Just a short note to let you know that I'm improving daily - thankfully. I did have a flare-up afterall and ended up getting 3 days of solumedrol infusions, which led to a week or so of side-effects and  withdrawal. Neither pretty or  a lot of fun, LOL, but I've come out on the other side feeling pretty good -  better each day. I'm still having  problems with my hands  - numbness and odd sensations which makes typing an interesting challenge, but think that may lessen too. So, I'm happy. Even managed to get my tax stuff together to take to the Accountant!


One quick, somewhat humorous story. When I went to UCSF to see my neuro, she thought my symptoms could either indicate that I was having a flare-up or that I had an infection, so she sent me down to the lab to have  some bloodwork, etc done. When we got down there, it semed like there were about a hundred  people milling about. I went to the window, gave the lady my orders and she gave me a piece of paper like you'd get at the deli with a number on it and pointed to a lighted sign on the wall for me to keep an eye on for my turn. I looked at my number and it was 506!!!!!!!!!! I thought I'd b e spending a month there waiting for my number to come up! So, we found a place to sit down and wait and all I could think of was that scene from the movie Beetlejuice - where they were sitting in that awful waiting room next to a guy with a shrunken head and all kinds of weird and broken people and they had a  very high number too! Well, as it turned out, in my waiting room, (no shrunken heads) they were actually serving # 490, so my turn came sooner than I originally thought - I'm relieved to say.


Off to bed.
