I got to see my god-daughter Tuesday!
So I saw a new neurologist that morning, and after looking over my MRIs, CAT scans, bloodwork, muscular and ocular tests, and doing some other stuff of his own (meaning me made me try to walk on toes and heels, and he poked and prodded me in some particularly painful spots), he decided that he’s not going to throw out MS completely (since I do have brain lesions), but he thinks that it’s more likely that I have fibromyalgia. (Possibly both, worse case scenario. x_x)
Now, FM would make a lot of sense, seeing as how I have bodywide pain, though it seems that the numbness and balance is all on my right. I’m going to be starting on a new medication for FM, and in five weeks I’ll be having another MRI to check on the lesions. With any luck, the pain and stiffness can be brought under control, and maybe we can prove that I don’t have MS after all! Believe me, I’d take fibromyalgia over MS any day. Only thing is, there’s no real medical test for FM, since it doesn’t show up on scans or in blood.

Streudel makes this more like a bedtop than a laptop. He’s been glued to me since we moved out. Every time I leave the room he stands at the doorway and stares at me like I’m abandoning him.

GPOYS + story
My mom and dad used to have matching Mickey and Minnie coffee cups (and they hold like four cups of coffee), but when my dad died my mom went berserk and smashed hers one day. I rescued my dad’s cup, and it’s the only coffee cup I use now.

Rockin my mom’s old sweater-shirt today. She’s getting my dogs from the groomer now, then we’re gonna go to a hibachi grill.
