I haven't been on much the last few days because I've been at the doctors having tests done to continue investigating what's going on with me since before the wedding ...

The neurologist has me on steroids and other meds which were causing such severe heartburn and keeping me awake till all hours because when I've tried to sleep DH has been snoring so loudly with his cold he's just now getting over, so I've been on barely any sleep at all ... which has only compounded my state of mind.

I had a CT-Scan yesterday which was no big deal ... even though I got all worked up over the idea of it b/c I read on WebMD that it could take up to 2 hours ... and after the AWFUL MRI I had a few weeks ago, I wasn't too keen on the idea.

But today I got to experience what I swear felt like MEDIEVAL TORTURE with something called an EMG. Electric shocks & needles are not fun at all .... especially when they make you move your arm around while the needle is in your arm & neck, and move the needle while your moving your arm.

I felt like such a baby during the test, the end of it actually had me in real tears.

Could definitely use some hugs if anyone has some to spare ....

I feel your pain!! LITERALLY......I had one done a few months ago in my neck shoulder and arms...It was freaking AWFUL!!!! My arm jumped so hard I actually hit myself involuntarily during the test!!!

Take some advil, hot shower and relax!!! You will feel better in the morning

aw Im so sorry, sounds awful!

Here are some to make you feel better. I know what your going through. i was in a car accident in February of '07 and have a neck injury that just recently flared up so I have to ungo excrutiating treatment again. I am just not praying for surgery that is the last resort. And I have those MRI and CT scans again. Not fun. When they did the MRI they found a cyst on my glands and ever since then i have been back and forth with doctors getting poked and prodded and they can't find anything wrong it will go away itself. It is just annoying me that I know something is wrong but they can't find it.

So hang in there and I hope they find what is wrong. I know you are probably as frustrated as me. Here are some more

Feel better soon!!!

Oh my goodness that sounds terrible!!! I hope that it was worth the pain in that it actually helps find out something that will help make you better! in the meantime, to you and everyone else who posted that they are having some kind of pain right now!
