After having a hormonal dosage done, an Echo and a bunch of other tests, my gynecologist prescribed me Yaz (0.02 mg ethinylestradiol / 3 mg drospirenone). I had a tough time adjusting my organism to these pills in the first month (spotted/bled for about 3 weeks), but now i feel ok; the pains are considerably smaller and this is all i ever wanted. I still have to be careful about my micropolycystic ovary, but that's another story i can't do anything about yet since it's not that big of a deal. Thank you all for your input and support, it means a lot

a) Of course, i don't get seriously sick often, but when i do, i need an MRI scan! I have a swelling on my left sternoclavicular joint for about 4 months now and it got painful about 2 months ago (random pain, not related to effort). I went to an orthopedist since i thought it's a bone growth (in my mind it's always the worst), had an RX done which showed us nothing, therefore the need for an MRI. I followed a week of medication with Arcoxia 90 mg which stopped the growth process and reduced the pain to about 50%, but that's about it, i am still stuck with a visible bump and the rest of 50% pain. Since the RX was clear and shiny, it made me believe that the problem is not the bone, but the joint, so before i go and pay loads of money for an MRI scan i first want to check up with a rheumatologist. It is uncommon for something in this domain (arthritis, etc) to first occur in this particular joint, but not impossible.

I have a lot of them! They're the reason i'm not around that much anymore and won't be for at least 3 other months. I had Radiology yesterday and i slept 12 hours straight after i got home. I have another big one next week - Gastroenterology and after this one i'm taking a break and run to the seaside for the weekend to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday (vladimirnichita) and our 3 years anniversary (which means you won't see me at all from Thursday night to Monday evening). After this i'm back to study again. My summers suck. I apologize in front of my friends and people i work with in groups and whatnot, but these come up first and i need a break from the city and the books. And since i was more offline than online i have a huge pile of comments to check, so if you need to contact me with something important/urgent, please do so by note , the comments might get lost in the immensity of replies i haven't yet gone through : )
