Thanks Mark.
Got a referral to a neurologist so now I have to wait. Got an X-Ray of my neck but for an MRI or anything else it has to be requested by the neuro. Will have a review with my doc next week and hopefully have X-ray results by then. As for the physiatrist, I received a referral almost 4 months ago but am told it's another 3 month wait before I get an appointment as a minimum. On another note, I am off work again. Starting later Friday afternoon I started feeling terrible. By Sunday I was slurring a bit (B's, V's and M's..?)and had some temporary vision issues. I am starting to get better again after some Chiro and Accupuncture but a new symptom is very heavy eyelids that I can't figure out nor had previously. I am not tired yet when it comes I can barely keep my eyes open and they feel strained...? The computer screen is irratating now more than before, completely exhausting my eyes in a very short period fo time, cognitively at the moment I seem well but I did have a period of short term memory affected again. So unfortunately another small setback, guess I was a bit too eager to return to work. I suspect a small drive on Friday did me in, it's pothole season here and that's the only thing I can think off that was different in my routine that day. |

Oooooh, Potholes can be miserable. I have to be very careful about them.
I know the heavy eyelids very well. I get it at my computer in the morning. I usually will take a nap to resolve it. I have found myself asleep at my desk from this symptom. I wish I had a solution to it. Too bad the physiatrist visit will take so long. With my previous health care system, we called this the routine system for healing and reducing costs. Make the patient wait and hopefully, while they wait, they will either get better or get frustrated and stop asking for help. Sounds like government managed health care. My best to you.
