Day by Day with Parkinson's and Peripheral Neuropathy

I was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease and Peripheral Neuropathy in 2006, but my symptoms seemed to take a turn in a different direction in late 2007. The current diagnosis is Essential Myoclonus. You will find record here of a my journey - coping with the testing, the medicines, nutrition, digestion problems, exercise, the emotions, and no telling what else!

Nothing in My Brain!!

We got the MRI results today, and everything in the brain scan looks normal!! That's a big sigh of relief for both DH and me, as we've neither one said the words brain tumor out loud, but we've both been thinking it, and I've been Googling all sorts of possibilities.

I just made the follow up appointment, and that's going to be another two week wait. That's the most maddening part about this whole process - all the waiting. But I was determined to get the very best Neurologist we could possibly get on our insurance list, and that means a busy, busy doctor. It's kind of like a restaurant with no cars out front at lunch time. You wonder what's wrong with the place. You may have to wait a while at a good restuarant, but the wait is worth it.

We went to the Thrift Store today. It wore me out, but I sure did enjoy getting back to a normal routine and getting out of the house. We also visited for a little while with a lady from church who's in the hospital, so I've had a full day today.

Yippee!! We both can breathe a little easier tonight!!

    You are so right, Jackie! We've been on pins and needles all day long, waiting to hear the report from the doctor on this one. As one of the earlier posts had said, I've had MRI's to show problems in the brain before, so this was really GREAT news!!

    You are my first commenter on my new blog!!
    Thanks!
