I know... it is so frustrating to sit here in my recliner with my leg up, taking Ibuprophin and Tylenol alternately and praying that no blood clot develops! Let us not even talk about the PAIN! It keeps roving around in the leg, which has me really puzzled... and there are muscle twitches in it too. I honestly don't know what to think. But I do know that my sister has varicose veins and they have not been able to do much for her. She cannot even sit in a car for long distances, the pain is so bad for her.
I KNOW I need to lose weight. I gained a bunch of it over this winter, as I have not been able to get out much for walks. The weather has been strange... mold in the air, giving me a sinus infection that has lasted most of the winter on and off. THe the robins arrived, the daffodils started to bloom, I got HOPE and today it is snowing donkeys and horses! We already have 2 inches of the stuff and that was what they predicted, BUT! It is coming down STRONG still. Also, it is hard snow. It is crusty on top. That is slippery. And I need to take my dog out every 8 hours max, should be lesss really. NOT SAFE!!!
What I hate is that I cannot be sent to a Specialist until the Primary Care Physician sees me. I tried to get info on what kind of doctor I should see, but no help from a refferal service, they only refer you IF you KNOW what kind of doctor you need to see! And yet, my insurance company tells me that I don't need to see my regular MD first, that I can go to a Specialist directly. THe usual games... insurance trying to save money, dr. having found a loophope...
I am so frustrated!
