It isn’t easy to have been a patient of Multiple Sclerosis for 24 hours a day without any holidays all the year round. But everyone can spend every day’s life happily like me. Good luck.

I haven't written this report for long time, but I'm fine.

I went to a hospital and got the CT-scan inspection of the adrenal gland. After that, I met the gynecologist. She said that I needed to get an examination on the internal examination stand. I hadn’t ridden on it, so it was one of the most horrible experiences in my life. I felt like a frog that was dissected. I wasn’t pregnant. The gynecologist said that there was no problem, and she recommended me to get an examination of cancer of the womb. I accepted it.

After the endocrinologist saw the result of the inspections, he said that there was no practical problem, but he recommended me to get the CT-scan inspection of the adrenal gland. And he said that although there was no problem in the ovary, but there was a small something in the womb, he recommended me to see the gynecologist. Have I been pregnant?

My beard problem hasn’t been solved yet, but the other problem is cleared by the medical inspections. A male hormone testosterone that was suspected as the reason of beard was normal. But the stress hormone cortisone was higher than its normal level. It means that I’m in the strong stress. Terrible . . .

After I finished working until noon, I went to a hospital to take the abdomen echo inspection. I hadn’t had any foods since the last night.

I went to a hospital to take blood sample this morning without breakfast and medicines. After that, I went to the office to work.

I met an endocrinologist at a hospital today. He typed my data into the computer system to order many medical inspections one after another. He thought that there could be a problem in the hypophysis, the adrenal gland, or the ovary. And he typed that “there is a tendency to become a male.” Is it true!? Anyway, I get many medical inspections from the day after tomorrow.

I went to a hospital, and told to my doctor that the beard had grown since last summer. I was not worried about the beard, because there was no problem practically. But recently I need to shave it every morning, and it isn’t wrong to say that it becomes a problem. I asked to the doctor if I had a menopausal disorder, and he said it was out of the question. At the result, he recommended me to see an endocrinologist.

I took a day off in order to take procedure of the subsidy of the intractable illness patients' medical expenses at the city hall. There was no problem, so I will be able to get it also this year.

I went to a hospital today to receive a medical certificate in order to apply for getting the subsidy of my medical expenses to Tokyo metropolitan government. After Ishihara Shintaro became a governor, the welfare subsidies were abolished or decreased; and the subsidy of the intractable illness patients' medical expenses was one of them. The medical certification became very complicated, and it bothers doctors very much, because all of patients need it at the same time. My doctor said that he had to write it more than 100 in this month. That seems a harassing to avoid spending taxes for the patients who need the medical subsidy. And I had no time to take procedure at the city hall after that.

I went to a hospital today, and I met a doctor. He said that I seemed well, and that I could make an effort more also after that. He made me take blood samples to check of my health condition. Although I was tired as usual, I had been tense, so he thought that I was fine. I’m fine actually, but tired because of job. My doctor said that I have to take care not to catch a cold at summer season. So you have to do the same thing. Good luck.

I went to a hospital today, and received a prescription. It was a regular matter and I’m fine recently. However, it continues that I have to work hard. Medicines keep me well. Situation doesn’t change. Please take care to keep your health condition.

I went to a hospital today, and received a prescription for two months. I'm tired still now, but I’m getting used to this situation. Sometimes I think that I would like to become health a little bit more.

I went to a hospital today, and got a prescription for two months.  I’m tired very much. I wonder how long this situation would continue.

I took a day off, and I went to a hospital today. I’m exhausted, because I have to work very hard recently. So I had no medicines, because I didn’t go to a hospital. I felt that my body was painful too much. Moreover, I have lost my weight little by little since this summer. I told it to my doctor, and he gave me a prescription for two months. Thus I don’t need to take a day off until December in order to go to a hospital. After I took medicines, I felt better than before. I decided not to work too much after this.

I fell on the way to a station this morning. I hadn’t fallen for almost 7 years, so I was surprised. I came home once, changed a suit, and went to an office by a taxi. I said nothing about it to anyone, because I was in time. I worked overtime, because I was busy very much. I wonder when busy time would finish. I'm tired . . .

I went to a hospital today, and received a prescription. I work very busy recently, and my weight is decreasing day by day. I would have liked to talk about it with my doctor, but he was in summer vacation. This summer is too hot, and I can't sleep well. I stay up late, and work overtime almost everyday. I'm exhausted.

I went to a hospital today to receive a medical certificate in order to apply for getting the subsidy of my medical expenses to Tokyo metropolitan government. After Ishihara Shintaro became a governor, the welfare subsidies were abolished or decreased; and the subsidy of the intractable illness patients' medical expenses was one of them. The medical certification became very complicated, and it bothers doctors very much, because all of patients need it at the same time. My doctor said that he had to write it more than 100 while this month. That seems a harassing to avoid spending taxes for the patients who need the medical subsidy.

Of course I thank for citizens of Tokyo, because I receive their taxes as the medical subsidy. I can work now, so that I pay taxes the same as a healthy person. However, when I'm in bad condition, I can't work, so I have no income then. Thus I need the medical subsidy. If you are health, please don't forget that there are many patients or people who need help. And I would like Ishihara governor to think about us deeper than now

I went to a hospital this morning, and met my doctor. There was no problem, and I received a prescription as usual. I feel pain on my left leg still now, though. After that I met a friend, and watched Kabuki together.

I went to a hospital today, and I received a prescription as usual. After that,  I met an orthopedist, and bought a new device for my left leg. Two years ago, I bought the same one for my right leg, but I need it for my left leg too, because I feel pain on my left leg recently. May be I would need another device for my right arm after two years. The new one has cost 13,180 yen, but I can get 70% of its expenses from health insurance later. However, it doesn't change that it is very expensive. I think that I would like people to know that it is very difficult to have an illness. This website is one of the methods of it

I went to a hospital today, and received a prescription as usual. There was no problem. By the way, honestly, I'm a smoker. When I went to a  hospital last month,  I found a message that the smoking room would be closed from April. I went to the smoking room today, and found that the smoking room had still opened. Smoking is a bad habit actually, and nobody will be able to find a place to smoke in the near future. Although I'm not a serious smoker, I would become sad a little then.

I went to a hospital this afternoon, and received a prescription. I intended to go there in this morning, but I couldn't get up in time. I work not so busy recently, but I think that I'm tired, because I worked very busy until last month.
