Steve,
Thank you so much. It's so difficult because I do really see the symptoms! I have definite atrophy on my right side where my waist is and real right arm weakness. My middle finger on my left hand isn't moving like it should.
If I was getting better, believe me, I would from what I've heard about it. I have definite atrophy on my right side now. My breathing has been difficult lately.
I'm getting an EMG done in about 2 weeks. I pretty much had to demand one. Update: June 7 and 8 I had a weak right arm. My breathing is a little off. My arm seems ok now.
By the way, I've lost 10 pounds since all this started. I was laying down one day, and I think I have hyperflexia because I wasn't even asleep and my right leg jumped heavily and then my left arm and then right arm. I still have occasional twitches.
I am 27 (almost 28) years old. I developed shingles on my right forehead May 13. Everyone thought it was poison ivy, and being the hypochondriac that I am, I didn't believe it and googled. It looked just like shingles, and I was officially diagnosed with them on May 18th. The swelling moved...
