ELeVan ~ Honaker Farm Journal

I am so happy for K and B and for you too! I think it is wonderful that they have someone who cares as much as you do. :hugs to all of you.
 
I had an appointment with a hematologist today. More testing is required but I'm not sure he knows what to make of me. I told my mom that I'm calling in my warranty and that I must go back in immediately for repairs. :rolleyes:
 
Oh I'm sure she loved that :lol: That is great news about you and your kiddos!! It brought tears to my eyes. I'm so happy for y'all. And as far as the call from the teacher, hey, 7 days into the school year is better than the first day and there is always duct tape :)

and :tongue to the B&B woman who said your stuff tasted bad.

Dont you have pretty bad migraines? I have Hughs Syndrome.....it's linked to migraines, low potassium and some research has pointed to it lessening the bodies ability to process Vit d properly. Google it and see what you think.

My blood has the opposite problem - it's thin and I bleed longer than I should.

I have to have a platelet assay, von willebrand factors and a couple of other tests done.

I've never been a normal case for any of my doctors so I don't expect figuring things out to be a simple process. Quite frankly I've yet to see something that "feels" right when I read it. And I've always sort of self diagnosed first because my gut intuition pulled me a certain direction and I forced doctors to do the tests to confirm. This one is weird though.

Most pressing symptoms right now:
Fatigue (extreme - may be due to vitD issue), increased bleed time, vitamin D deficiency (may or may not be a part of it), easy bruising.

The thing is that a lot of the issues that I have health wise can be attributed to the vitD and if we can get it up then they may clear up.

The increased bleed time and easy bruising are new issues (last few months). The hematologist is wavering because most people with bleeding disorders have them for life or they have an underlying disease that causes them. I don't have any (known) underlying disease and up until a few months ago never had a problem with these things.

I've had pretty major surgeries in the past so if I'd had this life long then it would have come up before now.

Oh and my potassium levels are fine. The only vitamin that I have a deficiency in is vit D. :/
 
I see.

You should make sure that your prothrombin levels have been checked, and your vit k level in a thorough blood chem

Dont be afraid to ask about these two......they are often overlooked.

I mentioned Vit K too but she said her Vit K level were normal.
 
Migraine this morning. Fighting through it. I highly suspect it's my 1st cervical joint and I cannot get into the chiropractor until next Tuesday as he's going on vacation! :barnie

Gotta be quiet ... shhhh ... it's one of those migraines that sound and sunlight are killing me with. For some reason the computer isn't bothering me which is good cause I have to be stuck in my bedroom to keep to the darkest room. Just hope the kids can keep quiet. They're shut in their room too with instructions to be quiet and don't leave the door open (sunlight from their window could pour into my room otherwise) or else.

I sent B out to release the poultry this morning. It was his first time doing that so he was quite proud of himself. Though he had to stand on a bucket to release the pin that keeps the duck's coop door shut and then he had trouble with refastening the chicken's coop door. And of course the steer took the opportunity of B being the one out there to try to go into the coop :rolleyes: Poor B had his hands quite full but managed to get the job done.

Oh, speaking of B, I forget to mention that he will be entering 3 of his photographs into an art exhibit for kids under 10. They'll be on display at a local gallery and then will circulate through the county libraries until the end of the year. It's quite exciting. We've already decided on one of the pics. It's the very first pic he took when he was just 2. It's a picture of the sky but somehow it turned out looking like a Super Nova. It's really cool.

Do y'all want to help him pick the other 2 pictures to submit? Go here . Then come back to my journal and link to the pictures that you think are best.

He's not submitting for a prize or anything. It's just to show off young artists (of any medium) in the county.
