Feb. 28th, 2014 02:08 pmTHANKS FOR NOTHING DR. NO NEWS.
The doctor called me today and said "Well, it's not as straightforward as I'd hoped."
Which is right up there with her "At least it's not MRSA!" remark from our first meeting for reassuring only somehow...not. I do really like her, she's just a little odd. Also let's not lie, she totally hoped it would be super-complicated and interesting. I hope at least she gets to publish something out of this.
So it still could be Lupus, or possibly rheumatoid arthritis -- she asked a lot of questions about my joints -- but they're doing more tests and she'll call at some point next week when she knows more. It's not shingles, so at least my mum will stop sending me homeopathic remedies for herpes zoster. I was starting to get a complex.
Also, for the love of god, we have antibiotics for this. I know we're supposed to be sparing in our use of antibiotics because of, actually, MRSA, but I think for SHINGLES we get to make an exception.
So, the beat goes on, and me and my massive bruise and visibly prominent bandage and mysterious disease named Damien are going to spend the weekend inside, because it's supposed to be snowpocalypse again tomorrow.
