I haven't had a chance to sit and concentrate on here, but I received a call last week from my neurologist with my 72 hr EEG, stress test, and 1 hr cognitive test results. My EEG was normal. Exhale. Finally some positive news and I got to relax for a few days. My stress test and cognitive test though just resulted in more testing. I am pretty bummed over the news. I now have to take and 8 hour cognitive test to make sure there is no onset of Alzheimer's. I failed my first one in the processing portion. I really think they set you up to fail on that one. 8 hours of puzzles and memory testing? Seriously? The stress test results showed hypertension, and my blood isn't circulating like it should. I will have to have a venous Doppler ultrasound done for that. I will have my MRI done next week and still have the nerve conduction test to schedule.
I was able to do more the past weekend than I have done in sometime. We spent the day at our cow pasture, then I went shopping for a bit and watched a movie with the girls. Sunday was church and then I cooked a big meal for us. I spent the better part of yesterday resting. I woke up feeling very good this morning too. We leave for our family cruise in just 2 days and that is where I will get a lot of relaxation. The warmth alone will help with my cold bones. Last week my circulation was so bad that my legs and feet were asleep for almost 3 days. I had this strange sensation of cold water running down them as well and horrible night sweats and bad dreams. It's fair to say that my co-infection Bartonella is wide awake and my body is attacking it like it should. I'm feeling positive despite the setbacks in the news mentioned above. It's all about taking care of myself at all expense now.
