Brief history: Husband had severe cramps, seizures, positive babinski, clonus, weakness compared with one side vs the other. EMG showed no signs of LMND but did show thoracic nerve palsy. All other $20K worth of tests NORMAL with our last visit. Diagonosed with Stiff Person's Syndrome (doctor...

Husband is in testing phase. Doc appt tomorrow to follow up on the 43 blood tests ordered and for the thoracic MRI (which was the last part of the spine to be done since all this started.) I know the MRI is clean except for encroachment on C6-C7 to which he is being treated. EMG from the past...

Oh silly silly me. Just cause I am a nurse, I should not play around with my medication. Just got my drivers Liscense back a month ago (I have epilepsy). I was so excited. No more getting rides with people and waiting for hours for rides home from worK. I decided that I would stop my Baclofen...
