Twirl your wheelchairs, swing your canes, stomp your walkers, jump up and click your heals and just plain happy dance!!!!!!! IT IS NOT MS!!!!!! YES I'M YELLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHOOOO!!
Once again the power of this group strikes again!!!! When she looked at the MRI the first time they were concerned about one particular "lesion" but today they decided it wasn't a lesion after all but perhaps a blood vessel. Now, there are a couple of small lesions but they are damage from a few of the Rheumatologic medications I took these last four years. I guess that is a known possibility with these particular meds. The numbness/tingling is neuropathy but very mild and from both long term Rheumatoid Arthritis and the meds. Soooooo, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, and thank you!!!!! You all are the bestest ever!!!!!! I will be forever neurologically sensitive, especially to meds and may need to learn to live with the side effects, but I've learned that true side effects go away once the assaulting culprit(s) no longer are present in the body: stop the med and the side effect goes away.
I am home now and loving my beloved Yorkie, who BTW, is as I suspected a walking bratwurst! Her belly looks like it might burst. Her aunties made sure she didn't go hungry! MSM is still in one piece and you should have seen her smile when Tia and I came in. She wasn't sure who she'd missed more!!!!
Well, thanks to all of you and the power of your love and support, I will live to quilt again! See, I even brought it back on topic - ain't you proud of me?
