Follow ups

So I have been back to the doctor this past month. I was and still am having a little discomfort on the side where the kidney stones were and still had blood in my urine. I went in and they did another CT scan and another test where they went into my bladder to check things out. Both tests came out good and my doctor said I was probably just still healing. I will have to go back and see him in a year. The endo. doctor has changed my medication so I am taking a little more. There was a little miscommunication on that. He told me to take a half a pill more and he meant a half a pill more a week not every day. :) haha! I was a little relieved when i found that out. I was feeling so sick almost everyday. Although I am taking the medication most of my side effects are still there from the disease. I am taking vitamin D and Selenium, which helps with my energy a lot! Although I am still so tired a lot of the time. I joined a softball team so that I have some motivation to work out. When I do I have to work so hard just to loose 5 pounds, which is another awesome thing (not!) that I get to deal with. I have been having joint pain in my hands kind of like arthritis, but that is the only thing that has gone away a little bit that I can tell. There are so many side effects it is crazy to me that one thing can cause so much. The other night I woke up in the middle of the night. Kyle was in the other room doing homework. I was yelling in pain because my legs were having cramps in my muscles and joints. He came in the room thinking that I had another kidney stone. Anywhere I moved it just made them worse. The next day I had to ask him if it was real or not. I think we both have nightmares of what happened in Uruguay :) I hope to see a naturalist that has helped my sister with her thyroid problems as well. He told me he can help me, so I am anxious to see him soon. I am just waiting for him to look at all my blood work and go from there. Wish me luck!
