No Update yet

Hello, everyone.  Happy Halloween !  Well, I am a little nervous about going to my doctor's appointment in November.  I talked with a friend who had been there before.  So it doesn't sound so scary anymore.  I find new things that I should be writing down to tell them when I get there that I have forgot to tell my other doctor.  Sometimes, I stare for no reason its like I got a pause button and something somewhere hits it.  Not too often.  Then I was reading something to do with my son's homework.  I said the word alliteration, and when it came up again I completely forgot how to pronounce it not once but at least three times.  I can't stand doing stuff like that especially in front of my kids and husband.  I told our daughter to do something, when she was done with her homework, when it came time for her to do what I asked her.  Which was only like five minutes later, I looked at her like I didn't have a clue what she was talking about.  I know that had to scare her.  We use to joke about it calling them Lucy Moments; from I Love Lucy, I love that show and I am a lot like her character, except for the crying thing.  Anyways, maybe if I put it in here I'll remember to print it up and take it with me or just remember to let them know.  Well, I have to go find a white shirt to cut up for the trunk or treat.  Thanks for reading...

Busy Day

Hi to all.  My Saturday was very busy.  My family and I were apart of the Susan G. Komen Race For the Cure.  My husband did the 5k run, he was happy with the time he made, after all this was our first race.  My kids and I walked the 5k, they were really good.  I am so proud of them.  After that my husband had an office picnic that we attended not long after the race.  We had a good time.  Finally, we came back home and in the mail was the letter of my next appointment.  It will be in November.  I pray that they can shed light on to what is going on.  Hopefully this one will be the one that they say, "Alright Kimmi we know what is causing this and it's...
I'll write more later.

The Bone Scan Results

     Okay, here we go the good news first.  The good news is that my bone scan turned up fine.  There is nothing wrong with my bones.  The bad news is that it doesn't explain what showed up on my MRI, so now I have to go to a neurologist.  Wow, I was really hoping for some kind of news any kind, any diagnoses.  Now, I have to wait for a letter stating when the appointment is and where it will be at.  More waiting, I'm glad I'm not that much of an impatient person.

Full Body Bone Scan

     Okay, now I am a little scared.  This test was yesterday, so this will get everyone all caught up.  First, I had to go and get an injection of radiation.  I had to wait four hours after the shot, I din't have to stay at the hospital, which was good.  I asked my mother-in-law if she could get the kids from school because I was suppose to be getting the scan around that time.  When I came back I had to lay down on this table and the scanner thing came what seemed like an inch away from my face, talk about the walls closing in.  I didn't like that at all.  The noise wasn't so bad, it was like maybe a light, very light hum.  I just had to lay still and it was over before I knew it.  I came back home and went on the rest of my day like normal.  The only thing I'm doing now is waiting on the test results, hoping that there are no more tests for me to do.

Blood Test Results to....

     Okay so week before last I get the blood test results...it ia all good news nothings wong with my blood.  Which leads to another test.  Yikes, I'm still not scared just wondering when we are going to find out something good or bad.  My next test is a full body bone scan...

MRI results, physical, and blood tests

Okay so now we are into week four of this journey.  The MRI showed a spot on my neck and back.  What kind of spot, I don't know.  I get fussed at by my sister because I don't ask questions.  She's a nurse, so she would know the right questions to ask, me I don't know, I guess I just don;t think of any while I'm there.  So I had a physical, and they took some blood, that I do know why.  They drew blood to see if my blood cells were doing what they need to do for the bone.  I am still not scared, whatever happens, happens.  I know that it is all in God's hands...

MRI

     My next test was the MRI.  Wow, that test was sooooo LOUD.  The earplugs that they gave me didn't work very well.  I don't get scared when it comes to stuff like that but that noise is enough to drive anyone a little mad.  I laid there with my eyes open thinking, why hasn't anyone painted it on the inside to make it nice for people to look at instead of just seeing white.  Then I prayed, I knew God was there with me, and I told him that I missed my cat and if he could pet him and give him a little kiss on the head for me.  Then I imagined surfing or just walking on the beach with my kids just to get my mind off of the noise.  My dad was with the kids that day so I didn't have to worry about them.  I might of said a little prayer for my dad because he was watching the kids, I didn't want them to give him a hard time.  Needless to say I was back at the doctor's office for yet more tests and the results....

Nerve Conduction Test

     Last month is when I finally swent to the doctor about this strange occurrence.  My doctor checked me over, made sure my reflexes were good and stuff like that.  She ordered my first test which was a nerve conduction test.  A nerve conduction test for those of you that don't know is a test to see how well your nerves react.  It is done with what looks like a small tazer and it does send small electric currants through an area of your body, and your reflexes will defiantly be on their p's and q's.  Then there is the needle that goes into the muscle, but it doesn't go all over.  It checks the muscle reaction.  Anyway it was a little uncomfortable, but I guess it depends on the person.  It was a fairly quick test.  Anyway, the results to this one for me was inconclusive.  So back to the doctor I go...

My Medical Journey

     Hi everyone!  I am really new to this whole blogging thing so please bare with me.  My name is Kimmi, I am 36, I have two children, and a wonderful husband. 
     Anyway, this blog is about my medical journey.  First let me get you all caught up on the symptoms and everything.  It was two and a half years ago when my fingers on my left hand started to twitch.  They moved back and forth rapidly sometimes, but then would quit.  Then they started to get stuck in the same postion, that was painful and it lasted longer than the twitching.  I ignored it hoping that it was because I started doing new things like mowing the grass. So I blew it off, for a while, until recently.
     Recently, the twitching moved all over, and I mean all over.  It doesn't happened all the time and when it does I get suprised sometimes as to where its twitching at.  Sometimes they're strong and scare me, it feels as if someone is poking me from the inside, others are just there.  I didn't think much of it, I thought maybe it is just because I'm getting older, or I'm more active or something.  Until my daughter started getting grossed out at seeing something poking her mom inside her leg.  She said something like it looked like something was trying to get out.  That's when I decided that it was time to go see the doctor about this strange twitching.
