm a gleek)
time for meds. time for bed.
