The Good, the Bad & the Ugly
Hmmm what’s been going on?
Monday March 19th my jaw started getting sore & now its fully swollen. It’s formed a big hard painful knot over the right jaw joint, the left is only slightly swollen and not so intensely painful. I MIGHT have recurring (TMJD) TemporoMandibular Joint Disorder, or could be my cystic parotid glands getting inflamed constantly but it hurts like hell and makes using my mouth difficult so no BJ’s for my bf. 
I’ve some how pinched or injured a spot on my belly about a week ago. I’ve had a nasty BULLA or blood blister form its not really painful but its GROSS and its not going away. 
My left leg that I injured few weeks ago is still causing my leg and foot to swell and I have lump in the leg that’s causing a burning pain whenever it is touched so tomorrow afternoon I ‘m going to my primary to have the leg, jaw and blood blister checked out.
In the morning I have the 2nd of 3 boring classes. My doc signed me up for a diabetic nutrition-education program, though I Don’t have diabetes but have Hyperinsulimia/insulin resistance which can be a pre-diabetes condition if a person also have high blood sugar but I DON’T. My insulin level hasn’t been going down much with medication and i haven’t been losing weight like its supposed to do. So I guess she hopes the classes will help me lose weight? The Classes are boring because I Know pretty much everything they are teaching and more. One of my minor studies in college was nutrition and food science and I try and keep up on all latest nutrition,food science and medical info. so I know answers that the teachers don’t which annoys them quite a bit. 
People always make the assumption someone is fat/obese because they are ignorant about proper nutrition/proper eating. I don’t always eat as healthy as i should but I’m not fat from just gorging and binging. I do agree major portion of obese individuals do either eat too much or eat unhealthy food choices often times they even develop a chemical imbalance thats causes a “food addiction"but there is a small percentage of people who have weight issues because of Major medical problems And we take offense to someone just telling us to not eat so much.
I got Good news and Bad this afternoon. The good news after multiple submissions from both my Primary doctors office and my gastro doctors office my insurance finally is allowing me to go back on Nexium I’ve been on every other GERD drug and even the Prilosec has not been fully effective. Since the endoscopies of my throat and stomach shows I do have erosions I definitely need the Nexium because it is the only drug known and approved for healing and preventing this kind of gastric damage.
Bad news I was denied AGAIN for SSI. I was kind of pissed off looking over the denial and they didn’t even look at any of the tests I’ve had in the last 3 months! So I need to get copies of all the tests from last few months which I do ask every facility or specialist for and have NOT been getting. So I asked my primary doc office to make me copies about 2 weeks ago so hopefully they will have that done tomorrow. Then I need to make copies of EVERYTHING again and I’m gonna try and make an outline.
Then I go see my lawyer, we do an appeal and I send the complete organized outline, highlighted file so the so called medical claim reviewer won’t overlook, miss or Ignore any info.
