My day started off with me panting & gasping for air as I dressed & collapsed into a chair & then the couch saying how cold it was.  I wore my hubby's thick socks, my sweats & my sweater & was told it was 74*  in our house.  Everyone left for their normal day. I finally regained some of my breath & strength & wiped down the bathroom & did 2 days worth of dishes that  nobody had done for me. 

 

Around noon i called my neighbor & asked for his help I needed to go to the immediate care, I was afraid that I was going to faint with Crash my 4 yr old all alone here.  He came right over & dropped me off & babysat for hours. 

The immediate care did a chest xray & other stuff.  Based on the chest xray they said i had a pulmonary embolism. They wanted me to go straight to the ER not through regular admitting at the hospital & get a CT scan.  So again my neighbor & Crash came & waited until I was taken back to a room.  The CT showed no pulmonary embolism.  I was then told I was being scheduled for an MRI of my brain but wasn't told why.  SO then that came back & I was told I do not have MS, my brain & lungs are clear & I'm "an Enigma" according to the doctor.  Ok, well MS would have explained everything I've been going through so I'm a bit disappointed not to know what is causing all of this but glad to have clear lungs & a healthy brain (little do they know hahaha-kidding).  I'm not about to do a spinal fluid test nor was it suggested so..... Do insurance companies & SSD cover "Enigma's?  LOL...... Just my luck huh.  At least I'm "healthy" hahaha! DO You hear the sarcasm in my typing?   Hope all of you are doing well.
