Update on Sally

Sally is still having some symptoms although we still have no answers. The dizziness is all but gone. The numbness in her face remains as does sporadic ringing in her ears. Her main problems are now fatigue and weakness.

The neurosurgeon and the neurologist both said the same thing. "Wait and see." Sally and I didn't like that answer so we went to see a different neurologist at the University of Minnesota Medical Center. There the doctors did another MRI. They too found the spot on Sally's brain but they don't think that it has anything to do with her symptoms. Again we were told to "wait and see."

We have tried to self-diagnose by using the Internet, and we have found that most of her symptoms match MS. But the doctors say it is too early to say that it is or isn't MS.

So here we are. We have no appointments scheduled until February. Sally just tries to do her best to get through each day. She has started back to work on a limited basis but comes home VERY tired.

I will update here when I know more.....

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and God Bless!!

I waited 3 months for surgery while everytime I moved I bled everywhere. i wanted to kill myself because the doctors had no answers for me-they yanked all my female organs-just in case that was it-but it wasn't.
Never lose hope hun, the answers will come!
after having a total hysterectomy they found out-I FOUND OUT AND TOLD THEM it was a muscle issue that could be fixed with exercise. I wanted to sue the doctors who took out my organs for the wrong reasons. It turned out they were all precancerous! Everything happens for a reason!
I pray for ya Sally. Keep the faith. We are all pulling for ya!
