Sorry it's been so long since I've blogged. I have been on a roller-coaster of symptoms for the last few months .. fatigue beyond belief, nausea, vomiting, weight-loss .. not a recommended diet plan .. itching, feet cramps, aching, bruising, bleeding, depression, the list goes on . . . . . . .
All and all nothing really changes .. I have good times and bum times .. but again, I'm still here.
I had my SSI interview yesterday .. turned down .. too many assets: I have a retirement plan that has $2500 in it. :-\ You are only allowed by Social Security to have $2000 in assets. So, I have to re-apply after I liquidate my assets and see if I qualify then.
New blood tests tomorrow .. checking liver function, vitamin levels, etc. Next appointment: May 23 with Kaiser Gastro (my first appointment with this group) .. lost my Providence Insurance when "administratively separated" from National College of Natural Medicine on January 8. Trying to pay out of pocket to continue seeing Dr. Jen Kearsley at Providence.
It's depressing. :-\
Hugs to you all.

Robert-
I stumbled on to your blog while looking for information on a former gastro. of mind Kent Benner. I read your story of events over the last few months. I am so sorry....it sounds like the disease is only one of your battles. Hang in there, and know that someone out here was touched by your story.
