I have pondered long and hard on this one. I have made some major major stuff ups in my life I don't have a lifetime to tell them all. I am past the yard arm, All of my stuff ups leading to my...
Oh Michelle, this is just so awful for you. We are all here sending positive energy your way. Don't give up or give in, Uppity is right, get onto those people that we pay to represent us and don't...
Hey Sunny, Please don't go......where have I heard that change of diagnosis before???? These Neuro's are amazing how they can turn their diagnosis around in a split second. So far I have had 3...
Hey Michelle, Just reading your post. I was in hospital for 3 weeks with welts from head to toe last year. It was the pits! They had me on cortisone on and off and an antihistamine tablet daily over...
Hi Lynn, Good luck with your MRI. Make your friend turn some good music up nice and loud, makes the time go faster! (I am presuming the MRI has sound communication) Last time I had one I asked them...
Thanks Michelle, no I don't know what the drug was but believe it was a combination of pain relief and sedation. They may as well have not given it to me because nothing happened. Even after they...
Hi guys, and a special hello to Al in Melbourne, don't be shy put some posts in and tell us about yourself, we are all good listeners in here! Rhonda, don't know when but they will send me a letter....
HI all, Endoscopy. Arrived on time 12.30pm and was led off into the waiting area. After a blood pressure check I was put into a bed. I had one lady beside who was very sick and had been in on Monday...
Hey all, just here for a couple of minutes to get the numbers for Powerball to see if I'm a millionaire. They don't look good. It is 9.48am here Friday so this is it! I catch the bus at 10.47 then...
Thanks Annie for the encouragement, I really needed a bit of a lift. I've felt very flat today.....just really drained. Could be cause tomorrow is hospital day, don't know really, I don't usually get...
Karen and Annie, please go to new thread, neuro visit. This one is getting a tad too long! I didn't scream, I was too gob smacked..........
Thanks Gretchen, hugs to you! I will follow up on him next week. Tomorrow is Endoscopy day for my GERD so I am trying to organise myself to get through the procedure with out cracking right up! I am...
Hi, do you have any heart problems? If not then to me it definitely sounds like GERD. I have the same thing and sometimes get a pain under my left shoulder blade and sometimes I get pain in the...
Hi there, Trigeminal Neuralgia is a condition that irritates the trigeminal nerve and the shooting electric like shock pain follows the trigeminal nerve which starts on either side left or right of...
Hey Rhonda, are you still there? Miss hearing from you. Guess you are real busy being a moderator. Hope you are doing ok cocoa...
Hi, I have pins and needles in both legs and feet, arms and hands. It is just awful. I hope that you get something for it. The ants crawling thing is another symptom of MS I think, I read it...
Hi all, Well went to the Neuro showdown yesterday and I have been just so disgusted with him and myself that I couldn't get motivated to log in here and tell you guys what happened. Here it is, this...
Hey Annie, no you are safe!!! It isn't the same Neuro and not the one who was married to Sally Anne the Mayor. I am on the Gold Coast, best not to name names, but it certainly isn't the same Neuro....
Have been to the optometrist today to get my eyes checked out. He did a photo of the back of my eye and a field of vision test. Everything looking ok except my right eye which has a little too much...
Hi Annie, Where abouts are you in Qld? You will have to tell me so I know whether to give him a double dose or not just because you will have to see him later on! You have until October and he won't...
I just popped back in to the forum and read your post Karen. That is terrible that you are in so much pain. Sounds like you have been tipped into the "too hard basket" Don't worry, there are lots of...
Hi again Karen, I haven't done my research yet as I was a bit sidetracked yesterday, however I am going to get stuck into it when I log out here. I found another one of my poems. You may find it a...
Hi Karen, Just wanted to acknowledge your post. I am about to go out to the shopping centre, it is 11.20am Sunday here. When I come back I am going to re visit all the MS websites and print out all...
Hey Tertle and Karen, just a quick note as I am off to bed. Thanks for your encouragement Karen, it means a lot. So sad about your mother in law, it is terrible to watch someone waste away before...
Hi there and welcome to the forum. I know exactly what you are going through. This is all new to you and very scary. There are lots of us here in "limbo" and we are all aboard the "limbo train" to...
Hi Karen and thanks again, I have had the day from hell with welfare but wanted to let you know that I am also fast approaching 50 next April. I now have to apply for a disability pension after lots...
Thanks Karen, I don't feel so alone with all the great people in here including yourself of course! If you have been going through this since 1990 boy, do I have a long train trip ahead! "All aboard...
Sorry all, my keyboard just went nuts and started typing wrong letters, perhaps it has early stages of MS.....lol!!! Anyway back to my conundrum of symptoms! I have developed a right hand tremor,...
Hey Karma, That is a way too long wait for an MRI, I thought I had to wait a long time! I think the Neuro at the hospital I attend (public hospital) from time to time takes on public patients however...
Hey everyone, thanks for the input! We have a time lapse here, it is now 5.50pm here 2nd August. Sorry I have not logged in sooner. Have been pacing around the house trying to keep the cat quiet and...
Hi all, I have been slack and haven't been in to visit everyone for a while. I think I have just been so annoyed with everything that I didn't want to spend another minute thinking about my...
How wonderful Uppity, my congratulations to you both also. Hanging in there when the going gets tough is what life is all about. That is so neat and let there be many more also...
Hi Debbie, I know what you are going through with your teeth. I have had facial neuralgia of the left side of my face for a very long time now. Nobody can tell me what is causing it and even though I...
Finally got the letter I had been waiting for. I have posted this in StacieC's post so I cheated and copied pasted and edited it. Won't need to type it twice! I decided not to go to my GP until she...
Hi there Stacie, I know exactly how you feel. I have been in "Limbo Land" for almost 2 years now. The frustration you feel is just awful, I think most of us here have been through this over and over...
Thanks Rhonda, I hope my little poem can be shared with others who are going through hard times. I can't imagine how she feels about what has happened as it was just so sudden, healthy and well one...
To everyone here, I thought that the members here would like to read this. My niece was diagnosed with Breast Cancer about 2 months ago. It was such a shock, she is only in her early 40's. As we are...
Sorry to take so long to reply everyone........having trouble with my new keyboard. When I type in here after a while the letters are all wrong! I think I have solved the problem. If I stop short and...
Thanks Jim, I appreciate the time you took to reply. I think I could cope with this much better if I could get a diagnosis of "whatever"the diagnosis is and problem is. The Specialist says I'm...
Oh dear! Spelling mistakes everywhere in my posts!!! Sorry for that, it tells me that something isn't really working in my brain....
Update from my previous post.......... Phoned the clinic and had the strangest experience with the receptionist. I rang them a couple of weeks ago and tracked down that my scan was in the Specialists...
Sorry, my computer just went weird and I couldn't type anything! Other new symptoms also, slurred speech, wrong words come out when I talk, tremor in my right hand first thing in the morning, the...
Hi everyone, l have been off the air for ages. I think I just became so obsessed with my symptoms and the lack of a diagnosis that I just stopped dropping by. I hope that some of you finally have...
Hi Mesea, I can relate to your foot problem. I have had really sore feet on and off for over 12 months. It feels like I am standing on a stone when I stand up or walk. I also have tingling in both...
Thanks Rhonda and Uppity, I will try and stay in touch while I am in hospital but will try and login in here a little more often now that I am just waiting for admission and don't have to attend...
Hi all, I haven't been here very often for the past month or so, I have been going here and there to my GP laboratories and Specialists. Hope everyone is ok and coping with this dreadful condition. I...
Hi and welcome to this great forum. I haven't been here for some time and when I read your post I felt I should respond. I was in hospital for 3 weeks trying to get rid of the most dreadful rash....
Hi, I have the same problem. I can't use Gaviscon or Mylanta, both these make me worse. The one I found that does work is Gaviscon. I don't know whether this is available where you are, I live in...
Hi Ronnieroller, I'm so glad I read your post. More often than not now, (every time I get out of bed and try to stand up) the pain in my heels when I put pressure on them almost makes me buckle at...
Hi Rhonda, Great to hear everything went well. Lets hope she contiues to improve and comes through those tests with good results. I know I can only deal with one thing at a time now so it is good...
