Still waiting...

Well, still waiting for the results from the newest tests. I figure I will give the Dr a call next week.

I have been taking a lot more pain medicines lately. I hate that, but not only has stress been aggravating my Dystonia, but my lower back has acting up a lot more. I've been having spasms and wake up almost every more so stiff it hurts to even roll over. Most of the time I'm able to loosen it with a hot shower.

On the good side of things, Thanksgiving was nice. Fell asleep after dinner and now I can't sleep. And we have almost all of our Christmas shopping done already. It rocks. Thank God for the internet.

Well, that's the latest for now.

Brian MRI

Today, I had another Brian MRI with contrast. This is my 3rd one with nothing yet. Everything was okay except when he put the dye in my arm. I guess the vein collapsed and some of the dye got in my arm. OMG, that hurt like crazy. I had a big knot. Put ice on it and it's better, but sure it will bruise. They said the Doctor will have the results tomorrow. Probably won't hear anything though. That Doctor's office sucks.

Fingers crossed. 

Bye, bye Artane

Well, after 2 1/2 weeks on Artane, I am going off it tomorrow. Spoke to the Doctor's office and we agreed I need to get off this medicine. I am so grateful. I started off taking it in the evening before bed. I had fogginess, dizziness, dry mouth and tiredness. When I started the second dose, everything increased and I even had 2 hallucinations. Not a good idea when you have a two year old. i felt like it's not worth it. I'd rather be in pain than live my life like that.
