A New Arsenal

This past week has been aligning a new medical team to determine the remaining pain I have that prohibits me from living my life to its fullest. I have changed some medications and gotten a new pain management specialist, new endocrinologist, and new neurologist to help put these puzzle pieces together. I will also be seeing more of my physical therapist to gain even more muscular strength back.

I have gone through a battery of tests including a pint and a half of blood, three days worth of urine – yes, those damn little cups have return to drive me insane and give me “cup phobia.” Most people are scared of peeing in public but hey I have a thing for those little cups.

So with my new docs and new regimen of medication, all 15 of them, I plan to finish my recovery and begin formally pursuing my career/business, the foundation to help others with Cushing’s and other pituitary diseases or maybe getting the existing ones to hire me and let me improve some things. I do need a paycheck and soon so I am attacking this with a vengeance.

My current daily activities include writing my business website, working on at least three support groups daily, and writing my first book – no it is not about my disease and recovery. Some people will probably will not approve of what I am writing about but since they walked out on me during my battle with Cushing’s I have nothing to lose; I have already lost them.

You can’t force people to accept you and to embrace your hopes and dreams. I guess that is the hard lesson learned but I also learned you shouldn’t keep those people around and change our life to make them happy after all you have to live you life in the end right? I enjoy helping other patients and spending time with a wonderful man in my life and reading a good book and a hundred other things so I am not done living and plan to use my arsenal to get it all put together…

…wanna help?
