Hey Crystal, Awielba and everyone,, that appointment went bad and good..... Once he tested my reflexes and knew i was there because of muscle weakness he knew i had been to neurologist's before because doc's usually dont send someone to a neurologist for a pulmonary disorder.... So i had to go into my whole to do, and got the same result with him... Lets see what happens.....(He called Duke the big dogs!) The pulmonary rehab classes are three days a week for three months, and right in the middle of the work day! (So i have not started) This job i am doing now i have Friday's off and the only troubles i do have, i can keep hidden...... My hands are weak when holding objects, when i pour liquid into flasks i have a hard time. My legs and feet twitch constantly now that i am on them all day, by the end of the day i am dragging my left leg. I am not bending or hunched over all day, i sit in grown up furniture AND i get a lunch break! Physically i have been able to keep up, not at home though, but my husband has stepped up.... My co worker noticed the scar on my hand from my muscle biopsy and i said it was from a cyst... I do not want them knowing any of my weakness's.... My breathing issues only come into play when i am real physical and this job does not cause that.....I must say God answered my prayers with this job, i hope i can keep it up for a long time..... My boss keeps saying it takes two years to learn the job, and i cant help but think what my health will be like in two years! Whatever i have it is progressing, but very slowly and that makes all the difference! Having this job diverts my thoughts and gives me a break from the unknown... When my muscles twitch at work or I drop something or trip, i only think about it for a moment because i am too busy to dwell......
Having experienced brisk reflexes then hyperreflexia for a long time i must say it can come in handy, too bad i did not have it when i played sports. Most of the time it is a very uncomfortable feeling..now when they test a reflex i can feel an uneasy shakiness in my other arm or leg, like the hee bee jeebee's.... I dont know whats up with this whole sensory thing, the smell thing was recent and still persists and the noise and bright flashing lights has been a startler for awhile.... I went to the movies tonight and kept jumping because of the loud noise and flashing screen then i settled down and got used to it and everything felt so lively! Sometimes nothing can cause my forearm to jerk, i was in the grocery store standing in line very bored and my arms where at an angle and my elbow jerked...i was like, i hope noone saw that! I get so excited, happy and tearful in a whim! It's definetly not dull! I hope i find everyone in good spirits tonight and still pray for all on here, Sammantha
