Something else....

Hello again,
     Tonight I actually saw my foot twitch, usually I move and I miss seeing it.  This was almost like the one this afternoon with the same feelings and movement.  Really weird!  The twitching felt strong.
Thanks for reading, God Bless.

This twitch was different

Hello everyone, I hope all is well with everyone that finds this post. 
     Today my daughter and I were at the kitchen table, she was teaching me how do make the plastic lanyard things.  Then I felt this strange tingle kind of (I really can't describe it any further than that).  I look over at my forearm.  It was twitching from my forearm, wrist and hand.  This was the first day that or the first time that a twitch has been that wide, and felt like that.  My daughter thought it was gross, she said it looked really weird because of the length it was.  Again, it disappeared as soon as I moved.  I just wish it would do this in front of the doctors. 
     My fingers on my left hand are also more rigid now.  With my hand, it's been going on for a good while, but now it is more often; just about everyday.  They get stuck and sometimes I do wonder if they will be able to move.
          Thanks for reading, God Bless.

I hate this...

Hello everyone, well this happened a few weeks ago.  I guess I was ashamed or embarrassed by this latest thing.  I was talking about my son and I had said his name and it was like a few seconds later I couldn't remember his name or even what it started with.  It was like the name didn't even exist in my vocabulary.  I think that has worried me the most as far as recent stuff goes.  I did cancel an appointment with the one that acted like I was making the whole thing up. 
     Last month I had a whole week where my body felt  so rigid and sore that I couldn't move, barely.  It hurt to walk to the bathroom and kitchen.  I have decided that I am not going to give in to this feeling anymore.  Today was the first day that my kids and I went for our walk, on the way back I felt some discomfort, but ignored it.  I would love to be able to skate again and to ride my bike without my legs feeling as if I stuck them into fast hardening cement.  I am gradually gonna work my way up to trying those things again.  I do tend to push myself, because I can';t sand sitting still and doing nothing.
Thanks for reading, God Bless.

life...i guess

Hello, I'm going to get everyone caught up.  I am going to put what I can remember.  A few weeks ago I was braiding my daughters hair, my hands got so stiff and sore it was hard for me to finish.  Last week I was so sore it was hard for me to get moving I think I only got up to take the kids to school, and then to get them from school.  I can say I think I almost slept the week away.  I have become more tired it is hard for me to keep my eyes open.  Sometimes I think I try to make myself not fall asleep while watching a movie or knowing that I need to get things done.  There are things that I have stopped doing cause it seems like its immediate lead feeling, but I have decided that I'm not giving in to it anymore!  If I want to skate I'm gonna skate, if I want to ride my bike, I'm gonna ride my bike!  Things like that.  I guess that is it for now.  Thanks for reading, God Bless.

I DON'T WANT TO WAIT ANYMORE

Hey.  I just read some things from a sight and normally I don't go to them.  Anyway, someone asked a question about Parkinson's having stages and that peaked my interest.  Further reading of other posts made me very unhappy.  Sometimes a diagnoses can take 2 years and the other one said it was almost four I think before the right diagnosed was given.  I can't physically go threw anymore.  I am worn out.  My daughter told me today that I have gone to the doctor so much that she worries every time I go.  We have gone through so much last year it's really not funny.  Around Christmas time we thought that I might have cancer, trying to keep things together and trying not to let the little ones know, but they know without even a word they just know.  Thank God, we found out that I didn't have it.  But I am still no further knowing what is wrong than I was when I first started.  There are two doctor's appointments in my future, and after those two...I'm done.  At least until things get worse or something major happens (I guess that would be the symptoms getting worse...lol).  Anyway, I guess I ranted enough for today.  Goodnight everyone, Thanks for reading, God Bless.

may be i figured it out...

Hello everyone, I hope this blog today finds everyone doing well.  I think I figured out what's going on with me! I remembered that my mom had told me awhile ago that she had some minor strokes either at my age or a little older.  I wonder....if that is what is going on with me.  I guess it won't hurt to ask the neurologist the next time I'm in there.  Thanks for reading, God bless.

? New Symptom ?

Hello everyone.  I know it's been awhile since the last post but life happens.  I'm not sure if this is a symptom or not, but sometimes when I am walking there is this sharp pain that starts from my hip usually on the left hand side.  It kind of feels like hot pins or something close to it.  The messing up what I want to say or very slow at what I want to say is happening again, it wasn't bad for I don't remember, but I just started noticing that again.  My heart, here recently feels as if it could just beat right out of my chest, which makes me short of breath when that happens.  Most of the time these episodes only last a few minutes or seconds.  I have been doing things that is not good for my arrhythmia such as, coffee, chocolate an things like that because of the caffeine so that could definitely be the cause of the heart thing.  I'm trying to see if I can remember anything else that has happened or that is new, but nothing is coming to mind right now.  I guess this is all for now.  Thanks for reading.
