Its a funny thing about blogs that even if near to no one reads them you still feel a duty to post. I've been so bombarded with troubles that I couldn't even take time to vent here in a blog. My neurologist will be changing ironically to the doctor I had chosen myself before my primary sent me to the more expensive one. This neuro also specializes in sleep disorders which may mean its time to address my sleep paralysis events. I have had three within the past few months. Actually four...the last two involving realizing my dream was deteriorating and wanting out about the time that a animal would attack me. What is exceedingly strange to me is that I used to get the paralysis as I was falling asleep but these last four have come not only more often but been as I would wake up. I have never discounted the fact that though I did not show signs of apnea the sleep test came with strange brainwave results. My numbers for C-Anca have already doubled between tests enough for me to postulate it is connected to my yearly flare ups. Since the rheumatologist has reopened her practice I hope she can find something.
Another medical problem has been my back. Until a week ago I was immobile and in horrific pain. Seeking a second chiropractic opinion I found out I have a crushed disc that has been that way for at least a year. I was impressed by the neuromuscular exam the second chiropractor gave and also enraged that the other had been ignoring my obvious injury. It has taken quite a few techniques via YouTube to find one which works since mechanical decompression isn't covered by my medicaid.
College is another bother. I have just finished with a horrid teacher who apparently has some vendetta against high achieving students. I am fairly certain from talking to classmates and the teachers final words to us that more than half the class reported her to the Dean. I myself asked for a grade appeal and discrimination complaint. Neither did anything except for protect me from a malicious plagiarism comment she made which was unfounded. Given her comments that I should drop out I am not surprised that she would try a tactic which means automatic ejection from the entire school. Sadly I will have her as a professor one more time probably in next fall. I piped down in hopes that she will forget who I am and grade me fairly again in our next meeting.
