Thank you for the information on your dx's and the explanations too.:) You have a great attitude, very positive. That is half the battle with any disease. Don't ever let it get the better of you, this way you win, it doesn't. :D

I feel the same way. I have to find enjoyment in everyday, despite whatever else I am feeling.:hug:

Thank you for sharing. I hope we hear more from you. Take care.

Well, I guess I shouldn't let myself get my hopes up about diagnoses. I say my Neurologist on Thursday (having a flare again, gotta love ON and leg pain) and while there I told him that my PC had diagnosed the Periodic Paralysis. He asked what tests he had to confirm that, I told him, and he told me that he doesn't feel there is enough for a concrete diagnosis.

I was so mad I wanted to fly across the room and smack him in the face. He is a young doctor who believes that whatever the "research" and the books say is as good as gold, no matter what is in front of his eyes.

When I told him about my PC looking into Periodic Paralysis he told me "That's out of my scope of practice". But it's okay for him to reverse my diagnosis because now he knows enough about it to tell me that that's not enough information!:mad: Well he hasn't reversed it, but what's to say he wont if that's how he feels.

Okay sorry for ranting, I am so mad at my doctor right now. Unfortunately my PC is retiring in just a couple more days, so I don't know how things are going to go.

Oh I'm taking my son to get baby chicks! My daughter is spending a week with my In-Laws and she will get to name hers when she gets home. We have been getting fresh eggs for a while now from a friend. So now we are getting our own chickens! Now if we could just get the garden going very soon we will be in a great boat!

Have a great day.

Kristie
