Health Rant
Health issues are starting to tick me the heck off! Just before school began the tremors started in my right shoulder. Went to the doctor, he sent me to a neurologist - got a ct scan. They were looking for MS. I looked at the brain scan with the neurologist. It wasn't the pattern she was looking for to diagnose MS. (which is, of course, a good thing!) However, as we were looking at the brain scan, I said "Is that a spot?" It was a black semicircular thing. She agreed but wasn't a bit concerned. She inferred that the tremor was in my mind. GRRRRR!!! I felt like whapping her in the head with the arm that has the tremors and say "Oops! That must have been in my mind too!"
All this is on top of the fact that I've been walking with a cane since about the same time. We went to a cook out just before school started. The next morning I could hardly put any pressure on my right hip. More right sided garbage.
I went back to my doctor and told him what she said and what I thought of her. So.....I tried to ignore it and it slowly went away.
Last weekend I went with my family to a small mall in MASS. It was very slow going with the cane but I reached a point where I could go no further. Husband went to get the car. The rest of the evening and since then, the tremor is back. I don't seem to have any stamina at all.
On a different tack but still health related...doctor also wants me to have a sleep study and c-pap machine. I've had sleep apnea for years and he said that getting a c-pap machine and getting some genuinely restful sleep is something that has a chance of helping. Hey! I'll try it!
