She wants me to come back to her Dec 5 and get new Xrays 2 days before that. The lesson is this is listen to your body - if you were getting better and then start to feel worse, you need to go back to the doctor. Yesterday the exhaustion was better and today its back.
Thanks for sharing all that good med information. 'hope you are feeling better. I had a gut feeling to cancel a CT scan this week, as I've been recovering from a round of food poisoning; the body does need time to heal. So true, also about getting better; then feeling worse. I'm getting a pneumococcal vaccine to protect against getting pneumonia. I did some research on CT scans with contrast this morning: the normal daily dose we get from the environment is 3 msr's per year; with ONE CT scan, the body gets 30 times that, or 30 years worth of average radiation in one shot. Wow. And it can cause cancer. Anyway, I got onto a tangent, sorry. Hope all is well with you; thanks again for sharing. That info helped me.
