Today's the 26th !!
I just got back from my nerve conduction study with Dr. Frankenstein.
(I could've put one foot in a pan of water and then
put my finger in a light socket or wall plug & gotten the same Sx )
BTW, My next-door-neighbor tech was conveniently out of the building
at the time I arrived. So he didn't do it.
Actually it really wasn't so bad. I had the same Dr that did it last time.
He asked me if I knew what was about to happen, and I asked if it
was 'der zapper' or 'dose needles'..... he said....... both !!
Bottom line, its been 4 yrs (time files when we're having fun...don't it ) since the last tests
and he said that it really didn't look like thing had changed very much.
No progression to be concerned about for the moment.
No great significant changes since the last testing.
He did ask if I'd had a sural done, and I said I'd pass on that one,
for the moment, please
I'll wait til my doc contacts me with his interpretation of the results,
But the doc who did it, is pretty sharp.
So, no reason to stress out about progression, but maybe I'm becoming tolerant of the meds - and that's why the Sx seem to be increasing a bit in severity. But at least I'm still able to function at a 2 or 3 with meds, and spikes are about 4-5, sometimes a 6 but seldom.
I'll just have to 'bite the bullet' if the docs can't come up with
a better 'cocktail' for me.
