Yesterday I had a follow-up appointment with my tummy doctor. It turns out that whatever is going on in the tummy area is more serious than he thought at first. After some discussion, I decided to opt with another couple of weeks with natural treatments instead of jumping into some uncomfortable testing. I have several vitamins and other health pills to take (on top of the medication I'm already on--not that these will hurt, because it's really just fiber and other natural things, it's just a hassle). I'm supposed to try these new pills for a couple of weeks, and then we'll go from there.
I saw my eye doctor on the same day. Everything appears to be going fine, with no damage to my cornea despite dry eye and the autoimmune medicine I'm taking (which apparently can harm your eyes, in rare cases). We mentioned that we were waiting to get a referral to see the Rheumatologist. (Now that I'm eighteen, I can be seen by the one that's local.) My doctor was like, "Oh, I'll just put that in for you." We were like, "Wow, thanks!"
So I have an appointment with Rheumatology on Friday. It's sort of sad how easy that was.
I also have an appointment with my normal doctor sometime soon, but I've forgotten when.

I have an eye appointment coming up, and just got an appointment in with the Rhuematologist, too, finally!
Praying for you.. :)
Grace - I saw your earlier comment, and was very much encouraged. It's heartening to know that you're not alone in the world of getting diagnosed, you know? :) I get frustrated by blogger's comment system, since there's notification when someone replies, which is why I normally don't respond. But I hope the best for you, and will keep you in my prayers!
