I went and saw my general practitioner who is both concerned about the numbness in my face and shocked that my old neurologist wasn't. Funny thing about this whole situation, my GP. who I adore, did her residency at Kaiser under my old neurologist. She really likes him, but has to admit she isn't quite sure what he's been thinking when it comes to my care.
As for the numbness, she's afraid it's neuropathy caused by the pressure caused by the build up of the cerebral spinal fluid. There are other possible causes for the numbness - migraines, menopause, multiple sclerosis - but she told me not to concern myself with what it might be right now. She's ordered some blood work and is getting touch with my new neurologist to see if he wants a new MRI before I see him of the fifth. If it gets worse before I see him, I need to go back and see her.
The headaches are back and I'm having problems with dizziness. I'm waiting a little bit before freaking out about that though, kind of hoping I have a virus. If it continues or gets much worse I'll get back to see my doctor.
and my eyesight. oh holy lord. thank god I'm going in to see my opthomologist soon, thats all I can say about that.
and please pardon the non sequitur can some one please tell me what in the name of all that is sacred and holy does that man's blue Lamborghini have to do with having a black president? Not only is that rhyme fucking ridiculous, I think it's kind of insulting. Just my opinion.
I think I'm going to go to bed.
