Please make sure the doctor has eliminated the possibility of meningitis. The stiff neck and difficulty swallowing are concerning.

Yes, DD had a bug that turned into "M", so it is a possibility. Are
you feverish, nauseous?

Oh Ericka...prayers for you and a special blessing for you as you continue to try to heal...

Our pals bring up a serious concern...you might want to call about making sure it isn't meningitis. Cover all bases...

Keep us up to date between sleeping

Erica, adding my voice to the chorus of well wishes.

Your situation sounds truly awful. I am hoping it is brief.

Thanks so much for all of your well wishes and concern.

I too thought about meningitis, but there is no fever, unusually severe headache or nausea, so I think that it is just spasticity and inflammation. Will mention it to the neuro when I talk with him later today though.

Things have been improving slowly so I'm just resting, being kind to the body and letting time and the body do their thing.

As they say, patience is a virtue...so reminding myself on the importance of being that sort of virtuous when the 'story lines' and crankiness arise .

Much love, Erika

Good job of taking care of yourself, Ericka...hope the sxs fade away and you feel better soon

Yes, I very happy to say that things are surely feeling better gradually, but I'm taking no chances... so will be laying low for the next few days.
This last go round has put a bit of a scare into me.

Hope that everyone is doing well and am looking forward to catching up, but the vision is not quite right and am avoiding as much strain as possible.

With love, Erika
