Yesterday...

Hello everyone.  I have been so tired lately.  If I keep going to bed early I'll be going to bed at the kids bed time...lol.  Seriously, what I wanted to type in here was I had a new twitch last night.  After I got dressed in my PJ's I proped my feet on the coffee table and was looking at sales papers when the right side underneath my chin twitched, it didn't last very long but it was weird.  My muscles felt all tight.  Still doesn't hurt or anything, but it was different! Thanks for reading.  God Bless.

? New Symptom ?

Hello everyone.  I am not sure is this would be a new symptom or not, but for the past three weeks I think I have been smelling hair dye.  I haven't dyed my hair in at least two to three months ago.  This morning the smell of bubble gum was so strong, I had to ask the kids if they had any?  They said no, I kind of knew that they didn't because the gum that they did have was mint and this was no where close to mint.  Well, that was it I just wanted to type it in so I wouldn't forget in case it means something, I never know anymore...lol.
Thanks for reading.  God Bless.

PET SCAN

Hello everyone.  Today was the Pet Scan, wow it was not as long as I thought it would be and not that bad of a test.  I signed in, and got the little I.D. bracelet with bar code and then I had to go down the hall to another waiting room and get checked in there.  I had a quick questionnaire to fill out and after that it wasn't very long at, before I got called back.  A nurse (I guess), checked my sugar and then said it was good and that he would be back with the i.v. to set up the injection site (radiation).  My sister was there and asked him some questions and he was more than happy to answer them.  Sometimes, they don't like to share their knowledge with others.  She got to stay in there with me until he had to inject the stuff.  I was left alone for an hour (I fell asleep).  After the hour was up, the scan itself only took 10 minutes.  It wasn't too bad!  I'd rather have this test than the noisy MRI.  Hopefully they will have a better idea on what to diagnose me with if anything at all. Thanks for reading.  God Bless.

The Things I did today...

Hello everyone.  Alright, so Far today I have forgotten what month is was, remembered what the day was though.  I might of messed up on some bills too.  I might have sent the wrong one with nothing in it and the other to the wrong place.  I don't remember.  I am usually pretty good about bills.  Other that its going good.  my daughter and I are going skating tonight, I hope I don't have that weighed down feeling again.  Thanks for reading.  God Bless.

?

Good morning everyone.  Well I must be messing up when I talk even if I thought I said the right words.  I believe that I said leave but my daughter swears I said weave.  This one I am not so sure about.  However I know that I called my dog a cat this morning, I didn't do it on purpose, but I played it off like well he does act like a cat.  I have been reading up on this PET scan, it doesn't seem to bad.  My mother-n-law has had to have one and she says they are  one of the best tests they have to see what is wrong.  I think they will ask me questions and maybe even ask me to read something while it is going on.  I won't know till I go there to have it done.  I wish all of this was over and done with and I had a diagnoses so I can plan on things.  Like I said before, I have given it all up to God and since I've done that I try to be fearless about it.  Anyways, thanks for reading.  God Bless.

More appointments and more tests

Hello everyone.  Well I got a phone call today.  I have two more appointments which are tests.  I have one this month and that is for a pet scan or something like it and the other one isn't until August.  I should be nervous or scared I guess.  More tests, more new doctors, but I would be lying if I said I'm not at all.  I am a little but it is what it is and if there is anything then so what with God on my side, I gave it all up to him and it has been in his hands ever since the first MRI.  From that day on, I am not as worried about it.  I'm not as scared as I would be if I hadn't of gave it up to him.  Thanks for reading.  God Bless.

Today I Feel...

Hello everyone.  Today I feel weird.  I don't know how to describe it.  Okay here is what is going on.  For the past week, everytime I eat I feel nausheated, but never vomit or dry heave {which is a really good thing}, My knee on my left leg trys or feels like it could give out.  I am a little scared of this because I don't want to fall in front of people and stuff.  Yesterday, I NEVER, EVER forget my coupons, and I did.  My leg jumped a couple of times last night when I had them prompt up on the coffee table.  When this happens I get a little nervous and I look at my husband to see if he saw it which I am always praying that he doesn't.  This morning my right foot had twitches, my daughter and I were playing hide and seek although she never did tell her brother that that is what she was up too.  We were on my husband's side of the bed, giggling when I noticed it.  She normally gets grossed out my the twitches if they are really strong.  Thankfully this one was not that strong.  Sometimes things don't taste the way they should.  This afternoon I grabbed one of their fruit snacks and to me it tasted like Tequila, I kept eating them, I think only to see if what I tasted was really what I tasted and to me every one of them tasted just like it.  I have noticed to and hope that no one else has but sometimes when I talk and sometimes even when I drink I drool or I miss my mouth.  I don't know if any of this stuff is realevant at all, but I told you that today I just feel weird and now have a headache, so on that note I will leave everyone on the wish that you all have a wonderful Saturday.  Thanks for reading, God Bless.

Two Months From Now...

Hello again,  I have another neurology appointment in two months...why?  I'm not sure.  Maybe it was because I bought my kids with me for the last one and it was a little distracting although they were very well behaved.  I am very proud of them for being my little angels yesterday...it happens often enough but it is especially important when they are in a place like that.  Oh and today I completely forgot that I had turned off the TV and was wondering why it was off then I remembered about ten minutes later that I turned it off when I turned the stereo on...lol.  It's crazy.  Anyways, that's all for now.  Thanks for reading.  God Bless.

Doctor's Appointment

Well hello everyone.  Nothing new to report other than the fact that I forgot which floor his office was on and I was bound and determend to get into the door that I thought it should be.  My knee almost gave out on the way out of the office (after realizing that I was on the wrong floor).  He is going to try to get me an appointment for another test.  He said that this is another long one.  And instead of waiting 18 months for another cognitive test it will be 12.  He is going to contact the oncologist again and see why I hadn't heard about the ear nose and throat doctor that he said he would get an appointment for me with.  I think I do have something new to report and that is I have noticed weakness in my right hand, which happens to be the hand that I write and draw with.  It's a good thing that before this ever happened I was teaching myself to use the left hand.  I'm not sure how good it is at writing but drawing it looks pretty good.  Anyway, I guess I will blog more later when and if anything new happens.  Thanks for reading.  God Bless!

Doctor's Appointment

Hello everyone.  Well my doctor's appointment is coming up and I have no idea what is going to happen at this one.  This evening my middle back was twitching which is a new one for me.  My left foot has been twitching a little more than normal and there has been some involuntary movement on my right leg.  It's not all the time.  Last Friday night I went skating again and this time it didn't feel like lead or weighted down.    I guess I will type more when there is more to share.  Thanks for reading.  God Bless.

This Week

This week I got the report back from the doctor and it said that I could have the very early stages of Parkinsons.  Which is nothing new, he had already dicussed that this could be what it is but he can't give a diagnoses as of yet. 
Okay now for friday.  Friday my knee on my right side hurt with every step.  Then that night I went skating my legs felt like lead.  I had to keep sitting down and resting.  I am not sure if this is a new symptom or not but I wasn't going to let it stop me from skating at my daughter's birthday party.  The good news is I didn't fall!
Saturday my right leg hurt with every step, I looked but there doesn't seem to be anything wrong as far as apprences go.  I have no idea why it's only the right side.
Today, my right leg no longer hurts.  There was a strong twitch on my upper, outer right thigh and then a few twitches on my right inner thigh.  After that stopped there was twitching on my left shoulder. That's it for now.  I can't think of anything else to add.  Thanks for reading.  God Bless!
