Granny's gone and done it again

I don't do botox.
Thanks about my bowl. I was teaching class tonight, I love that studio!

The shots i get for my Occipital Neuralgia migraines are just lidocaine. They work great. They will do Botox if the lidocaine doesn't work and the headaches are unbearable with the lidocaine. So far so good for me. I go back in on the 19th.

Good morning. It's a foggy overcast day promising too become humid. So get the hot work done early...

Where do you live?

I had Robert buy a small slab of bbq ribs already made but I like to put them in the oven anyway, Instant mashed taters and green beans. I just don't have the energy to fix that right now. That's sad. I guess I will make chicken salad sandwiches today. It's good too. They put grapes in it.

You do what you can grocery delivery, rotisserie chickens, pot pies, bagged salads, premade meals etc are very common here now as well. I bought a couple steaks yesterday hoping to surprise DS with a nicer dinner. Ended up eating leftovers hopefully today

That sounds miserable, I’m sorry you are dealing with those. Do you take anything for them?

My symptoms are different from yours. Similar in nature but more brain stem type vertigo. I have to say it was hard to wrap my head around the fact you can have migraines without the actual painful headache. Hearing your experience helps me understand that more. Maybe I do have them sometimes. Thank you.

My regular neuro sent me to his colleague who specializes in migraines. She listened to my symptoms and saw an episode at the end of our appointment and said they are not migraine related. I’ve been telling my neuro for a year that something is off. In December he said migraine and/or trauma related after my second round of treatment for RMSF. I am still making a fuss that it is not what I am dealing with. I’m just thrilled to finally be seen and validated that they need to look further into everything. The question now is if they will.

Rocky Mountain spotted Fever is extremely rare in my area. I think they do not understand it. It’s easier to just diagnose and treat what they know instead of having to look further into something they don’t understand.

That is no fun to deal with, I’m sorry you are.
My niece has lasting effects from a serious eye injury. She could have had surgery but my sister opted not to. She has said now she wish she would have. I hate to see my niece dealing with all of it.

I was nervous to add the Botox treatments but I am really glad I did.
Ceramics are so much fun! I wish we could find another place to take lessons.

That's what the drs have been doing for me for years. Treating me for a whole lot of different diagnoses. Finally, my Dr says it's time to check for Lupus....Positive. Dizzy is one of the main symptoms. I've got so many of the symptoms. It's crazy. I'm just going to keep taking the meds I've been taking when this that or another thing happens.
Having a hard time keeping my BP stable right now.
The last couple of days have been no fun. I was a bit scared yesterday. Kept feeling like I was going to pass out. Today is a bit better.
For those of you that know about my eye..guess what eye drops can cause. Dizziness! I can't win for losing. I didn't put any in my eye last night. I'm telling myself that's why I'm a bit better today. Ugh..

Good morning, Grannylanders! Did anybody else get rain overnight? It comes and goes here. A little challenging doing PT just now with Sammy wanting to be right under my walker every step, lol. My therapist is a Filipino guy who often runs a food truck on Saturdays. Used to work at a Benihana's rstaurant. One day he will bring me some chicken adobo for tacos and trade me for a loaf of bread or eggs. Sounds yummy!

I woke up, let the dogs out, and saw that it had rained a lot.
I slept for 9 hours!!

oh and I have appt. for the 26th with vascular Dr. I sure hope he can help me walk.I can barely make it from the house to the van. Driving is pure torture now.

I was wondering how your legs were doing.

Oh wow, I’m happy you were finally diagnosed! Lupus can do a lot of damage if not properly treated. I hope you can get the BP and dizziness under control soon.

Well. Sigh. Think I’m dealing with niacin deficiency with the ducklings. I got one and she’s just not standing. She’s eating and drinking like a champ, still perky, just not very mobile. Thought the all flock grower (that has niacin in it!) would be ok but guess these gucks just grew too fast. The rest are still ducking, but have noticed a bit of slowing down too. Sigh. Got some nutritional yeast and have added that to food.

Their run should be finished this weekend. That’ll help give them some more space. They’ve grown so freaking fast it’s insane.

Oh goodness, Cynthia. I'm so sorry about all this. I looked this up ... and GC has a whole bunch of the symptoms for this as well. I'm going to have her discuss this with her PCP.
