Here's an update on what has been going on in the last week or so. There is still an issue with my kidneys or bladder that is causing me not to be able to pee at all unless my bladder is completely full and even then I really have to strain. Dr. Mitchell has ruled out infections and had an ultrasound done of my kidneys and bladder last week.
I have an appointment with her on Friday to go over the results along with the results from the tilt table testing I had done on Monday. She has referred me to a neurologist for the migraines but that office hasn't called me yet.
Besides the kidney/bladder issue I had been doing really well the last several weeks- I was eating quite a bit and a balanced diet. I was also exercising at least every other day including a pilates class each week and getting out with friends at least once a week if not more. I'm really ready to get back to that but the tilt table test really flared everything up which is probably worse then it has been in at least 4 or 5 months. The test was done on Monday and even though I'm slowly getting back to eating and daily living things, the last two days I was so weak that I couldn't sit up, I had one of the worse headaches I've ever had, very little sleep, dizziness, vomiting, the works. Luckily I was finally able to get some Gatorade down last night or I would have to go get IV fluids today. I'm hoping that I continue to make improvements each day like I have the last two days but it really sucks especially with the weather being so nice and me being stuck in the bed for days on in.
