Hey hon! I am so very happy for you! I know it is awful being in the hosp, but at least they are finally listening to you! AMEN!!!!!!!!

The EMG is rather painful. I told my neuro that - he knows my fear of needles and never mentions that part until I hear him pulling on the gloves - blood everywhere - yuck! I don't mind the other part - the electic stuff going through me, but the needle still freaks me out!

Do the drs have any idea what you are allergic to? Are you feeling better @ all with the meds? How long do they plan on keeping you there?

We have missed you!!!!!
Big hugs!

Just a quick update, i'm now in a hospital undergoing some tests, been here about a week already and having all sorts of medicine "dripped into" me. Did a emg on mon and gosh. it hurt so badly, hate the part about them digging in my flesh. Survived that test after a gruelling 1 hr odd, and am having the tensilon test later. Was told by docs today that my emg showed some abnormalities, though they didn't specify, and they mentioned that they'll have to do some more tests to be certain about my diagnosis. Its weird though, my emg in Mar showed normal results.

Am okay here, I tried walking around the day before and yesterday, and after 5 mins of walking, i slept for 3 hours. Haha! Symptoms wise, my neck's getting weaker, muscles keep twitching, and chest feels heavy.

But I'm glad the doctors here are taking my symptoms seriously, and are doing all they can to find out whats wrong with me. Am having an allergic reaction to one of the meds they gave me, so i look like a tomato now! I am also put on hormone pills and a whole lot of other pills and bags of drips for the time being.

may be having a muscle biopsy soon, anything i should take note of for that? it sounds scary.. lol.

really miss u guys. do take care alright? Have a great week everyone! will try to login when i can.
