I saw my el Doctoro this morning. I presented all the symptoms of extremity numbness, weakness, mental confusion and difficulty speaking. The Doctor is a little worried but not enough to send me to the hospital immediately. I figure it can't be too bad since the symptoms seem to get better then get worse. They don't completely go away but they get less noticable and annoying.
The Doctor has sent me home with an almost full page requisition for blood and urine tests. There are a couple of fasting tests so I'm hoping to get them done tomorrow. (I THINK the lab is open tomorrow.)
She said that I'm presenting like a stroke, but not really and I'm presenting like MS, but not really. How's THAT for reassuring? LOL So now I need to get the tests done and get the results so we can figure out what to do next. She may also have to send me to a neurologist but we'll wait until the test results are in.
On a better note, my blood pressure was FABULOUS! The Doctor told me to start taking a baby aspirin a day now as well as the other meds.
Wait and see what happens is the way it is. I'm not going to freak out until there is something to freak out about. Maybe. LOL

Not really encouraging, Christine. I'll be thinking about you while you get poked and prodded.
I had them bleed me on Saturday so now I'm waiting, waiting, waiting. I don't do well with waiting. LOL Patience is not my strong suit.
Are you going to let us know what the blood tests reveal? Hope it's nothing serious.
