Living with an Undiagnosed Medical Condition

This site is being created from a journal I have been keeping of my Mystery Illness. So far I am undiagnosed. I am doing this in hopes to help others out there through my experiences and possibly find a diagnosis myself. Go back to the archives and start from the beginning to read the whole story.

Thursday - January 22nd, 2009 - Calling the Doctor

Well I woke up and the numbess has moved deeper. I can no longer feel my bladder or bowels. I know this sounds weird but I can only tell that I have to go to the bathroom when my bladder is full. I can push on my tummy and there is no pressure sensation or pain. I do have physical control thank God! I think it's time to call the doc. They tell me to go to the ER, they will have the proper testing needed to see what's going on.

When I get to the ER I am a nervous wreck. They are concerned and move quickly to get me into a room to start testing. When I first arrived the nurse wanted a gyno doc to check me out, but after the other doc came in he was certain in was neurological and began down the road of blood work, MRI's, CTs and Spinal Taps. Ouch. After 13 hours of tests and waiting, I was told everything was normal and was sent home to follow-up with a neurologist the next day. At this point I am frusterated and confused. I was thinking this would be an open and shut case. Little did I know this was just the beginning.
