More weight loss, but an issue
Well I went to the Doctor's yesterday for a weight in. I have lost 1 lb and 1/2. So I'm working on it. Slowly.
I have had, however, a blow. I have to go for a lot of testing to verify, but I have Pseudotumor. or what is known as Intercranial Hypertension. Lamen terms I have excess spinal fluid on my brain. The pain and pressure that i thought was a migraine is in fact a rare disorder that hits young women who are over weight. There is no known cause of it, but there is a fix. Lossing about 100lbs. I spoke with my PCP and she said that after we get the definate finds from the tests, it could up my surgery time. This disorder could cause me to go blind.
I have a lot to do. I have to have two MRIs and a spinal tap to determine it. I will keep everyone up date on what is going on. Please keep me and my family in your prayers. Thank you
Sarah- oh my! I'm sorry you are going through this. I hope and pray for resolution to your problem. Please keep up posted.

Dear Sarah, Be assured that you have my prayers during this time and know that God is with you in these difficult moments. If you want to talk to a minister and do not have one, send me a private message and I will refer you to my dear friend Ann, who is a pastor in Thomaston and is quite wonderful.
Well i went to the eye drs and he confirmed what the nuerologist said. He can see some, minor, damage to my eyes. I have all the classic symptoms and stuff for the IH. I have spoken with Lynn and she is going to see what she can do to help move this a long. I am also waiting on a sleep study. I have my consult next week here in Rockland. I am going see if there is any way that he can get me into a sleep study ASAP after i meet with him. Then it will just be the Psych eval holding me up. I have two appointments in Bangor. one on the 23 and the other on Aug 7. Than kyou all for your prayers. i am trying to hold strong through all of this. I am going to be recruiting friends to help me out with the kids on weekends and at night. I won't be able to lift my two year old so Things will work out on thier own I know. I will keep you all updated on what is going on.
Thanks and I can't wait to see you all on the losers bench.
