Thanks so much for all of your well wishes and concern.

I too thought about meningitis, but there is no fever, unusually severe headache or nausea, so I think that it is just spasticity and inflammation. Will mention it to the neuro when I talk with him later today though.

Things have been improving slowly so I'm just resting, being kind to the body and letting time and the body do their thing.

As they say, patience is a virtue...so reminding myself on the importance of being that sort of virtuous when the 'story lines' and crankiness arise .

Much love, Erika
