Fun Day today

Yesterday I went to my yearly cardiology appointment. I go every year because I have MVP (Mitral Valve Prolapse) where my mitral valve doesn't work properly so it leaks. I take meds daily for it so that my heart doesn't work harder than it has to work. I seem to be doing fine. Apparently, from my moniter last year that I never got results for, I had just normal palpitations. That's good. It means the meds are working and my heart is fine. I had mentioned to her that I get these night terrors of spiders in the bed every once in a while. It doesn't really bother me, but it scares the heck out of Randy when it happens. Normally I get the sensation that a spider has fallen on me from the ceiling, so I scream, do a combat roll in the bed, and begin beating the "spider" to death. Needless to say, it wakes me up (and Randy too). I usually go right back to sleep after it. So the doctor tells me yesterday that the meds I am on has been known to cause these types of things. Wow. Didn't know that. So she suggested that once I get my health back on track, we might try to switch me to another medication. I think we may try that.

I did mention the symptoms I have been having lately to her and she her first response was the same as Randy's doctor. Have you seen an Infectious Disease Specialist? I told her no. She recommended one to me and told me if I needed her to she would write me the referral. I am a little overwhelmed at the moment so I may do it on Monday. Today I have an appointment with the doctor for a surgery consult. My PCP said that I should have the lymph node biopsied. Woo hoo this should be fun. I go today at 2:30 for the consult. I guess I will know more after that.
