Improved Health

[OnlySunshine]

Thank you to everyone who has prayed for my intentions in the last few weeks.  I know I've been posting quite a bit, but your prayers have definitely helped and I feel like I'm on the road to becoming healthy again - both mentally and physically.  Things are definitely starting to look up at work and I'm doing my best to show them I still want to work there.  Yesterday, I self-initiated a project that I've wanted to do for a LONG time - re-organize the staff mailboxes.  We've had so many staff changes lately, that the mailboxes right next to my desk have looked awful for months now.  Yesterday, I borrowed the label maker and used my extra time to make them nice and neat again.  The 3 of the assistant managers - including the one who gave me the verbal warning - and 1 HR manager already thanked me for it, so I'm hopeful that will help me.

Also, I've made several doctor's appointments for the next month - psychiatrist, endocrinologist, neurotologist (specialist ENT), and ophthalmologist.  I have routine visits with my GP and OB/Gyn, too, in the next 2 weeks.  Hopefully, with the right balance of medication and therapy, I'll be feeling better in no time.  I'm really hoping the endocrinologist can help me balance my hormones so I can prevent more ovarian cysts from forming since my OB/Gyn only seems to prescribe birth control, which does not work for me and causes more problems.  This endocrinologist specializes in PCOS, too.  

I also hope that the neurotologist can provide more insight into my problems with dizziness and sensorineural hearing loss.  The last ENT said that it was likely migraine-associated vertigo and referred me to a neurologist, but I would like a second opinion.  Migraine-associated vertigo and Meniere's disease share many of the same symptoms and MD runs in my family.  Neurotologists are better equipped to diagnose MD than regular ENTs, too.  Sensorineural hearing loss is one symptom that I've been diagnosed by the audiologist with that sets MAV and MD apart - only MD causes that specific hearing loss, so I think the other ENT missed that on the audiogram.  I will likely require further tests that are more specific to diagnosing MD and/or other balance problems.  This specialist ENT gets amesome reviews from patients with balance/hearing disorders.
