Plans: hands
http://plansandlaughs.blogspot.com/p/hands.html
This is the tragic timeline of the demise hands/life. Between April and June 4th. I hold my hands in flexion and then extension for 30 seconds. No results. Then he has me do it fast, holding for 1-2 seconds each time. Immediately, the tingly/numb feeling is in my fingers on my right hand. (Pinky and thumb excluded.) He tells me that it's carpal tunnel syndrome, not MS. I feel better but I'm annoyed there's something wrong with me. Diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome is made. Upon reflection that I'd had ...

Brain Fog: August 2012
http://fogbegone.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Living the undiagnosed life. Aug 23, 2012. I have officially lost my mind. I have joined a 'hot yoga' studio for three months! Before I got sick, I used to be a regular at yoga classes. Once, about a year and a half ago, I had a private yoga lesson in my home to see if I was anywhere near ready to go to a class. It was embarrassing! Let me tell you about hot yoga. It feels like exercising in a sauna. I longed for air conditioning.I silently cursed myself for trying this hellish endeavor. More than anythi...

Brain Fog: Adding T3
http://fogbegone.blogspot.com/2012/02/adding-t3.html
Living the undiagnosed life. Feb 11, 2012. Despite my reservations, my visit to the endocrinologist actually went quite well. The endocrinologist told me that adding T3 made virtually no difference for most people - the only notable exception being people with depression. Because of my history of depression, he thought it would be worthwhile to try adding T3 at 25mcg/day (half in the morning, half at night). So this morning I took my first dosage of T3.and I screwed it up! February 11, 2012 8:28 AM.

Brain Fog: July 2011
http://fogbegone.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Living the undiagnosed life. Jul 17, 2011. After months of debating whether I should quit the program, look for a new advisor, or soldier on, I've made a decision: I'm taking some time off to think about my future. Grant you, this probably sounds like indecision, but for me it is an accomplishment. I took a deep breath and told my advisors that I will not be pursuing the thesis that they had signed off on back in April. I need to work on something meaningful to me. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Brain Fog: May 2011
http://fogbegone.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Living the undiagnosed life. May 31, 2011. What the bleep is wrong with me? The past few days I have slept nearly non-stop around the clock - waking up only to complete the most crucial life functions.like eating. My body hurts in ways that make no sense. My elbows hurt. My legs ache. I feel like I completed an Ironman and then lost a few rounds in the boxing ring. The sun outside hurts my eyes and I hide in the darkest room in the house to avoid the light. Is this a flare? May 29, 2011. A week ago, we w...

Living the undiagnosed life. Aug 27, 2011. Modafinil: A short story told in pictures. This is how I feel on Modafinil*! And this is how I feel the day after Modafinil. Modafinil is also known as Provigil. Aug 22, 2011. Penelope, Montana, 2003. Rock climbing used to be my passion. Five nights a week I could be found in the climbing gym, working the walls and bouldering until my wrists trembled. I have dreamed of being back on the wall, and this past Saturday, I made that dream come true. Non Trad Pre Med .

Living the undiagnosed life. Feb 24, 2012. My annual physical - the good and the bad. Here is a summary, as I remember it, of what my doctor told me:. Noticed that my ferritin level is still very low (up to 28! Advises I increase supplements and repeat labs in 2 months. [note: I've been on supplements now for 5 years]. Believes I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and that I need to learn to pace myself, live with my limitations and treat the symptoms. Told me that MCH means "red blood cell height".height?
