Friday - February 27th, 2009 - Can't Walk???

I woke up last night feeling like I was drunk, I was falling all over the hallway trying to go to the bathroom. I crawled back to bed and woke up this morning totally normal. That was weird.

Monday - February 23rd, 2009 - MRI Today

Spinal MRI Today. Nothing special, just same old same old. I'm beginning to feel like this mystery illness will never get solved.

Thursday - February 19th, 2009 - Appointment with Internal Medicine Doctor

He suggests another MRI of my spine since the first one was done without contrast, checks all my vitals, and orders some more blood tests. He is just as puzzled as the other doctors. At this point I am getting used to the disappointment and just follow along with his recommendations.

Sunday - February 15th, 2009 - More numbness

You know the feeling when you're sitting too long and your butt falls asleep? Well this is the feeling I woke up to today. My left butt cheek is asleep. My right side has a lot more sensation but is still not normal. Also my rectum inside is numb now. This is making is more difficult to have a bowel movement, I have to keep up the fiber in my diet!

Monday - February 9th, 2009 - Back to the Idiot Neuroligist

So I am back for test results today. Neuro quickly glazes over MRI, says brain scan in normal, keep taking meds and he'll see me in 3 months. I tell him the meds are making me sick and I'm not sure they are really the right type of medicine. Also I ask about my blood work. He didn't even look at my chart!!!! I had to tell him he ordered blood work to check for MS. I also tell him I don't want to be drugged all the time, I want to find the cause of the problem since it still seems to be spreading and I am getting worried. He looks at the blood work, all's normal. Writes me up for another prescription medicine and says to come back in 3 months.

I am beyond pissed at this point. This guy just wants to drug people and could care less about figuring out what the root of the problem is. It's time for me to move on to another doctor.

Monday - February 2nd, 2009 - So Sick today...

I feel like I am been run over by a truck today. Horrible chest cold and extreme exhaustion. The Neurontin is horrible medicine. It makes me feel drugged all the time and I think it has led to this chest cold. It's not helping at all and after all the internet reading I have done, it seems to be for patient's with pain problems not numbness. I'm going to discuss this with the doc as I HATE this medicine and cannot continue to function properly with it.
