I had my appointment with the neurologist on Wednesday. I must not have the best attitude towards doctors cause I wasn't 100% impressed. He mentioned that he thinks I either have an infection in the spine or Guillain-Barre syndrome. He said he's hoping it's GBS syndrome rather than the infection. GBS is pretty much a syndrome where all the symptoms are things I've had. The scary part is most cases the patient ends up in the hospital paralyzed for a few weeks, so I'm not really sure why he would want that. The only thing I can think of is he thinks my case is not serious. I should've asked more about the infection in the spine. This morning at 5:40 (yikes) I had another MRI but this time of the spine. This should hopefully give me some answers, hopefully sometime this week. My symptoms are better, my weakness still there but much more bearable. My hands and feet are the same but more of a buzzing feeling now rather then tingling. Sleeping has been so hard and I toss and turn half the night. I'm starting to get really frustrated. I'm trying to stay positive and be more thankful for my health. I'm just feeling lazy, helpless, and blah. I've gained 8lbs this month because of stress eating (I'm really good at that). Also this weakness has made it impossible to get any exercise so yeah that's no beuno. So there you have it, cross your fingers for me that they figure something out soon! Again I'm so thankful for my amazing family & friends.

I am crossing my fingers for good news or at least something easily treatable!!! Good luck Amber and keep your head up!
Fingers crossed!! And thoughts are with you!
i'm so sorry you're still dealing with this :( keep us updated on the mri results. my hubby said that testing for the GBS would have been the next step he would have taken too. hopefully you'll get some answers soon, and you'll start feeling more like yourself!!
