A lot of NOTHING

Sorry it's been a while. The MRI came back clean. The things found were very small and wouldn't of caused the problem. So back to square one. I started physical therapy and it looks like that my posture as I work was tweaking my back to the right that could account for the spasms. Now that it is being worked out you would think it would be getting better. Well I have changed my posture to stop constantly turning to the right. Unfortunately the effect is opposite to what was expected. The pain is getting worse. I am in the midst of being tested for more in depth autoimmune issues and so far every thing is coming back normal. Don't get me wrong I'm happy to not have an autoimmune issue, but we are running out of causes for the pain I'm in. I'm on anti inflammatory and muscle relaxers and this should be calming down the pain. But it is not. We are trying another round of steroids in hopes that it calms it down. The next step is pain killers that I'd rather not do. I'm not sure what we are doing next.

I know that GOD has a plan in even this.

MRI

I got a preliminary report on my MRI on saturday. I have 2 slightly bulging discs in my neck and a small crevice of fluid in my spinal cord in my neck. I'm not sure what can be done. I hope to talk to the Neurologist sometime this week. It is a relief to know that there was a reason for all of the things going on. Thankfully most of the pain is gone. If I over do it I know about it. As long as I don't get too crazy everything is good.

Thanks for all the prayers

Birthday

I have the best husband ever. Yesterday was my birthday. Jason is so funny he love surprises. So he had a lot of fun not giving me any clues as to my gifts. He got me a much needed purse. Then we went to a very nice restuarant. It's been a long time since we've gone to a really nice place. It was great and I felt very special. God really has blessed me with a great husband.

I feel bad he had already guessed his present for next month. He loves surprises but he is also very good a figuring things out. Too good. I try to surprise him and he had guess correctly all but 2 or 3 times in our 9 years of celebrations.

Way to go Chad

I have to brag. My brother in-law Chad is in his senior year of college in South Carolina. He is there playing baseball. As far a baseball goes he is awesome. This season he has broken the schools record for home runs and is getting near to the regional record. This is a great way to finish BIG. He is an amazing young man with his head firmly on his shoulders. He has devoted so much of is time to baseball and training . Even when I met him he was in 8th grade and sent all of his summer with baseball teams. We think Chad is the best. Our hope is that he will get a chance at the majors.

Neurologist

I finally had my appointment. I really don't have any answers. I will be going to physical therapy and having a MRI for my full spine.

I am now pretty good in the morning but still having the spasm and tingly feelings at night. The degree depends on my activities for the day. I'm feel very lazy.

Better????

The spasms are better as long as I don't do anything. So it hasn't been very fun. I went grocery shopping saterday that put me out for a hour with spasma so bad all I could do is sit on the couch. Easter Sunday was great. Started early but good. We had a sunrise service, church breakfast, regular service, a kids Easter egg hunt and Baptism. It was a fun filled day. It was also low key enough to not really spas out my back. Today is a struggle. My job as low key as it is, is causing my back to spas. I really hope that I can get into the neurologist soon. This sitting around stuff isn't fun.

Update

Well the Neurologist office said that they hope to work me in in about 2 weeks. Thankfully the spams and the electrical feeling going down my spine has reduced a lot. I started another round of steroid treatment as a shotgun approach to reduce any inflammation in the spine if there is any. It lasts for 10 days so I will hopefully get into the Neurologist about the time it ends. Thank You for all your prayers.
