Woke up and couldn't walk

[T-lynn]

This all started last evening,I started noticing my legs didn't want to move,thought it was just exhaustion.

Got up this morning and had no control over my legs , they wouldn't even support my body.Finally after crawling to the bathroom----not a pretty site, my son got me my leg braces and they add little help.

Its as if they aren't getting the message from my brain to move.Is this possible.Plus I'm having repetive electric zings and zaps down my right leg and they are painful,thats been going on for 24 hours and my meds aren't helping

I did put a call into my neuro,but I got his answering service,I tried to wait it out to see if it would pass.

I really don't want to go to the ER with having the kids at home,I want that to be my last resort.I know they'd probably keep me.

Carol,

No I don't have a wheelchair nor walker,I do have a cane which helps.

Zilla,

have talked to the neuro's assistant and she was a witch I mean that in about the nicest form I can put it.She was very snotty on the phone when I called back.

She stated that since I have an appointment thursday afternoon,to wait it out.She said the neuro stated since I am a new patient ,I seen him 2 weeks ago, he'd have to wait and see me then.

Boy did I open a can of woop a** on her.I told her to tell that neuro that he has all my medical records and its time to open the d*** thing and read it.She's says what do you want the DR to do.

Oh, the wrong thing to say to a person that can't walk,feels electricuted and in severe pain.I told her for starters the pain needs to be controlled,I need to be able to walk,the electrical zapping I can tolerate.I told her fine I'd just go to the ER,she said even if I did the DR would tell the ER attending the same thing.I know this didn't come from the Neuro.He has a very good reputation for taking care of his patients.

She said after the neuro see's me on thursday that they'd start solu-medrol out patient at the hospital,I told her home health can do it in my home ,my safe haven and since I can't walk ,how in the sam heck do they expect me to drive there twice a day.I can't tolerate the 1000mgs at one time.

She did say she'd rediscuss this with my neuro and get back with me.I guess when donkeys fly,cause after I talked to her this morning she said she'd call right back and didn't I had to call them.

I've sat and cried since,and to add to it I have to go to court tomorrow to testify against the drunk that broke into my house.This is gonna be good.If I ain't there they can throw it out of court.

Its not been a good day

Hi, T.

    I'm so proud of your kids! Good for them! But now I'm going to have to have a talk with that dog. LOL (My Yorkies are the same way, just refuse to take themselves out.)

     Oh, I would so love that Neuro's assistant to be told  to "wait it out". Well, what goes around comes around, someday she'll eat those words.

    When you finally do get to see your Neuro, please make sure to tell him how she treated you. I used to work for an ENT, and believe me, a doctor knows his practice is only as good as his office staff.

   In my opinion, her %*@ ought to fly!

    Any way they can postpone the hearing tomorrow? I don't feel that stupid drunk should get away with breaking into your home.

    Please don't cry, T, it's going to get better.

    Hugs,
           Sheila

Is he back in his old clinic?  Can someone drive you to where he is?  You're in my same time zone, right, it's 5:00.  He's not going to be there.  Darn it!

If you go to the ER, you may not make it to court tomorrow?  Or can you?  If you can make it to court, I'd go to the ER, tell them you need some steroids.  I know this will put you off the plan for the LDN, but you need to take care of yourself now.

If you hear from the neuro, tell him his staff is HORRID!  If he wants to keep you as a patient, he needs better people working for him.  You are in big trouble this weekend, and he was unreachable.  What an idiot receptionist.  No compassion.  And to not return your call is irresponsible.  

I'm so sorry you had to deal with all that while you feel so miserable, T.  And on top of everything else you've had to deal with this month.  So sorry.  Your poor kids must be beside themselves with worry.  It's nice of your ex-husband to stick around for you guys.  Good dad.

Please take care of yourself tonight, so you can go to court tomorrow.  You need to show your kids that people can't get away with doing things like that.  I hope you're able to go!  That idiot can't get away with that!  Just to show your kids what's right, how the courts are there to help you.  I know it will be hard.  

Let me know if you hear from the doc.  IF he even gets your message.  Take care of yourself.  Feel better.

made my mind up I'm gonna go to the ER.I've waited this out as long as I can.I feel they can call the D*** neuro and disturb him.now I'm having really bad pains down the sides of my neck and my left eye is really blurry.I have warped in to H***.Nothing has lessoned and its been since sunday afternoon.

If this isn't treated now its gonna just get worse.

I'll keep ya all posted.

Ok, do you know if  the courthouse has a wheelchair you can use?  I think with all the federal laws today, they may have a wheelchair for people to have access to, similar to airports etc.  When I was on jury duty in DE, there were wheelchairs around.   If your ex helps you, are you mobile enough to get into the courtroom?.  I think that if the judge sees you and how sick you are right now and you made all this effort to get to court, then I think the judge will have no sympathy for the drunk.  However, if you really can't get in, then call the court to explain the problem.    The courts around here also have transportation for people who need help getting to a hearing or trial.  Maybe yours does too?  Remember you are the victim and have rights.  So hopefully you will have access to transportation and a wheelchair.
Now about that neuro.  My wife says that if you go to the ER after court, they will probably admit you and you could get help before Thursday.  What a horrible evil assistant.  Good Luck and remember your guardian angel will be with you tomorrow.....craig

T, I am so glad you're going to the ER. Enough is enough already, Hon, you've got to get some help.
the Neuro can D@*% well be disturbed, as long as you get treated.

I am worried that the stress of tomorrows court appearance is making you worse.

I'll be thinking of you & praying for you.

Hugs,
