Please State the Nature of the Medical Emergency!

As you can guess from above I found myself once again watching through the first two seasons of Voyager on Netflix. Somewhat as I expected my initial flare up this year has led to some small wakes that have sent me to the hospital twice. The hospital seems reluctant as ever to put much effort into anything diagnostic. I don't blame them considering the insipid nature of whatever nonsense I'm actually suffering from.

My hematologist is still pulling up the heroic effort of diagnosis. We've moved back into the realm of cancer possibilities which kind of sucks. As he said "Your condition is not fully developed yet" which probablly explains the delay in diagnosis. What we are working with this time is the knowledge that I have secondary polycythemia following the larger attack. This would follow the para protein to multiple myeloma model that originally brought me to him as a patient. The neurologist is presuming to test for Lyme disease and Sojgern's Syndrome due to the absence of Ana specific marks in my spinal/blood. I still find it rather funny that when they drew the fluid it's color and translucence had them assuming it was pointlessly normal. Under lab evaluation however my sample is simply blooming with markers and contaminates. Another interesting fact is that I came across by accident in my web search a poly neuropathy caused almost entirely just by the presence of a specialty para protein. Now mine specifically is related to myeloma which is all I know for sure. I'd like to address the polycythemia's cause since that is a likely connection to cancer ie. a hormone secreting tumor. Also there is then interesting mention of COPD as a cause which may indicate something about my heart and lung stress along with exercise intolerance is more legitimate than I knew. I would certainly never sing on stage again in my life with my lack of breath control. Perhaps I could use a pair of holographic lungs. Maybe a holographic gallbladder would be more appropriate to help my digestion which is exactly why I'm posting so early in the morning. Dinner went somewhat counterintuitive towards then end. Luckily the nausea spell was a short one with minimal to no vomiting for once. Post Cholesectomy syndrome perhaps.
