Waiting patiently for a date.

August, 2009

Since my first doctors visit in January, I have lost more than 50 lbs on weight watchers, quit smoking, and have had every single test imaginable.  Thank goodness they have such strict requirements, because due to all the testing, I found out I have an inactive thyroid for which they put me on synthroid, sleep apnea- I use my C-PAP machine with oxygen religiously-and after an extremely stressful 2 weeks due to a questionable chest x-ray- I found out after a biopsy that I have Sarcoid-which is an unexplained inflammation of lymph nodes in the chest and lungs-and thankfully, not lung cancer, which is what I was convinced the lymph nodes were for the 2 weeks I was waiting to find out. 

 I was also severely  Vitamin D and B12 deficient-so I am now on a strict vitamin regimen, and am extremely happy to say, my level are now normal! YAY!!

At this point, I have completed all my requirements.  I am awaiting the ok from the insurance company, and then I will finally get the date I have been waiting a very long time for.
