Hi GJ! I started a check in under general health. But this may be a better place for it - easier to find.


I'm supposed to go to the neuro tomorrow, trying to talk myself out of cancelling. sposed to be cold. Long drive for me. When I made the appt, dh was on would have had the day off, but he's switched shifts now he has to work.

To self "Sheesh. Just go, ya big sissy."



I'm still a little fatigue-y, hard to get to sleep but waking up better. Sleeping about 7-8 hrs - WOW.

Neck is no worse than usual in this weather. Arms are normal strength, hands not zappy. Hip is bad last couple of days, over did it walking through an antiques mall Monday. Should've brought my cane. It's getting a little better though.

Over all I feel pretty good. I'd still like more energy, less pain, but who wouldn't?





And GJ, so sorry you went through all that with the LP. Hope you're fully recovered soon and that you at least get some answers for all your trouble.

But please keep telling your story. For every few good LP tales there's a bad one and people need to know that, you know? It is not 100% painless (it is for some of us, and it is NOT for the rest of them) it is NOT always safe, there are risks.

It hits home when you hear it from someone it actually happened to.

I think that is one of THE most valuable things about this forum - that's info you can't get just anywhere.
