Have You Missed Me?

OMG! I feel amazing! I am 90% back to my normal "Mrs. Tracy Wood". The new medication last night was a miracle worker!
for those who don't know: Here is a catch up: (disregard if I have talked to you)
I had not slept longer than a solid 2 or 3 hours since Monday the 8th
I went to primary doc and then to a neurologist because my body had developed a tremor on the right side of my body predominately in my right leg. The tremor was sometimes every 5 seconds for a couple hours. POSSIBLE DIAGNOSIS is Propriospinal Myoclonus(go Ahead and Google it): an infection in the spinal chord that cause "muscle jerks"

They attempted to treat with Valium and it didn't phase me so last night my nuero doc prescribed Clanazapam or what I call MIRACLE PILL

I slept from 7pm last night to 6am this morning. I feel great. I am still feel very bruised up and down my entire back. As if someone sucker punched me. Its a pressure like feeling. The Doc said it is likely to be from the inflammation on my spine. If I had tremors last night I don't recall them so who cares right. Sad part is I cant live on this medication. :(
I should hear from the Doc (neurologist) today regarding dates for my MRI and EEG tests to find out if this is my brain or my spine misfiring.
I only hope for quick, easy, steps!
As long as I feel this much energy though I will be happy.

He did say that the tremor can spread throughout and it indeed has gone to my arms. So now my shoulders are tender as well as my inner right thigh from all of the movement.

Ok so regardless my blog as many of you know has been abandoned and my FB posts are not chipper as usual. Just give me awhile I will be back up and going in no time. Great positive side of things...I am down 38lbs as of yesterday morning. 3 pants sizes. Yay!
