Hi all...darn it, I still can't get the size of these letters to grow...grrr.
Anyway, Brain, I am sooo glad that your patches are helping you. Don't you
feel like dancing, having a normal type of ache??? Hope they keep working
for you!
It was so hard to leave Hawaii...my DH and I truly felt as if we were in
paradise. I had 2 incidences where my balance got whacked. Both times, I
had gotten overheated. We were walking and suddenly when I tried to
take a step, the sidewalk felt as if it was tipping sideways and I started to
tip over. My DH ran over and grabbed me and helped me walk slowly until
it dissipated. Otherwise, no problems except the RLS.
I saw my pcp on Monday. I told her I was very angry at my neuro...I got
rejected for long term health care because of "possible MS and cognitive
difficulties."
Before I left for Hawaii, I saw the neuro's nurse practitioner. She
asked me to squeeze her hands, hold out my hands, walk, you know, all that
stuff. She called my neuro on the phone, and then came back and
announced that I don't have MS, it's just anxiety and depression. Then
why did he tell the insurance company that I have possible MS???
My pcp said that the sxs aren't caused by depression or anxiety, that they
indeed neurological. I am going to have a neruopsych exam, and if that
comes back abnormal, I'm going to call the neuro and blow my top.
He needs to make up his mind.
I have been so tired this week...probably getting used to the 5 hr. difference
again. Plus, my inlaws are high maintenance since we got back...lots of dr.
appts, shopping, etc. It wears me out mentally.
Well, I hope everyone had a good week. It's cold again, which is not fun!!
Take care, all!
