On the journey...

...back to crazy town!

Despite having the EMG test done that came back normal (only took 20 minutes or so, so i am thinking NOT long enough to get good readings), i am still have real issues with speaking and swallowing, so i believe i have Bulbar ALS which starts with the tongue..

Oh good grief....
I am STILL twitching over my entire body, i have denting in my hand which i think is atrophy.... i can't go through this all over again!

I've just read that jaw/teeth chattering (check, no i am not cold it just happens),  abnormal startle reflex (check.  If i am startled i get the feeling of an electric shock through my body), feeling food go down really slowly (check),  inability to swallow at times (check, it's like i go to swallow and i just can't), brisk reflexes in the deep tendons (check) are all signs..........great!!!!

:-( Oh no, I am sorry about all this :-( I get all the same stuff (especially the swallowing almost every day) but not so much with the talking. You keep going missy, you are doing so well. Has your doc said anything about the talking thing ? xx

From the mouth of an EX agoraphobic

-
A friend of mine yesterday pointed out what a person had written on their blog about being agoraphobic. Said person is an EX agoraphobic...this is what was said. "Agoraphobia is a selfish state of mind. Its completely "curable", and yet some people just wallow in their own self-pity and will never ever get over themselves and recover. When you are so worried about yourself all the time, how can you possibly be a good mother to someone else? Or a good wife/girlfriend/friend? I've unfortunately been the agoraphobic, and I've been the agoraphobics friend. As the friend, it was miserable. Nothing was ever about anything else but them. It was annoying and frustrating. And completely in their hands to change it, but they wouldn't. Because they're too selfish and self centered. Those aren't qualities people like in a person." Opinions please?

It DID get worse..

...now there's a shocker! I have spent the entire evening in hospital. We had to call an ambulance, these feelings in my heart were insane. I was sat in the back on the ambulance and they did all my obs. I was tachycardic, my BP was really high (usually its stupid low) and my ECG was showing Atrial fibrillation, meaning the top two chambers of my heart are beating faster than the bottom two. I was put on oxygen as well because my breathing was a little bit crappy. The medic man stuck a candular in my hand and hit a valve apparently, my hand swelled up in seconds, it was so painful. Got to the hospital and did all the necessary things and then we had to wait...and wait...and wait. Where they'd stuck that needle in the back of my hand and hit the valve, it started going dead. I couldn't feel 4 of my fingers! I called to get someone to take the bugger out. I'm left with a lovely bit blue bruise this morning. My step-father was called to pick us up because we thoug
