I am looking for a Ruby OW, I know these are hard to come by, but I would love to have one and thought Id ask 🙂
Also, I am looking for the Flame red curled to go with my growing curled collection 🙂
Thank you so much everyone! 🙂
I am getting ready to go in a few hours. I dread the drive more then the MRI itself 😛First I really want to thank you for all the information! I read the info to my husband this morning when he got up and he was shocked as well. He said 90% of that fits all that I have been going through.
The rheumatologist was very interested during the exam and she gave me a very good and complete exam. Though after all that she went back to the X-rays and told me that I didn’t have rheumatoid arthritis and then is referring me back to the neurologist with the MRI. Though she is also sending me to do a scope for my left knee. So she was pretty much passing me off on someone else. I think a lot of the problem is I speak English and they Speak it pretty well but I think there is something lost at times.
I will really push the next one I see about this, there is also a fantastic doctor locally that is very interested in my case I may get in to see him and see what he can do as well.The problem with Finland is they don’t have all the little extra things here like in the US. Like when getting the x-rays they don’t give you the little gown, lol. So you cant be too modest here 😛 The last MRI I had done was in a huge truck that travels, so they didn’t have the little mirror or music or anything. So I don’t think they will have any other options for open MRI’s. This time though its at the hospital and they said I could bring my own CD to listen to though. So I am taking the new Nightwish, hehe.
I will let them know I am claustrophobic so they will be aware. I usually try to focus on something else, last time wasn’t too bad but it wasn’t fun either 😛
I hope that the doctors apt wont take as long to get into as the last one. Last time I had to wait 6 months 🙁Though if this is what I may have its not a great outlook, but to at least know what is wrong would give me hope and some future.
PT my heart goes out to you to know what you are going through 🙁 MY prayers and thoughts are with you and your family! I hope the move goes well and you settle in with ease. Thank you again for your time and all the information! *Huge hugs*!

Thank you hon, it would be wild if they just helped me find out what it is! 🙂
I dont know if I will relax, but the eyes closed is for sure 😛Ok my jaw just hit the floor! I went to look that up and OMG!!! Not only does that explain the pains, but also the heavy menstrual and why after I eat I have intestinal pains. Along with a few other things that I thought odd but never though it was part of the same thing.
So how do they diagnose this? When i see the doctor I will ask them to do the tests for this. I am just floored that this sounds identical so most of the things I have been going through.
Once I was putting a pillow case on my pillow and my muscles on my left side completely contracted. My cell phone was in the living room and I half crawled there to call my husband. It took about 2 days to get over that. Things like that happen from time to time.
I even made a chart for the doctor I went to last time to help her understand.

They have done some type of touch test and other odd tests. They run things down my legs and ask if the feeling is the same on both. Though I noticed that the left side has less feeling then the right one. They also had me close my eyes and touch my nose, but I couldn’t get. Then had me stand and close my eyes with my head back arms out. My husband was in the room with me, since I don’t speak Finnish. He said I was swaying all over, I could not tell I was moving. All of this was when I went to the Neurologist.I really am not looking forward to the MRI as I am a bit claustrophobic.[/list]
I know we have a lot of bad luck going on lately. I hate to add to the list, but I need some good luck wishes, on Monday I am having a MRI in to ongoing process of trying to find out why I have serve back pain. This has been going on for almost 4 years, in which I have had X-Rays and MRI on my back and it showed nothing (The spine and nerves was fine). They also did a lumbar puncture which was clear. So now they are moving to my neck, and if nothing shows there then they are going to MRI my hip area. Ive been to the surgeon, Neurologist, arthritis specialist, and now back to the Neurologist 🙁
I went to the arthritis clinic last week and the good news is its not rheumatoid, bad news is I’m back at square 1.
Being a graphic artist and working for myself has been very difficult as I count on how much work I do to how much I make. Sitting at my desk has become very painful and reflects in how much work I get done. Its also very frustrating having this go on so long with no answers. I love Finland, but at times it takes so long to get to see the doctors it gets me down at times. I just want some answers 🙁
I also worry about being on the pain medications(Tramadol also called Tramal, Panadol, and Panacod a type of codeine) for such a long time.
Please wish me luck in finishing some answers soon
😕Actually I haven’t been able to work on this the last few days. I’m going for an MRI on Monday. I’m nervous about it, so I’m having problems getting things done.
I will try to get back to working on the pictures on Tues or Weds.I like the ones with the black you did, I just have to change them 🙂
