Today I had my MRI (April 23rd) in Provo at Central Utah Clinic. My aunt Melissa watched my kids for me which helped a ton!! I got there and they fit me right in. I got changed in scrubs that were WAY too big for being SMALLS...haha! Then they started my IV but had to poke a couple times. My poor veins are about shot to heck. I went in for the first MRI which last about 45 minutes. Then they pulled me out and put a neck brace thing around me and I was in for another 70ish minutes. By that time I had to pee so bad I could hardly stand it. When I thought I was done they came in to give me the contrast through my IV to see the brachial plexus. Thank heavens that one only lasted about 20-30 minutes or I was seriously going to pee my pants--it was torture!! It was pretty simple, they discontinued my IV and rushing to my aunt Melissa's to grab my kids before I had to go teach.
About to Payson I got real nauseated. I had to pull over and started throwing up. Luckily my kids were asleep but I sat there and cried. I was so sick, my class was going to start, I text about every person I could think of to sub for me. No luck--everyone was busy. I called Kiersten bauling and asked if she would sub for me. I felt so alone and she definetly heard me at a weak time I was at. She said she would and I was so thankful--no words could explain. I know it was the contrast that made me sick because by the time I got to Nephi I felt a lot better. I dropped my kids off to Peggy's and I visited with her for awhile then taught the rest of my days dance classes.
I have had so much anxiety lately and having a hard time sleeping. I am anxious to hear how the results are and what the next step will be. My circulation has been really crappy lately and I am getting more bruising. My hands are so swollen each morning and hurt like crazy :(
I know I am having a Scleroderma flare and really feel all of my symptoms stem from it. I do not feel like I have a new nerve or muscle disease but I feel it's all caused from Scleroderma. I should hear more hopefully tomorrow when I go up for my Echocardiogram and Pulmonary Function Test.
