My thoughts will be with you Lut. {hugs}

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

THANK YOU both!!
I am absolutely NOT looking forward to this.
I am sure lots of you remember all the tests I went through lately, and last year. I have infections everywhere in all joints, but docs cannot find what causes this. Thanks to Prednisone, the pain is much more bearable now; but it is just a cover-up: as soon as I stop taking it, it will all be back.
So it is very important to find the cause!!!
I am changing hospitals now, as my docs haven't found what they are looking for. So they send me to the University Hospital (Academic) in Ghent. This hospital is very famous, it has the best doctors . It is where new doctors-to-be follow their education!
The reason why I don't feel very much like going, is because they will start all over again... . I am bringing a whole bag of information from all thopse tests I had. But I am afraid that they will want to do it all again.... . Money money money.....

I am readyto leave now. I will report as soon as I am back.

[Alysser]

I hope you feel better very soon!

[Sara luvs her Tinky]

oh no.. i'm sorry Lut.

Praying you get a good report today..!

[Killearn Kitties]

Very, very best of luck today, Lut. I really hope they find some leads to follow up.

[Lilith Cherry]

God bless you Lut! I hope they find it is something simple and easy to deal with.. lots of good thoughts from China!

[Laura's Babies]

Hope this new hospital finds the source of infection and can get you feeling better soon!

UPDATE!

I am back home now. It was just as I expected. The doc read all the stuff I brought with me, looked at the X-rays, then examined me. The good news is that he won't re-do all the tests, which is a huge relief . But he wants some other tests, like a "bone-scan". I was lucky to get an appointment for this tomorrow already! I have to be there at 10.30am. I will get an injection( it is something "nuclear). Then I may leave the hospital, and I have to come back at 2 pm. They will take that bone-scan then. I don't know what he expects to find there; but I am happy this is a test I never had before. So, who knows.... . He wants to see me again on April 3th. Normally we are not home then, as we rented an appointment at the seaside for a week. But Ghent is only 1 hour drive from there, so it is fine for us; and my hubby will be with me too then, so that is even better.

Let's hope they find what is wrong asap, because the meds I am taking now are very strong, and also addictive!

Thanks for all the support!!

So we've got to think about you tomorrow too?! That's OK, we can do that. Best of luck again tomorrow, Lut. I hope they find something soon that they can treat, instead of just the pain-killers.

[Randi]

Lut, I'm glad to hear that you won't have to have all the tests again - that must be a relief. I really hope that they find the cause of your pain and can do something about it! It's awful having to be on medication.

I wish you the best of luck for the bone scan and your next appointment!
