Fat Liver

Well it looks like medical issues is the theme of skinnertopia lately so I will ad some more. I got a whole ultrasound of my abdomen. They looked at my Kidneys, my arteries and everything. It involves a lot of holding your breathe which was about the only bad part. I had to wait two days to find out what they found out. I was nervous when I called the doctor because you never know what he might say. He said I have a fatty liver. My Gall Bladder is in good shape. I could have told them that without an ultrasound. All they have to do is look at my abdomen!!! Anyway he said my cholesterol is high too and I need to lose weight. I guess I will try to lose some weight like I did 10 years ago. I weigh a little bit more than I did when I lost the 50 pounds back then so I will try again. A vision of my fat liver will help me plus when you weigh so much your feet are starting to hurt I think its time to slim down. I am doing better with my shaking problem. It is mostly just that I am addicted to Lorazapam. I think if I lose weight it will help me with other problems. It's good to see that Rachel is o.k I bet maybe she has a bad esophogus like dad and me.

GOOD NEWS

I haven't been feeling well lately and then I got a bad pain in my chest, so I called the doctor and he said to come in. He checked me out and wanted to be completely thorough, so he sent me for a CT angiogram. Well, I am allergic to contrast dye, so they ended up doing a nuclear medicine scan (V/Q scan). That was interesting, something I haven't had before and not painful, besides lying down (I haven't been able to lie down very well because it hurts) and getting a little poke. They were looking for a pulmonary embolus and did not find one. I was very relieved, but I didn't really think it was that anyway. I guess the lupus just flared and I just have to up my steroids and get rest. In the hospital yesterday I was thinking how grateful I am that there are so many people and super technology that can help me. It is a good thing I didn't live 100 years ago or my lifespan would have been much shorter. I hesitate to write things about my health because I think you all may think that is all that happens in my life, but I just wanted to share the good news!

Joel, Dallin, and Brayden got free tickets to the BYU game Saturday. They are excited! I initially wanted to go, but the cold doesn't sound inviting. It just hurts me anyway.

Also, Hunter is getting glasses tomorrow, and he is so excited! I will post pictures soon, if I can figure it out. Mindy got her senior pictures back yesterday. We will have to post them too.

Clonic seizure

I think I had a Clonic Seizure last night. Here is the definition of this type of Seizure.

Clonic seizures are repetitive, rhythmic jerks that involve both sides of the body at the same time.

For the last few days I've had twitching in Various parts of my body. Last night was the worst it ever was. It was kinda like when you are really cold and your whole body shakes. It lasted about 5 minutes. Now I am still Jittery. I upped my ativan today to help control it. I think the problem is that I have developed a tolerance for Ativan. My body has been in withdrawal for it since I haven't upped the dose before because I want to get off of the stuff. The longer you take it the more you need. I am going to the doctor today. Maybe he will give me a different Benzo with a longer half life so I can slowly taper off of it. It's possible though that I have some sort of neurological problem and the Ativan is just masking it. My favorite Author Fyodor Dostoyevsky had epilepsy and he didn't have access to medicine so now I have more compassion for him. I still think maybe when I took Avelox and then took Ambien might have messed me up because there are studies that show the two medications mixed together can cause chronic nerve problems.

Update: Went to the Doctor. He and Marci thought I was full of Baloney. Anyway he is going to have me get an ultrasound monday to check my gall bladder. I also got some sleeping pills.
