Ok yeah i would sound super weird now to anyone but ya'll


but i just got back from an intake chiropractic appointment and yeah it is definately NOT in my head (or maybe it is - MRI's will tell that one).

The chiropractor tested my spine gently AND (we really need a drumroll smiley)

EVERY MUSCLE FROM MY HEAD TO MY TOES has moderate to severe spasticity which means even the gentlest touch caused pain and reflextivity (which ironicly i don't have very good reflexes any more)... except to pain. when they tap my right knee it says HUH? and doesn't do anything.

I also have SEVERE clinically observable balance issues! And today was a "good day"!

Not that it is such a great thing b/c the spacitity/ballance issues it is really painful but it is a great thing in some ways b/c it means that I'm not making all this up!

you can fake a lot of things, and be crazy about a lot of things but making every muscle group from your head to your toes reflexively spastic is NOT fake-able!

I just mentioned my appointment to my mom and she was like "don't be so happy about it!" can i get a shout out for all those who have heard that line?

She just don't get it!

I'm glad that ya'll do and that I'm a part of this group! even when i writes in hieroglyphics!


my mom was wanting it to be all in my head, I'm glad it isn't b/c it feels awesome to be validated.

we need a MRI smiley too! hee hee hee

ya'll truely go my speed around here and can understand and decode hieroglyphics (thank goodness for spell check -like i can really spell hyroglphics).

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Sincerely,

Rachael
