Thanks so much for responding. I unfortunately have to add another neurological (possiblly) problem. I saw my orthodpedist today to discuss a continual issue with weakness in my right leg. Since all of these problems have occured on my right side, I was concerned and decided not to ignore yet another problem. Dr said I had foot drop and set up for an EMG and a MRI. Reading the Mayo clinic info is scary, but one has to at least understand what medical terms mean. I have a history of auto immune - sarcoidosis, lichen planus & myorphia. I guess what I need now is some reassurance that I am reading worst case data. I realize that I need to complete testing to rule out...but this continual new issue is getting a little scary. Its nice just to be able to think out loud to someone. Thanks and I'll keep you posted. Could not figure out how to add another thread so you got to be recipient of my thoughts.
