Neurolosist

Got my Appointment with Neurologist this Thursday
I've been keeping a diary and written a list of symptoms
so he'll either think im organised or a crackpot
But the Shaking is getting ridiculous today I Threw a teabag across the room
got it out the canister then just toss there it went
then tried to put the sugar well ha ha out of 2 teaspoons I think a half went in cup
and yesterday I tried to stop my hand shaking and do what I was doing (pushing a button I think) but the harder I tried the more I shook and my Lip started jumping as well.

Hope you can get some answers to all that's going on...keep us updated...Many Prayers and well wishes to you...

I always need sedate for those mri machines as well, only thing is that your not supposed to eat or drink for 6 hours with the sedation...
Nerve damage can be cause by any number of things, are they sending you for bloodwork? bloodwork would be a good starting point...as nerve damage can be caused by any number of autoimmune diseases as well...it's a long list, sjogren's can cause nerve damage...
the emg testing is not pleasant, but for me with all my nerve damage it didn't bother me much...be prepared for lots of pin pricks...hardest ones will be the one in the back spine.
If they suspect MS then a spinal tap might be ordered and this is a very painful test, had it done in August followed by two blood patches...and you'll need to lay perfectly flat for 4 hours after the spinal tap and for a couple of days of lying flat at home as well...Since I cannot lie flat due to asthma, I went into an asthma flair right after the spinal tap, but I had a nebulizer order and that help and they cranked up my bed...I do not know why this happens to me but I cannot lie flat, this for me was the hardest test...

Hi Bad Day, Glad you had your appointment but as always it's hurry up and wait time now.

I had a a nerve induction test a few weeks ago for my Fibro diagnoses. There were no needles involved at all. They put a strap around my arm/leg and some sticky sensors some distance away from the straps. Then I experienced some electric shocks, a bit harsh but endurable and quick.

I also suffer from claustrophobia and do not relish MRIs. I told the radiologist and she gave me mirror glasses which distorted my vision so that I couldn't see the machine around me, only my feet and beyond. She also suggested that my other half stayed in the room with his hand on my leg the whole time. It worked a treat.

I hope you get a good rest now. The anticipation of a visit to the doc can really wear you out, especially when its something new.

Thinking of you. Neenaa
