So, I finally went to the Dr. yesterday. It’s been weeks since I felt like myself. My chest has been feeling very heavy and recently I have had some burning and coughing. Day before yesterday I finally made an appointment to see my doctor.
They said to come in yesterday and if it got worse overnight to go into the ER. So that’s what we did, we went into the office yesterday. Doc says I have Pleurisy. Which is basically just inflammation of the protective lining around the lungs. This is odd to me because normally an infection or some sort of trauma occurs to cause such a thing to happen. None of which has happened to me recently.
Disease can also be a factor, so now I am left to wonder if I have something else going on with my body. Rheumatoid Arthritis and Lupus were the two that stuck out in my mind, but I’m sure there are others. I have been having problems with a lot of joint pain an weakness lately, but I don’t want to be one of “those” kind of people, you know the ones who think every ache and pain means they are dying of some mysterious illness….
Anyway, there it is. I finally went to the Dr. and there was something wrong and we are hopefully fixing it.
See you around, til then,
