Well it took two days for the lactic acid to clear from my leg muscles after doing some walking on Saturday...and an extra day for the sunburn to settle
I seem extremely sun-sensitive now...more so than I used to be...hmm like a Lupus patient only I test Negative.
Saw my GP yesterday. He gave me a new referral to my Gastroenterologist & agreed to make an urgent appointment for me. Nice! GPs secretary just rang & said that they slotted me in next Tues...lucky!
(Now to write a list of gut/liver/autoimmune questions) Cost first visit (again!) $220. Medicare will refund me $124.
I asked my GP if he thought my Dry Eye could possibly be infectious and he said outright "No it's autoimmune for sure"...(hmmm you and I know that increasingly autoimmune diseases are increasingly being found to be associated with...pathogens...oh well). He gave me new referral for my Rheumatologist and said "He's the best guy to help you". The new sudden onset Dry Eye, the profound level of weakness & fatigue plus new onset "qualities" of early dementia LOL are new pieces in the puzzle...sigh...
Oh I also rang a helpline for Mitochondrial Diseases & got some help from a lovely lady doctor. As a result of this I am seeing a second Neuro who is actually a Neurophysiologist & Neuroendocrinologist. He has some expertise & interest in diagnosis/treatment of Mitochondrial Diseases. My appointment is not til May...sigh...cost $330 - 445 for first visit!
(By the way... my first Neuro ordered an MRI & MRA. No gross pathology. Blood vessels OK. NO SIGNS OF DEMENTIA...yet!!!...a few non-specific hyperintensities...)
