Thanks Kitty,

The problem is by the time I get an appt, get an MRI nothing ever shows up.. I think its too much time in between.. nothing is active.

My reflexes were unbelievable, none on my left side but my right leg was very exaggerated.. he asked me if my feet fan out and on cue they did.. they also turned in too.. my hands also turned blue in the office.. at least everything is documented.. so we'll see what happens next.

I'm glad you got it documented.

If you have the capability maybe take a video of your symptoms at their worst or at least some pictures of your hands when they turn blue. A picture is worth a thousand words.

I hope you feel better and are able to tolerate these symptoms until you can see a Neuro. Don't these doctors realize that people are desperate by the time they finally get to have an appt?

I am glad you got seen, MHM. I hope the Flexeril helps and that you get seen by the neuro very soon.

YES! i'm so glad that all your sx's showed themselves.
keep your medical record file on yourself updated and at the ready for whenever your appt is.

if you are given the dr's phone # you might try calling frequently to see if they have a cancellation. you never know when something might open up and the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
