Health update #2

well its been about 6 months and we are now in the dead of winter. Hasn't been much of a winter by way of snow and it being 30 and then 50 any other day anywho....so my mysterious illness which I learned isn't MS? I had a brain scan (MRI) and I was so nervous. It took a long time and I tried my best to daydream and not open my eyes while light were all in my face and this loud sound ringing in my ears (even with my ears covered). All that and the tests came back negative. There isn't enough evidence to conclude that its MS as I have no brain scaring, and the pain has gotten more tolerable. I still have nerve issues with my hand especially my left hand which is the hand I write with(sigh). It still feels as if its on pins and needles my right not so much. The Doc is convinced that it has something to do with my weight and sleeping pattern? I would have to have much more testing to see if it indeed MS. All the other symptoms muscle cramps, pain in right foot mysteriously disappeared. I been eating bananas and other fruit and trying to take my multi and D and C pills. Although I'd admit I'm not doing as religiously as I was at first. It seemed to have helped.
