So, I missed my shrink appointment this week because the alternator on the car blew and we had to replace it....

But I did go to the doctors yesterday for two reasons:

A) They never gave me the diagnosis on my neuralysis
B) I'm holding water like a cactus (I have adema, and it's very obvious because my feet, ankles, and legs are swelled up like balloons...it fucking hurts).

So....we go in there, tell him this, and he perscribed water pills for me, then I asked for my neuralysis results (3 months I've been waiting), and it's official. I have a terrible case of carpral tunnel syndrome in both wrists. I have to wear wrist braces, then get steroid shots in my wrists, then have surgery. The doc only wanted to put me in one brace for now, so I chose the right one....but it was hurting yesterday....so I'm going to try it again and see how it goes. In a few weeks, I gotta get the left one.

So...anyways...he also put me on IBUProfen 800's (the over the counter ones are only 250's)....because of the pain in my wrists and from the adema.

*sigh* So now I'm on 6 medications (1 for hypothyroidism, 1 for irritable bowel syndrome, 1 anti-inflamatory for my wrist, 1 for the adema, and 1 for the pain.) Plus a fucking wrist brace. And I still don't know if I have PCOS or Cushings disease or WHAT is wrong with me.

I hate doctors sometimes.

Anyways, in other news...PrideFest is in 2 weeks. WOOOHOOO! *sigh* Though we ran out of money so I couldn't get my pants and the rainbow material, or a cool shirt to wear *sighs* Oh well...I guess I'll just have to live with it.

Also, I've gotten back into pixeling. I've made *thinks* 5 entirely new dolls in about the last 10 days. Wooohoooo! I intend to pump out more. Oh, I've also been making pixel Teddy Bears and selling them at @ Eden Enchanted. I used an outline from Rinconcito Dolls, pixel shaded it all in, edited the outline a bit, and voila. Teddies.

And....being Pride Month...what is Mandy going to do but make Pride Teddies?



I really like these little guys, so be nice to them *giggles* There will be an explanation site for them sometime today....I'll link them to it when it's done.

Anyways, not much is up. I'm going to go hang out at EE and whatnot.

Cya'll later.

Fancy bears! Sorry to hear about your woes - I really am. I find that IBS is really a blanket term for "uhm, we don't know what's wrong with you, but we're sure your system is irritable." - My fiance "has it" but nothing seems to "fix it" and the only prognosis he gets is "well..it's not appendicitis!"

My sister was also diagnosed with it when it turned out her gall bladder had ruptured.

Whoa. I'm..helping, aren't I? *looks around* - what I MEANT to say, is feel better soon..and thanks for applying @ Pixel Inc, eh? :) I'll see ya around there.

Happy Pride Month :)
