So, I had an MRI...

on Friday. We don't have the results yet.

Two of my doctors asked me to get it, to rule out MS. I had a relapse of my limb tremors last week.

I'm kinda freaked out until the results come in.

Hopefully we will find out what is causing these stupid tremors that come and go.

One good thing: my family is babysitting Mom's friend's dog. His name is Murphy. Murphy likes to kiss people. Here he is, playing with my Dad.

So, there's that.

If I'm still pooting around at the end of the week, I may buy an X Box to celebrate.

We'll see.

Thanks, everybody.

back positive for MS. There really was something wrong. It wasn't "All in my head'" For 20 years i had known there was something. Now I had proof. I started disease modification treatments and have not had any serious exacerbations since.

I was tripping over my feet and it is only by accident that they figured it out. We will be rooting for you if that ends up being what is the cause of your symptoms.

That old waiting game is tough, I know.

Hope you can pass some time playing with Murphy. He looks as though he would be a good buddy to have when time is heavy on your hands.

Wishing you peace for your gentle spirit.

I just got my particular one named and treatment started. Things were pretty rough for a long while, but once we got me "reset" , things changed dramatically. P.M. if you need someone to talk with.

That it almost always turns out to be something not nearly as bad as I suspected it to be. You will live many more years.

Especially the B vitamins, and D. My vitamin D is so low, I may as well be an outer planet.

vitamin and electrolyte deficiencies are a HUGE a source of muscle tie-ups and spasms. So much research that currently out paces human research is currently being performed.

I don't dare cross an MD but please don't make yourself crazy until the test results are in.
