MDJunction to me

tomboykimi"What MD Junction means to me is a place where i can feel like im not alone. As someone with something as rare as hydrocephalus, it feels like im the only one in the world with it. When i came to MD, its like everyone has it. It doesnt feel like im alone. And that people need to hold up a sign to say what i have, because people know. And they understand. I can get questions answered from people who have been through it rather than from doctors or people who only can tell you from a physical standpoint. THat is what MD junction means to me."

Catching up

Jan 31 2013

I'm really behind here....let's catch up.  Seizures started just before Christmas...went to ER the first night, had 4 that day.  CT scan was clear and was referred to a nuero.  That appt is Feb 12th.  Having mild seizures daily, full seizures down to once a week or so.  The pain is constant and intense.  I'm stiff as a board up and down my back and legs

Tremors

Sep 22 2012

So I finally talked to my GP about these damn tremors.  Since there are no neurologists left in Hot Springs, he is gonna try to work them out with me himself.  He is such a caring doc, I'm so glad I found him.

He said he is going to treat them as essential tremors for now, because I'm not doing the pill rolling or shuffling (two symptoms of Parkinsons)  BUT that doe



Reflection

Sep 16 2012

This week I've been so irritable.  I have been snippy with the dogs, which isn't like me at all, and I'm lost patience for most people.  I guess this started back a couple of weeks ago when someone accused me of being a con artist and a thief.  It's almost funny cuz it's so ridiculous, but it hurt so much that I've not found the funny factor in it.  H

Cant sleep

Jul 22 2012

Up again, I do this every night....go to bed, roll around a bit and end up having to get back out of bed.  Then I'll be exhausted tomorrow afternoon and need a nap...during the hottest partof the day.  

 I have so much to do, I really overloaded my plate this time.  I need to better manage my impulses to start projects and focus on finishing what I've got start

Itchy

Jul 21 2012
still itchy, it truly sucks

I'm such a dork

Apr 14 2012
I just posted a thread titled Sleep...wrote this big long thing about how weird my sleep has gotten.  Then I went back to the list and saw a thread by broken titled sleep.  Hers was so informativeand helpful...mine was just me babbling.  

Monday morning dreams

Apr 09 2012

I was at a family reunion, in a very beautiful mansion with gorgeous gardens and fountains.  Brad Pitt was my cousin....and it was the "Legends of the Fall" Brad..long hair flowing aroundhis gorgeous face.  He kept finding me in quiet places, sneaking kisses and so forth.  Great dream except the dogs were restless and woke me up!

The next one was really different.

Day One

Apr 02 2012

Well, I just realized there was a diary on this site.  I haven't kept a diary in years so I am gonna start slow.  Pain today is about a 5...normal.  Been playing scrabble on FB sothat hasn't helped the pain at all but I'm convinced it helps my brain.   Chris always tells me...if ya don't use it, you lose it.
