dear worrier,
as i too was recently was given the news after 2 cervical neck surgeries, sending me back for yet another emg afterwards because my surgeon could not explain why the pain continues. well, the report shows no muscle damage but positive for nerve damage both arms and legs. and in hind sight i do remember some numbing and pain, burning, tingling and just some mild symptoms thinking it was just that falling asleep body part. not so. i oooooh so know that scared felling when YOU know something is up. years of these symptoms were present back in my late thirties i am fifty years young, i fell the prime of my life is being stripped from me. then told i have a few things going on at once. HELLO NEW WORLD. what i truly want to get out, is try not to worry. my family said look for positive information, it isn't easy for me to do many things as i once did. once a wild horse now tamed. i worry i will DIE if they can't get to the bottom of things, so many things at once. give me a break. then i think, did i somehow do this? thank goodness for my psychiatrist. as i try writing you the tears just keep coming as i wait for my meds to kick in. peripheral neuropathy and fibromyalgia, is what i wake up with. and know being tested for hypoglycemia. symptoms are very similar to menopause for the exception of unequal pupils and dips in blood pressure, so know i prick myself to draw blood and test it. how about i wrap it up by saying "try not being frighten" as you move forward getting at the bottom of your situation. i wish you peace in your journey and much support. this forum is one of the few places i can now come to and share and no i am not alone and in return given great advice eyes that listen. take care.
