I finally made it.....Standford Medical Center!!
They had beautiful water fountains in the front of the building. The entire place is beautiful & the Doctors there are AWESOME!!
After the exam I went to get some blood drawn (OMG, I think I left with half a pint of blood left in my body. They took so much blood I couldnt believe I was even still alive after all that blood loss.) You know the test paper they give you to give the tech who draws your blood? Well they had mark so many spots on that paper I had two sheets to hand the lady. I was there long enough to have a complete conversation about my doggy while she was drawing my blood. lol. After that I was sent to get some X-rays. That took another hour of my time. I was starting to wonder wtf was really going on 10 x-rays later. Was he screwing them up or what, but I had to have had at least 15 x-rays. Now I m questioning, can I still have children after all that exposure to the rays? I know that machine is harmless, but it scares me to think about all the radiation after so many x-rays. Does anyone know about that kind of stuff? But all in all I loved how the Doctor checked every part of me from head to toe. I can honestly say Ive never had that good of an exam in my life. I really believe they are going to really help me thro this. All in all it was an awesome experiance. I do have another appointment, thats when I get all the results from my tests. After we left we went to SanFransico to have dinner & just enjoy the rest of the day.
Thanks everyone for being so supportive through out all this.
BG, Thank you for everything, all you did didnt go unnoticed, it helped me more then you may ever know. I owe you babe!! Thanks so much for everything!! I love you sweetheart!
Also, one thing I did find out that I do have yesterday is Raynauds syndrome. Things are going to start getting a lot better for me now that I m on the right path to the right treatment & the right medications. Thank God!!
Take care everyone & I will keep you all posted with whatever I find out.

I am glad you got to the doctor. I hope you will be feeling better soon.
My roommate from college has that Raynauds syndrome.
Is that what you have been feeling bad from?
The pictures are gorgeous.
Feel better soon.
~xo
My eyes teared when you wrote "Awesome Doctors". You were sooooo due to find some of them!
I remember hearing years ago that a pack of cigarettes had the same amount of radiation as a chest x-ray, and they've probably "backed off" those machines a bit in the 20 years or so since I heard that. I am sure your future kids are safe!
So glad that you are finally getting the straight scoop on things!
Missed you terribly, and love you much!

Lee ann,
Thanks sweetheart & no thats only the half of whats been making me feel bad. I guess Raynauds is due to an auto immune diease, so it only confirms their suspicions of Lupus. But the eye Doctor diagnosed me with having MS, So now the question is do I have one or both. I have all the faith in these doctors, they seem to know what they are doing. I found out some other things that I didnt post because they were personal, but again it only confirmed the worst. Thanks again sweetheart, I hope all is well with you. XOXOXO
Alan,
You are a true sweetheart!! I got there scared to death what was going to take place, but when I left I felt a weight had lifted off my shoulders. Its a long drive, but well worth it, for sure. I didnt get back into town until midnight, but I also took a detour. :) Thanks so much for all your support & I promise to keep you posted. I ve missed you too babe & you better know your always in my thoughts. Love always, MM XOXO

Storm,
Thanks so much for the info on the xrays. The Tech did cover me on my pelvic area, but he put it so low I was alittle worried. Although, he didnt cover my neck, next time Ill demand he/she does. Thanks again sweetie, & I hope all is well with you too. Take care!! ;) XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Love always, MM XOXOXO
Hey MM:
Glad things went well at the doctor/specialist, even though you may have found out some things that are disturbing.
You are on the way to being better!! and we're (at least I am) all praying for you.
Loves ya babe!!!
Just reading up on the blogs before bed here. I am so so so happy for you and that you finally got in. What a relief eh?!!!!!!
I am so happy and anything I can ever do to help out is truly my pleasure especially for a sweet and humble person such as yourself. You really have touched so many and are such a lovely woman! Don't you ever forget that.

3SumByotch,
Thanks for stopin by sweetheart, & your welcome here anytime. Can I borrow the T-shirt someday? ;) BTW your HOT!! XOXOXO
Princess,
There you are sweetie, Ive been missing you. I know youve been really busy with that cute new man of yours, so I understand. I hope everything is going good for you sweetheart. Thanks for everything & take care of yourself & your new man. :) XOXOXO
Ipizudic,
Thanks sweetheart, lol!!
Ive heard somethings about you from that witch. Is there any truth to it? She has said a lot about everyone, so I dont believe much that comes out of her mouth, thats why I m asking. I dont mean to even bring it up, but I was just curious. Take care sweetie & thanks for commenting. XOXOXO
Love always, MM XOXO
I'm so glad you saw the doctors and are on the path to recovery. Get well soon, sweetheart!
I hate it when they draw blood. I usually faint, or come close to it, and they end up not being able to draw any at all. Congrats just for getting through that torture! Yay, though, I'm glad you're on the right path now. Take care!
Yey!!! I'm so so glad that you got such great treatment.
I agree that getting a diagnosis goes along way in feeling better. Once I finally knew that I have schizoaffective disorder I was able to throw all my energy into understanding the illness and working with doctors.
I am excited for you and hoping (as always) for the best.
According to The Encyclopedia Squidtanica, Raynaud's Syndrome: A condition where one places X's and O's in an excessive fashion. The most common cure is to place even more X's and O's after every line of typing.
I'm sure that if you need a second opinion, there are plenty of people that would be willing to give you a complete exam, head to toe...
The road to recovery is in sight. Good luck and best wishes!
I'm so happy to hear you finally went to the center. Knowing that they will help you and are so thorough is definitely a relief.
Get well fast, love.
SPG,
Thanks sweetheart, I miss you BTW!!XOXO
Sadielady,
LOL, I know what you mean. Ive passed out before during my blood being drawn. I think it was because I was pregnant at the time, lol. Thankfully I didnt this last time when she sucked the life out of me. Thanks so much for wishing me well. Take care babe!! XOXO
James,
Your so right!! Its exciting to finally be getting the right treatment for sure. I m really sorry about your diagnosis babe. I dont know much about it, but I do know its never fun to be sick or unhealthy. Take care sweetheart & thanks for everything!! XOXO
Squid,
LMAO, thanks for always making me smile or laugh or something. lol!! Yes, Ive heard something like that with the x's & o's thing before. I cant remember by whom. Oh yeah it was YOU last time too, lol.
Do you hate it when I post x's & o's?
About the second opinion, I already have two new Doctors I dont need anymore opinions. But I understand what you mean. LOL!!
Thanks so much sweetheart for all the well wishes. Do take care & I hope your new house is everything you & your wife hoped it would be & more. XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXXOXOXO
