Well, my appointment was at 12. I am just now getting home. had a little incident. My super woman powers wore off half way to the doctors office and super woman I am refused to take anyone with me. I get half way there and the pressure in my head hits me so hard that I had to call for someone to come get me.

The doctor has seen a dramatic decline in my gait and he realizes how badly the pain is effecting me. He decided to put me on zoloft to take the edge off with the stress and then I had to go to the hospital to start the IV steroids which I have to do for 5 days followed by 6 days of oral steroids.

Waiting to get my prescriptions filled between appointments the pressure hurt so bad that I threw up twice, that was fun. Fortunately I made it to the bathroom in time both times. I think it was a delayed reaction to the LP mixed with the insane amount of stress from the last few weeks. LP results were abnormal and he is waiting on the final tests which he will get some time next week.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention the lady doing my IV attempted to put it in my hand figuring she would work her way up as the week progressed since I refuse to walk around with this thing strapped to my arm all week. Great idea until she blew the vein.

It has been an eventful day to say the least, but the pizza is ont eh way and the steroids made the pressure in my head subside a little so it is at least bearable.

oh, and my doctor flat out told me the best treatment for my symptoms was MM but he cannot prescribe it in the state of VA and because it is against the law he is legally not allowed to tell me I should try it. So as my doctor he has to say no, but as a person who can see how my sx are effecting me he says it's worth a shot.
