We called a Alternative Medicine Doctor today. She is someone that my parents-in-law know, and have gone to, and she’s supposed to be amazing.

I have a good feeling about it. If my Doctor’s can’t seem to figure out what’s wrong, maybe I need to find someone else who can.

I’ve come up with a few thoughts/things/ideas/not-sure-what-to-call-them. There is one theory (THEORY – that’s the word I was searching for) out there, that a big cause of miscarriage/infertility has to do with infections. When reading about the different symptoms of the different infections, I was surprised to see myself in some and to see Jon in others. The idea being that whatever we have, both of us probably have seeing as we “do it” from time to time! Basically, we just pass our little germ friends back and forth to each other. So, we both need to be treated with specific antibiotics, simultaneously! That way, the cycle is broken, and hopefully “whatever” has found a nice little home in our systems will have moved out and moved on.

The other thing that I was wondering about was the alternative/natural medicine side of things. This Doctor that my parents-in-law know is supposed to be really good, and the idea is that they treat the whole body, not just one little thing. You know, like saying that your thumb hurts, and putting a band aid on it, when your hand is actually broken. Treat the whole, not the part.

SO!!!!!! We called, and made an appointment, and I think that it will be worth it in the end, although right now I’m freaking out a little about the cost. It’s not the end of the world, just more than seems possible at this moment. It’s $70 for the initial visit, and $150 for the super-de-duper-blood screening process. That’s $230 plus GST for the initial visit. I know that when I’m holding a little baby it really won’t matter how much we spent, but right now when things are tight – well, it kinda takes your breath away!

My appointment is for next Tuesday. I’m excited, and stressed all at the same time.

I’m going for an interview with a Doctor tomorrow. Do you remember me saying that my Doctor was retiring from Family Practise, and so I have to find a new one???? I think I might have a couple of options?!? but the stress of it is not fun either. STRESS! STRESS!! STRESS!!! I seem to have it in bucket loads right now. The stress of the pain that I’m in although it’s not quite as bad as it was. That’s awesome, although the contant-ness of the little bit of pain is wearing. The stress of trying to find a new Doctor! The stress of trying out a different/non-traditional type of medicine! The stress of the cost of said “different/non-traditional” type of medicine!

How can I de-stress my life?? Is it even possible?

Well, I just need to live in the here and now for right here and now! Which brings me to dinner…….we gotta go to the “Meet the Teacher Night” tonight at the kids school! Seems pretty silly to me seeming as I’ve already met them all, but Oh Well! Off to figure out something quick for us to have for dinner.
