Is this Spasticity?

Hi, Everyone.

   I'm having a bad time these past few days. My back and pelvic area, abdomen, and my inner thighs have this pulling sensation. Is this spasticity? I am absolutley miserable. Keep trying to stretch but nothing relieves it.

   Still awaiting the EMG results and Dr. K's opinion.

Chris, it really is horrible. Some days, the pain is so unbearable, I just ask God to call me home. So, I am really hoping the solumedrol decreases the inflammation around the nerves. Can hubby really discharge himself from the hospital? wow. If we did that here, our insurance wouldn't pay our bill. Yes, I cannot believe how much work I've done. Of course, now I am in agony. Maybe some time in the hospital will be good. Although, it looks like it's not going to be soon. Still no call back from the nurse. She didn't know who to call to schedule it. Said she'd have to ask the doctor. I don't know, I would think she should call the hospital scheduling dept.and ask them. I wouldn't mind wrinkle free if I could stay that way. LOL XXX Sheila

Hi, Zilla. That 'moon face' might not be so bad. LOL Of course, on the other hand, it might make a bigger target for someone when my irritability ticks them off. LOL

Hi, Chris. Thanks, I hope they the steroids resolve this stinging in my spine. I feel like I am on fire.

My D.O.s nurse is having trouble figuring out how to schedule my infusion. I don't think they've ever had to schedule one as inpatient before. So, it looks like it might take some time.

I wish I'd had it already, I could have used the energy today. I worked on the kitchen cabinets and drawers;11 double cabinets, 2 singles, a Lazy Susan, and 9 drawers. I never want another kitchen this size again! Really making me re-think our decision to sell the house & move. Too much work.

I'm grumpy without the steroids. LOL

Congratulations on the new puppy!  I think she'll boost your energy! Nothing like a new puppy in the house.

Just think~ If you get the "moon face" from the steroids it will plump out any fine lines or little wrinkles you may have.  I'm so jealous!
