Hi Rydra and Angela,
Thank you so much for your kind referrals. Since my original post, things have definitely taken a turn for the worse (drat.....I WAS making progress). I have had two scary electric-shock-like seizures (I think due to low potassium). I tried to "do the right thing" and consult my MD and neurologist. Seriously, all I got was the disinterested-in-your-crazy-unknown-symptoms look, despite not being able to move or speak during these incidents and having a numb tongue and unfocused eyes for days, despite having increased blood pressure (which my neurologist didn't even bother to check), and despite have two MTHFR genes that lead to early strokes and heart attacks. So, after two calls to the one doctor who knows about MTHFR but is too busy to see me, one visit to a the last GP I saw for a yearly physical, a trip to Urgent Care, and another to the emergency room, I am still waiting for my newly referred neurologist to tell me what my MRI says. I guess the only good thing that came out of this incident was that we found a needle in a haystack...................well, really.............. a needle in my brain! CT scan showed a piece of a needle I fell on when I was 4 years old. Weirdly, that's exactly where the electrical misfiring headed during both "seizures".
Onward and forward. I am seeing the NP suggested by greenshots. This Friday! I will also check our your referral, Rydra. Wishing you both good health and a large dose of humor. We need it to get through all of this.
