Am I well? Not exactly. Still have the numbness in the arms/hands/torso/abdomen/legs & feet. Tingling prickles in the hands and lower arms. . Only slightly in the feet. I can take a deep breath, although a tad painful, am joyous that it can be done. The mind seem to be clear as well and that's certainly a good thing.
The facial tics and spasms are no longer constant, but sporadic at best. Lips, about a fourth of my tongue and front jaw line still numb but vastly improved from a week ago. My teeth no longer feel as though something is wedged between each and every one. Still have no appetite but have no nausea as long as I stick to small portions. The intestines seem to be waking from their sluggish existence.
My scalp is no longer intensely dry (and yes, I have been soaking my head in olive oil or coconut oil at least an hour prior to washing) that it hurts. Hair is still falling out, but not at the rate I feel the need to go hunting wigs online.
I still have to concentrate on walking, the lower back pain and numbness in the legs still pose a challenge. Sure not going to complain about a slow gait coz I sure disliked the jerky mess with uncontrollable legs that I've been. The family is most happy with my gait and speech.
Do I have high hopes of finding a diagnosis, prognosis tomorrow at the doc's? No, I will not be disillusioned as I already have an idea of the answers that lie in wait. The lab results will reveal a mess, I'm certain, but no real answers. My labs are typically horrid during and shortly after one of my crash'n burns - with the troubles I've had with this one, there's no telling what all will be awry. It's either my kidneys or liver that is off the charts, only to return back to normal within a week or two.
We shall see what the 'morrow brings. Hopefully I'll be even more improved by appointment time.
