Bio

My names Vanessa and I’m attending College to eventually become a Great Doctor. I’m taking it slow because I’ve been force to face obstacles that most people wouldn’t be able to handle. When I was 20, I was diagnosed with a rare neurological condition called Stiff Person Syndrome, and because of that I’ve had to put some things in hold to be able to overcome what I’ve got to face. I attended Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio for two years as Biology Pre Med major. I miss OLLUSA, but hope to go back someday to finish off what I started. If not I’m sure I’ll be able to get my degree elsewhere and get to achieve what I hope to become.

I love my family even though they annoy the crap out of me sometimes. They are a big part of my life no matter what they say or do sometimes, and with that said I will always love them. Lately we have been able to start up a new company that has brought our family closers than ever. My friends also play a big role in my life because without them sometimes I don’t know what to do. They are able to keep my world center when it’s all over the place. Over the past years I’ve lost too many people in my life and have learned so many lessons along the way, so it’s been hard to get through it all. With all that said I’ve gotten though it all with the help of my family and friends. I hope someday I’ll be able to help those who have helped me get though it all and that’s from all the small things to all the big things we’ve been through.

And with all that said I guess you can tell that my family and friends mean the world to me!

Everything looked good heart rate a little high, but she said nothing to worry about. Endocrinologist was second... Blood work came out so so... sugar where getting better, but not great! Allergist came in third... Lung where OK she wanted to start me a new medication called Zolar for my allergies and to improve my lung function. Exam when OK just with my heart rate going crazy again! She took a note of it and sent it to my PCP. Then Last came my neuro... Spasms were OK kinda... medication was starting to work better so she gave me the all clear! Finally got registered for school and got ready for a long semester... Who would have though long would be the understatement of the year. Once school started I had the regular mumbo jumbo about me being and getting sick which got straighten out with one phone or letter cant remember from my PCP. Classes ...

Let’s try this one more time!

Let’s try this again... I’m going to try to do a post each week or month at least. That’s my goal!!! Not going to lie a bit long... Last month I went to the neurologist, and got news that I could be having either be having a flare up or having a relapse. For the past couple of months I had been feeling off with more spasms and pain the usual. I can usually take pain pretty good by now, but there were days I just couldn’t move felt frozen in my own body. So after New Year I had IVIG scheduled for Thursday, Friday, Monday, and Tuesday. Well during the weekend I had a party to attend out of town. Honestly I don’t think I did much during the party but it did run late. Both days I felt fine no problem with IVIG side effects nothing, but then came Monday first of all I had to wake up early to go get blood drawn. When I went in I asked for I don’t know how to explain it. You know when they tell you that you know your body the best I just had this feeling to ask them to run my GAD levels ...
