Beloved,
Brain X-ray shows extensive periventricular T2 hyperintensity, with finger like projections extending cephalad from the ....
Some of you have been telling me that I should have my head examined. Now we know why I am not normal!!!
From what I have read, high blood pressure, diabetes or MS are the causes. I could tell some things were changing. I was substituting words and prefexes for somthing else. My blood pressure was 210/130 last week at the doctor's office. Yes I am on stronger meds again.
So i have hemorages in my brain, AS, flaring muscles, facing 3 disk fusions, everying high should be low, everythinhg low is high in my blood work. My knees just literally throb all the time.
I am sure glad that there is nothing seriously wrong.
I am coming to the conclusion that this old carcass is not worth much more investment!
Thanks for reading, I know many of you are in the same shape, keep the faith, express love and always choose to forgive when possible!
to hell with the devil!
Lon

That's right Lon, I agree with Sue. I hope they find out more on what's happening and what to do about it.

AS stinks but we all are coping here in one way or another.
Take care of whatever is going inside of that ole noggin' of yours. As Sue said I think that ole carcass of yours is probably a doggone good investment.
I'm glad you are here at KickAS and for that alone your carcass has been a gift in my life

Well, Lon, I guess this may be a factor in your "adventures". If you respond well to treatment, you won't have as many new chapters to add. Are you getting set up with physical therapy? I'm glad you got your head examined. I won't hold out any hope on you getting normal, though. And that's okay!

Oh Lon, my dear friend, your carcass is the best investment. Hang tough as usual! That blood pressure is totally out of control and very dangerous. I hope the stronger meds are working. I worry about you

Friends,
I have an appointment the 8th..
It has dawned on me that I have fallen nearly every day now for weeks. Soooos
Love ya all. Thanks for being here for me through the years.
Remind Lin, that when my bulb gets dim, I have done a lot of live'n generally looked for the best and found so much good in so many people.
I am afraid that I will not not be able to communicate how much pain I am in, during my last years on this earth. Until then, may you all be richly blessed and find true happiness.
L.
