Mystery Illness/What's wrong with me?



Recommended Posts

Thank you all so much for your love and prayers. I haven't felt like fighting with my parents dial up/ everytime I get on here, someones calls and kicks me off line!! they are in the computer dark ages. Physically, not much better or any news. Typings is hard cause I have limited fine motor skills with my left hand. I have a knee apoint tomorrow in Denton so we are packing up to go Little Elm. We will be coming back here in a few days. I will keep everyone posted. Thanks for being my friends-I miss you all.

I am taking anti sesior(sp?) meds and anti-anxiety meds. Thank goodness we still have my grandmothers wheelchair. I havve at least been able to get around wwith some help. MRI's and blood tests haven't given any clue. When we get back from Denton we are going to go to a differesnt neurologist.

The meds are helping some. I have more control over my left hand but it takes a very concentrated effort to type with it. The jerking with my arm and leg are not as bad.

I still don't have any answers. The chiro and orthopedist suggested MS. X-rays of my bones look good-going for an MRI to check the tendons in the AM. I will then be going to Houston to see my mothers DR who is really good and he is going to send me to a neurologist for some test where they stick needles in your legs etc and check your muscles, an eeg(whatever that is), and a spinal Fluid check. Sounds like fun doesn't it?

The thing that is really irritating me is that I have gained about 4 pounds. With everyone waiting on me, I am not going to ask them to fix me something special. I just eat what they bring me. Mom did say that we were going to start eating better because she knows how hard I have tried to lose weight. It's just really hard to turn down comfort food right now.

Since I cant work, I have lost my unemployment benefits and that really stinks. The kids and I are moving in with mom at Kingwood. HD is looking for a room to rent so that he can keep his job and pay the bills until we can figure out what to do. Please keep us in your prayers.

By the way if anyone in the Denton area knows of an inexpensive place that Steven could check out please PM me. He works around TexasMotor Speedway. He has to be out of the house by the end of Jan. Thank you all for your love and prayers.

It always seems that just when I think I've got problems someone else comes along who really has problems, and then I feel so selfish for not being thankful for what I have.

Lauri, my hopes and prayers are with you. But I think that your answers are coming too slow. Get on them docs and get them working a little faster, they may be wasting valuable time.

Laurie, I will be praying for you. I'm glad you are seeing a doctor in Houston and going to specialists here. I'm going to pray they find the answer. Thanks for letting us know how you are. I have really been thinking about you.

Lauri,

This makes me so sad. I hope it is not MS. It seems to take forever to get a true diagnosis if it is, since it is so hard to tell. I do hope you get some answers soon. You and your family are in my thoughts often.

Lauri, I am sorry to hear about your health problems and hope you find out what it is so you can begin dealing with it the best way possible.

Since you can't get unemployment, is it possible you could get some sort of disability payment until you get your situation resolved?

Please get better soon! I always enjoy reading your posts and seeing your smiley picture. :)

Thanks everyone. I really miss visiting with all of you. I feel out of the loop! My dad is going to look into disability for me so that I can atleast keep my insurance and pay for my meds. I just want to know what is wrong and get back to normal. Thanks for all the love, prayers, and hugs.

Hey All! I just wanted to pop in and see what is going on. I have an appointment with the neuro today. Blood work was taken to check DNA and all sorts of stuff. My last appointment wiht the neuro he increased my meds and I am doing better physically-not as much jerking and seizing. But, I am very tired and lethargic. I want so much to get on every thread and check on everyone and just visit and have a great time but sitting makes my symptoms worse. I am going to give phone number to anyone who wants it. Just PM me. I would love to talk. I hope I can meet some of you who live in this area. thank you for all of your prayers and kind thoughts. When I get really depressed, I think of all of you and feel better. love to you all

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
