Because you want to know.

One of the symptoms of my “mystery ailment” that really bugs is my inability to pee. I have the hardest time sometimes, I can’t go all the way.. or it takes forever. In the last few weeks this problem has been annoying. In the last two days this problem has been excrutiating. Hello UTI.

I went to see my doc today. He gave me more pills to take. Just what I always wanted, to take handfuls of pills all day long. That only treat the symptoms, not the cause.

Do I sound bitter? Jaded? I am. I’m trying not to be. But I’ve been sick for so freaking long, to still not even know what is wrong. I asked the doc what might be done about what is causing all this and let him know I am tired of treating the symptoms and not the cause- he said, “I need to see another MRI”. And so, on Tuesday, I shall call and schedule my next MRI. And then I’ll wait two or three weeks and have it. Then I’ll wait another week and maybe, just maybe get diagnosed. Finally. Or not.

Whatever. I guess things happen for a reason, right?
