So, none of the test results were positive, which means I have nothing that can be detected through blood. (Hooray for no gonna-syphl-herpel-AIDS!) Since the anti-seizure meds were not stopping the shaking, they told me to stop taking them. Which is good because they were making me highly stupid. And drool. I was totally headed for the short bus.
I am now going to a neurologist whenever one has an appointment, so maybe by 2010.
In the mean time, I cam still shaking, but am getting used to it. I walk like a cross between Ed Grimley and George Jefferson. So pretty cool. I sing "To A Deluxe Apartment in the Sky-high-high" a lot.
But it could be worse. I could be Rocky Dennis.

"Ooooh! That's hot!"
"Yeah, that's red. And when it cools down, it will be pink."
"Go make yourself well..."
yes, please do
word verif was
wootics
again, maybe that's the diagnosis
but seriously
I would be a total basket case...and here you are making us laugh.
Can I have the pills? Then I will have an excuse for the stoopid, and the drool.
What Sue said.
Oh, and I want you to be well. Neurologists scare me.
Eh. It is nothing, I am sure. And if it IS something, then I will milk the MONKEY out of it. You can take that promise to the bank.
Do you even know how funny you are?
Thinking of you, and get better!! Soon.
I always worry that when I have any sort of tests run that I will accidentally get a positive for some sort of std and then I'll try to explain to Husband that it can't be right but he won't believe me and we'll find out that it was all some lab tech's mistake after he's already left me. That's my only problem with having tests run.
Seriously, though, hope you feel better. If the dr. prescribes Disney, I'll help with the treatments.
Specialists are the hardest to get into. But, I certainly hope they'll push you in a bit sooner. drool and all.
I keep checking in to see if there is any news. Crossing my fingers for you!
By the way, how many calories do you think are burned by constant shaking (silver lining?)?
I am crossing my fingers, and praying, and sacrificing chickens left and right (ok, maybe not that last one so much) for a QUICK and EASY solution.
It just occurred to me - if you ever tried that vitamin B6 I recommended (and if you're still trying it) maybe you should stop. I think too much of the b's can do things like this.
BTW - when I used to live on Celexa, Lamictal was the only way to keep me from punching people in the throat - but I can see how if I didn't have the Celexa making me have something akin to 'roid rage then it would indeed have been short bus time ;)
Wife, that is why we are friends. Because I have run through the same scenario in my head.
CKW, I don't know how many calories, but I am pretty sure it is not enough to cover the Girl Scout Cookies I bought at the gym yesterday. Yes, at the gym.
I thought, maybe, it was getting better, but it is not. It is getting pretty frustrating. And I am really tired of not sleeping. Get it? Get it? But I can make an appointment on Tuesday, so hopefully that will be a plus.
I love that you bought girl scout cookies at the gym. I really really hope you get this all sorted out really soon. Really really. I mean, the Ministry of Silly Walks is only funny if you can opt out of it, and if it doesn't make you tired and sore. Fingers crossed!
