Some neuro problems have cropped up

[Nazgul Girl]

   Please say some prayers for me, or send me some positive thoughts.   Some old neuro problems have cropped up again after some 25 years except for some very rare flares in the intervening time, and I'm being worked up with MRI, geriatric psych evals, etc.   I think that things will even out, but I'm kind of worried right now.

  So wish me luck !   I don't think this will be fully worked up for a couple of months.   There are so many tests lined up, it isn't funny......

[Opti]

 and good luck.

A friend's husband is going through a bunch of neuro tests too.

I will pray for both of you.

<HUGS> & prayers!!

Feel free to rant here anytime!  Can anything be done in the meantime to minimize the symptoms?

Please keep us posted.

Sending good thoughts your way. Hope you are feeling better.

   Thanks, everybody.   They are testing me quite thoroughly before they can give any treatments.   If they don't come up with anything medically wrong with me, then I'll be sent to physical therapy because of the weakness in my gait.   However, since I could comfortably walk a mile a few weeks ago, I think it's something more serious.   I feel like I'm made out wood, and am very weak at times.   I am also having some memory issues and some other stuff.   But, we'll see.

Good luck! 

from me too!

ETA: And while this sucks right after you have retired it's a piece of luck that you can focus on your medical needs vs them taking second place after your job.

So sorry to hear this Naz. Sending good thoughts your way for a great recovery.

When's the last time you took a good vacation? I mean REALLY allowed yourself to be spoiled? I think you should take some serious relaxation, & worry about the rest later.

BTW, lyme disease is going around here like crazy!  Has your doctor been able to rule that out?

[TheHaitian]

*Huggs* Nazgurl and you will be in my prayers.

Good luck!

Oh Naz I'm so sorry to hear this! TONS of hugs and white light to you!

[mmhmm]

I'm really sorry, hon. I hope you get some answers soon. It really sucks to feel badly and not know why. You'll be in my thoughts.

Naz, this is ABSOLUTELY none of my business, but since you mention your gait, my sister's SO has Parkinson's Disease. I don't know if you know this, but on TED talks (I'm assuming you know what they are, if not you can google it) they are developing a telephone test for Parkinson's. I don't know how reliable it is, but in your situation, it might give you some preliminary answers. 

Also, all I can think right now is THANK GD that you gave up your job when you did!!!

Again, many hugs to you.

This is the link I mentioned.

I'm very sorry Naz, I know I may be totally off base, but it makes me so sad that you have to wait for tests and answers. I hope you get answers quickly, and it turns out to be nothing more than fatigue.

You will be in my heart and prayers

Sending you good vibes Naz. Hope it's nothing serious!!

[TheOtherMe]

Hugs and good karma to you.  Hope the results don't show anything too serious.

I was just reading about a woman who suddenly came down with normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH).  It affected both her walking and her memory.  After surgery to place a shunt, she's doing great.  Have the doctor rule that out.  Ok?

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.  

[cronewitch]

Good luck hope they can fix it.

Yeah that. ((((Hugs))))

[Nazgul Girl]

   Thanks for all of your well-wishes.   I am hoping it's not m.s. or Parkinson's.   I'm getting an MRI in a week and a half.   If that doesn't show anything, they'll do more tests.   

  I think the idea of a voice-based test for Parkinson's is fascinating, Debt.  I will consider signing up for the study, but I have a lot to deal with right now  .

[NancysSummerSip]

Best wishes, Naz. Get tested and get answers and keep on those doctors. And when you have results, keep digging and researching. There's a lot of information out there and a lot of help and support, for whatever the issue may be.

[Nazgul Girl]

  Just an update:   I'm feeling better, walking better, and had an MRI of my brain, so hopefully, they can figure out what is going on !    Better days ahead.
