Having my spinal tap today.  Very nervous.  Found out yesterday I have to have a STAT hysterectomy on Monday.  Could this year get any worse??  Take care, everyone.  You are all in my prayers. ...

Had an ultrasound last Thursday due to abdominal pain.  They found lesions on my liver.  I don't know if these have any connection to the ones found on my brain.  I will meet with the gyno next...

Since the c-spine was clear, it's on to a spinal tap.  They are going to schedule it for early September. Although I dread it, I am glad they are going to do it because there is always that question...

The right side of my head keeps going numb, and when it wears off, my right eye is dry for a long time even though I can blink just fine.  Good thing I transcribe for an ophthalmologist.  He gave...

My C-spine was clear of lesions.  Is that very common in people with MS? I do have multiple lesions on my brain, and one was "significant" as my neuro put it.  I haven't seen the neuro yet.  I got...

Went to the neuro today.  He said he is "80% sure it is MS"  however, he wants me to have an MRI of the spine, which I am hoping to schedule for early next week, and possibly a lumbar puncture to...

Well, my eye doesn't hurt anymore, but now I have this annoying twitch of my left eyelid.  ARGH! Can't wait to see my neuro. I hope everyone here is doing well. My son and I pray for you every...

I thihk I'm developing optic neuritis.  Last night my right eye started aching.  It hurts more when I look around.  When I don't move it, it is just a dull ache.  If it still hurts tomorrow I...

Thanks for the hugs and the warm wishes.  My son and I pray for you all every night.  I am doing better now that I have a muscle relaxer to take at night.  It's amazing how much better I function...

Been very busy this past week. I hope the weekend is not as busy as last weekend. I broke down and started pain medicine last night. My doc prescribed Robaxin. I took it at 6 p.m. and was in pain...

I managed to get my charts caught up yesterday. Lost a day's work due to the out-of-town trip (that was a total waste).  Just as I finished the last chart note my lower arms started to go numb and...

So sorry I didn't write sooner. That neuro was an arrogant quack.  Didn't even read the notes the rheumatologist sent, said the radiology report was useless (even though the radiologist wrote at the...

Going to see the new neuro today. Running on three hours of sleep.  Ugh. Glad I wrote everything down.  Let's hope I get some answers and not a lot more questions. I just want him to explain how I...

Feeling better today. It's been nice to have a break so that my hands can rest. Trying to drag myself out of this hazy sleepiness so I can function properly. Very excited to be seeing the neuro...

Sorry for the long absence, but I had a bad week. Got desperate and called some of my family in another town, and they got in touch with a neuro there who is going to see me next Friday, as opposed...
