Since I was awake late tonight I thought that I would write a little about what has been going on for the last few weeks. It really isn't much I have just been going to a lot of doctors to have things checked, prodded and looked over.

I have finally gotten to see a neurologist about the shakes or seizures that I have been having. The doctor doesn't think that I have epilepsy but he wants me to have a 24 hour EEG done soon to rule it out. I was diagnosed with epilepsy when I was younger because of an abnormal EEG but it was later determined that I did not have epilepsy because of a later EEG that was done. Here we go again. I don't know what the doctor plans to diagnose me with if it's not epilepsy but it had syndrome attached to the end of it. I guess I will have to wait to see what the results are first.

I also went to see a doctor about my shoulder and joints hurting. He says I could have arthritis or fibromyalgia. he didn't give me any advice about what to do while I am waiting to have blood test done and seeing a rumitologist. I wish that he had said more. He offered one suggestion of using those hand braces on my hands to relieve the stress on my hands. The biggest problem I have though is with my knees. So, that's another thing that I am waiting for.

All the time dealing with the stitches in my back to heal. The stitches have been removed but the hole is still healing. I wish I still had the pain meds to kill the sharp pain that I have when I lay back on it. The doctor told me that it could be another 6 weeks until the hole inside actually heals, so I could feel the pain until then.

I guess that is all that I have for tonight. I better try to get some sleep.
