hey all,

Sorry I haven't had a chance to read and reply to your posts. I've been busy, sick etc.

Well yesterday I had an appt with my doctor. My test results are still inconclusive and haven't found a cause for my night sweats. Although My blood showed raised calcium and protein, so my dr thinks it may be something to do with my immune system. Even though my HIV test was negative, it can be some other immunological disorder. So pending what the next tests show(they take about 3weeks to get back), she wants to send me to an immunologist, so that they can look more into it. ahhh it wears me down, travelinbg here there and everywhere, getting poked and prodded. I just want an answer, as if depression and anorexia nervosa aren't enough. Plus while I was seeing her, my heart went into an arrhythmia, so she did an ECG, although by the time I was hooked up it stopped, although there was something that showed up on the ECG, she wasn't to worried about it. She also prescribed me stilnox, to help me sleep- cause the night sweats keep me awake. If anyone uses this- can they tell me what it's like.

One good thing is I felt my sisters baby kick (bestest feeling ever) for the first time- she is 27 weeks.

love em
