I don't know if I have an actual Chiari or not. But I do sometimes have nerve issues with arms sometimes, but that could be from stress. Which I'm hoping it is just stress/anxiety related. The doc said that paperwork indicate possible syringomyelia its not definitive...... yet.

I just want to direct you to some other forums that you might want to visit.
You could ask questions there and get some more support/information.

I hope that you are feeling o.k., Bizi.

I apologized to my friend this morning for ruining her party. She wrote me back and said "don't be silly, you did not ruin the party...I hope you feel better".
sigh

I feel very tired today. Getting ready for bed now.

I hope you do feel better…

Today is a new day Bizi, and I hope it goes well

I hope that nothing nefarious turns up, but that you do get the answers you are seeking so you can get the treatment and relief you need

Well 2 things happened today:

1. Dr. Orazio changed my meds at my request.
Abilify, seroquel to sleep and lamictal.
I hope she lets me have the klonipin still, we shall see.

2. Saw a PT today for my hip and arm injuries. Will see him tomorrow as well. I think he is good. I am so out of shape!!!!!! I could not really do the exercises that he gave me very well. Did not know that he did adjustments. my back is very frozen....
Did some of the exercises today and anyway some progress/movement is better than none.

I get tested for ADD this friday. It is on the computer and timed. So stressful for me first thing in the morning. I have 2 take home tests, one is easy and I finished it.

14. on the go, driven by a motor
15. talks excessively

Each area has 4-7 questions under each one.

I take my car in tomorrow to get the recall taken care of for my air bag.
Hoping that they get it done in a timely manner.
Talked to Dad tonight, he has played golf twice so far.mom has been raking up leaves out of the flower beds.
They have not had any bites on the house.
I feel sorry for them. Send some good thoughts their way please.

That looks like a long assessment.
You can manage it. Be patient with yourself.


I hope your parents are o.k.
