What Happened?

September 21, 2018

My hematologist appointment was surprising in a couple ways. To start, we have no idea how, and no idea why, but my Iron-which has been nearly bottomed out all year-is suddenly almost too high of a level. The second surprise(to me at least), is that I may have sleep apnea. It would explain why I’m exhausted even when I get the right amount of sleep at night. He’s debating a sleep study, so I suppose I’ll hear back on that.

To follow up with the sudden mix between Neurology and Hematology, my chances of the lesions on my brain being caused by the beginning signs of Multiple Sclerosis is now roughly 90%. Hematologist said that there was no way my anemia would have caused it. The Lymph Nodes the Neurologist found with the brain MRI have been passed on to hematology and I’ll be getting a neck CT with an IV contrast on Wednesday. And of course the outpatient surgery(courtesy of pregnancy-have to get them bad boys removed) on Tuesday. That leaves Monday to spend time with my daughter uninterrupted by work or doctors seeing as I work the rest of the week after Wednesday.

Still waiting to get the Neurology appointment with the Mayo clinic set up, they said they’d more than likely call this upcoming week for that(fingers crossed I can get it the same day as Hematology).

Onward to Tomorrow…
