I am so glad that you had a great vacation.

I got some strange news from my neuro today. He, evidently thinks that he has figured out my mystery disease (it's been 4 years now). He asked me if I ever saw Awakenings. Anyway, he says that they got sick from influenza, and he thinks that my high fever did the same thing, damaging the left side of my brain including the dopamine producers. That's why I have parkinson's sx, but not full blown PD. He doesn't think that it will get worse as long as I stay on Mirapex, a PD drug.

On the other hand, I got sick a couple of months ago. I have had a ct scan, a bunch of blood tests, several ultrasounds and a biopsy. No one is sure what is causing the pain. The next step is the gastroenterologist, yuck. My gp thinks that this is all being caused by some adhesions that have pretty much stuck my "innards" together.

Anyway, that's what is happening in my world at the moment.

I sure missed this place.

Mama
