Yes Chloe I went to a new dr on July 21. She is a nephrologist/internal medicine dr. She ordered a bunch of blood work for things I have never even heard of. Something called Antiphospholipid Antibody, Wegener's Granulomatosis, and Vascilitis. Other tests for lyme and epstein barr. I get results back in 2 weeks. She is the only dr that has ever seemed concerned about my high blood pressure. She put me on a low dose water pill in hopes to bring it down. My bottom number was over 100. So far it has not helped. My pressure is still running high. She is also concerned that my endometriosis is back and thinks I need to get a pelvic exam to rule out ovarian cancer. Over all tho she doesnt think this is MS. But her reasoning for that is a bit off really...she thinks the MS neuro I went to would have picked up on it. She evidentally doesn't know about our little limboland group huh. She thinks it is more of a connective tissue disease. I need to call her back to tell her my blood pressure is not going down and I need to call and get an appt with a gyn. But have I dont any of those things? No :( It will take months to get into a gyn because I need to find a new one. I keep putting everything off hoping it will go away. So far no such luck tho.
