On Saturday (3/22/08) the left side of my face went kaput. No smiling, no facial control. Blinking is in slo-mo and the eyelid doesn’t reach all the way down. This might not sound that big but if you don’t blink your eye will water. Now try that one on for size and see what it does to your… Read More »
August 31st – MRI Yay, I love MRI’s. Sarcasm off. They aren’t bad, I’m not claustrophobic or anything like that. What I dislike is the contrast. As long as its injected slowly I’m fine. Too fast and I hurl. I warned the lady and she ignored me. So there I was frantically smashing the ball to get the… Read More »
It’s true. Need to get them cut, probably go in tomorrow to have some nice stranger fondle my feet. I find it so much easier to have someone else cut my finger and toe nails. Don’t always have enough strength to cut through these thick things at the end of my wiggly parts. Don’t want them painted though,… Read More »
Last night I took my normal Aleve (shot night) and topped it off with 100mg of neurontin and 2.5mg of valium. Yet I still wake myself up moaning in pain. I’m not doing drugs right if I wake myself up. Supposed to wake my husband up, that’s what he’s there for, right? Back of my right leg was… Read More »
You starting mmmming and your window will close on your fingers. Yesterday was a wondrous day. Not only did I maliciously and with malice aforethought murder my hair *buwahahahahahaha* but I also had a massage with my favorite massage therapist A.G. Yup, that’s his name. He goes by his initials because his name is hideous. He told it… Read More »
Not sure if its after-shot effects or what but I’ve been extremely light headed today. Wobbly, greying-vision, general dizzy type stuff without the spinning. Exorcism like behavior is part of being dizzy, right? Thankfully yesterdays tension migraine has deflated to a dull roar. Jaws still tight and there’s a nag in my head but I can have a… Read More »
Yuck yuck yuck. Did I mention yuck? Fatigue is kicking my ass. I could go down for a three hour nap and I haven’t been up for much more than that. The pain in my legs is less and less entertaining. The spasticity is intense. Took half a valium last night before bed. Woke up this morning with… Read More »
It’s been a long time since I’ve posted here. IVF was a bust, too many health problems despite several attempts. I could carry a child but the required medicines would be heinous and costly, not just monetarily. Since going off all my meds I’ve had a few flares. Short lived, thank god, but there. My balance is for… Read More »
300mg three times a day kept the leg pain and migraines away. I’ve never had migraines until after the exacerbation in May 2004. I’m titrating off the gabapentin (generic neurontin). Right now I’m taking 200mg three times a day and the freakin migraines and pain are just amazingly awe inspiring. I loathe to think what it will be… Read More »
