New I guess

Hello everyone.  Well I guess this could be a new symptom.  I am having a hard time swallowing, like I need to swallow, but my throat feels as if it closes before I can so I have to swallow a harder than I should.  I don't know if this means anything or not, but it's here so I won't forget about it.  I have an appointment in November and I hope that I can have all of this printed up for my doctor.  I have trouble still remembering things, and I mess up what I am saying a lot, sometimes it's backwards and other times it's like I know what I want to say but it is just not connecting to my brain, or visa versa and that drives me crazy.  I did walk in the Susan G. Komen Race for the cure it was 3 something miles and I wasn't sure how my legs will do.  They did great and the kids and I finished in a little under an hour.  We normally walk about that long around the block and at the beach it is always longer than that.  I was fine I guess.  Going up the stairs is a pain the first three are okay, but anything after that my legs feel as if they had lead or something strapped to them and it hurts to move them, that is why I don't skate on skate night at church anymore and I still keep trying to do the things that hurt because, I don't just want to sit on my ass and wait for someone to say oh we finally know what your diagnoses is.  By then my muscles might have shrinked to nothing if I just sat around, especially if I see another one like I did in August making me feel like I was a lair and that it must be all in my freakin' head.  I wanted to SCREAM: WHO THE HECK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? IF YOU ACTUALLY READ MY FILE YOU WOULD KNOW THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE FRONTAL LOPES AND IT ISN'T SOMETHING THAT I AM LYING ABOUT! SO YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO MED SCHOOL OR RETIRE AND LET YOUR INTERN TAKE OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry I guess I just had to get that out again.  I guess that's enough from me tonight...lol. God Bless.

Migrans and Forgetfulness

Hello everyone, okay so this past Friday I had one of the worst migane ever.  It came on so fast I hardly had time to blink.  I went to lunch with a bunch of friends from the school where I volunteer.  It took me a long time to order my food, I knew what I wanted I just couldn't remember what it was and I couldn't even say it.  it kind of felt like someone or something was preventing parts of my brain to connect with the other parts. What felt like ten minutes of not being able to put simple words together to let the very understanding lady behind the counter know what I wanted was probably only five minutes.  While eating and talking my vision started to leave and by the time lunch was over i could see only one face at a time and only if i were looking directly at the person,  My friend had to take me home so my husband could go back and get the car.  I had to take double the amount of medicine.  It was scary, like I've said I had never encountered one that delayed my speech and thought process. 
Monday, just a little bit ago, I forgot what a yellow ribbon was for.  How could anyone forget that.  Out of all of the ribbons I could've forgotten.  It makes me truly sick that I forgot that the yellow ribbons are for our soldiers.  I honestly don't know what I was thinking.  I love our soldiers and want them all to come back safe and sound.  I see the yellow ribbons all the time on my fb page too, i played it off how badly it bothered me, oh it's a Monday or I'm not awake yet i haven't had enough coffee, but when I asked i truly did not remember and to me that is something of a big deal.  I even have one on my blog and it's been there since i started writing it so i know i knew i just had no clue this morning.  they seriously need to find out what is wrong with me...i do;t know how much of days like this i can take.  it makes me literally want to scream to the top of my lungs.  i support our soldiers active and non active retired or just got out i support them 100%!  My hubby is my hero!

I'm so Tired

Hello everyone.  I guess this might be a new symptom.  About a month ago I have started to get very tired.  normally wouldn't go to bed until way past mid-night, now I am lucky if I make it past 10pm.  Then I will wake up at least 3 times for no reason.  During the day I sleep.  I wake up long enough to volunteer at my son's school and when I get home I am able to check a few things on my computer and then fall asleep right in the middle of it.  I must have an eternal alarm clock 'cause I usually wake myself up at 2 so I can meet him at the bus stop.  Anyways, I guess this too is stuff I need to remember to tell my regular neurologist and maybe he will send me to someone who actually takes the time with me.  My arm is still driving me crazy from all the twitching it is doing.  Thanks for reading, God Bless.

More things to try to remember

Hello everyone.  Ok I guess these are fairly new symptoms.  For awhile now I can be in the middle of saying something and then I get stuck and I know what I am going to say cause my brain is like saying it over and over again.  It's like the word is just not taking the proper channels to get to my mouth so I can say it.  The other thing is today, my arm has been twitching almost constantly except for when I move and then as soon as it doesn't it will start right back up again.  Then my left cheek started twitching too, but that one was quick.  That's all I have so far.  Thanks for reading, God Bless.

I'm Back

     Hello everyone.  I am finally back.  I have lots to say about this whole medical thing.  But first, I was gone because  couldn't remember the blog password, email, or what site my blog was on to begin with.  I finally found the thing that I written everything down on, YAY!
     Okay, here is the medical thing that has happened since the last time I blogged.  I was seen by yet another doctor, who in my opinion was useless.  He is suppose to be a specialist, a professional.  Anyway, I went to him and he had his med student which seemed to me that he cared more about me than the doctor did.  Ask me tons of questions, anyway that was fine.  Then when I saw the doctor, he asked me if there was anything in the news that I was following (now the news was playing the entire time in the waiting room), I said the hurricane.  Anyways he asked me about that too.  Then about something else that was on the news ALOT.  Then he asked me to look at a picture and write down what I saw, so I did.  The he told me the rest that I had missed and told me to write it down too.  He flipped through not even reading the other doctors notes which in them said that there was a frontal lobe problem, and looked at me and said that the other doc had also found nothing wrong...REALLY, thank God that that other doctor sent me my own copy and I know for a fact that it doesn't say that there is nothing wrong.  He takes a phone call on his CELL PHONE and excuses himself from the office during my appointment then basically comes back in and tells me that I am a lair!  WHAT?  Really?  I can't wait to tell my regular neurologist about this one.  I felt like I don't know, it was weird! Anyway, thanks for reading! God Bless

This Past Weekend and Today

Hello everyone,  Well last week was our church's VBS and it went great there was nothing going on that made me feel weird other than the fact that my eye was still twitching.  It is getting better now finally after 3 weeks.  Saturday my niece had a skating party, my knee felt a little stiff, but that went away and my legs got tired, but I tried my best to keep on skating.  I haven't really done much of anything, except walk around the block but my arm muscles wow, on my left arm just hurt.  I also have noticed this place on my head its not a bump or anything and I didn't hit it.  It is on my left side and it is tender to the touch, maybe I've chewed too much gum, but I had two pieces on Sunday and one piece today, so that might not be it.  I still need to have my eyes checked, upon my husband's request.  I did got to the ENT (not sure if I wrote about that or not) luckily I don't have to go back there again...or at least anytime soon.  Other than that nothing really new to report.  Thanks for reading, God Bless.

This Week So Far

Hello everyone, Well not too much is been going on.  My right eye is still twitching, just not as bad and not as often as it was before.   My hands both of them in the palms have started hurting all of a sudden and I really haven't done anything different with them than usual.  My speech is a little off and I have messed up a lot of what I want to say especially today I think I have noticed it more,  Anyways, have a good night and God Bless,  Thanks for reading.
