Hi Anne,
I am on a feeding tube which takes formula that has all the nessesary nutrients including B-12 and all the others. I have had my B-12 check a few months ago, it is in the normal range right now but I think it's because I get B-12 shots every two weeks. Before that it was low. I'v been keeping track of my B-12 for the last 3 years.

When the Doctor sent me for all these blood works he covered everything. They took 36 tubes of blood from me and they said alot of the tubes had 2 or 3 test in them. The nurse's at the lab said they never had sent out for alot of these specific test before, they were learning something new also.

I have notified my siblings that they should be checked and also my two grown sons. I am hoping they take it seriously and go get the blood work done.
My Mom had 3 strokes all in her 50's and past away from a ceribral hemerage, possibly from to much blood thinners at the age of 60.
Her Mother, my Grandmother had two strokes in her 60's and lost her speech; she never got better and past away at 72yrs.

Yes, it was the EEG that came back abnormal. I see the Neuro phy doctor the end of January. I will get some questions answered. When I asked my regular neuro why my EEG came back abnormal he said he doen't know about that stuff since he didn't order it, so I need to talk to the Neurophy doctor to explain.

I also asked my reg Neuro if my MRI show Any sign of a stroke and he said absolutely not.
My EMG was normal but he's sending me for a second opinion in Jan. for another with a differant Neuro muscular specialist.

It is all so hard, in the mean time I still can't swallow a sip of water one day but then I can on another day.
But I can swallow my saliva when I go into my sleep state at night, I have no choking or drooling and I can actually feel myself swallow, but Not on command, only as a natual reflex. As soon as I awake the swallowing stops completely and the choking and spitting out my saliva begins through out the whole day.

Thanks for your reply!
