Hi skydog
when is your neuro appt? Is it at an als or university clinic? I personally would not waste time or money with a local neuro with your level of anxiety about the matter. I went to one locally and ended up going to the university anyway. I did start taking lexapro and it has helped me. I understand your fears that we did something to cause this. I have thought it myself, I use to be one of those free style hippies 15 yrs ago (hard to believe, my hubby cant imange) and smoked alot of things and drank and on top of it, I over exercising and not eating to boot! I feel I ruined my immune system, but everyone I knew then, is fine know. I cant believe that was me, I am know the most uptight mom of 3 you could ever meet! I would be so ANGRY if they ever did what I did. The point is, we cant change what we did. I have been beating myself up because after I gave birth, I got a flu shot and I think that could have something to do with this since I was in a weakend immune system state. I jsut regret that more than what I did 15 yrs ago.
Try to live and be happy. I try and it works most days. I just pretend it is all goooood. I think that "IF" this is it, you gotto be happy and live. I was a wreck untill I just stopped living like I was dying. It is hard for me, I have to look at 3 little faces every day that NEED me.
take care!
