But now I have all sorts of other medical stressors:
- Thyroid cancer mysteries. What the hell is going on in my neck? We keep repeating ultrasounds and get conflicting reports - bigger, smaller, same size.
- Back pain. Degenerating disks to start with and living on pain meds.
- Fibromyalgia. This isn't fun. I need to go back to my back pain doctor.
- The spell check on my computer includes oncologist, endocrinologist, rheumatologist, and multiple medications.
- I have a special directory on my cell phone of all my doctor's contact information and have their secretaries' names memorized.
- I see my oncologists less than I see some of my other doctors.
- I feel like I know the pharmacists at the local Walgreen's.
- The nurses in the interventional pain center where they do injections recognize me.
- I can't fit all my prescriptions on my bedside table and keep them on the shelf in my closet.
- My primary care doctor is happy when she doesn't see me more than every few months.

How about Caroline's Blog? Is that available? That would leave you open to any topic.
