Well the specialist thinks it's serious - and he said it's compounded by my having arthritis - i didn't know i even had arthritis! When did they find that out? And when were they going to tell me? Seems i also get swollen joints in the cold weather, but the lack of hand co-ordination - it's getting worse by the week.
In the words of the Guvnor "Damn these useless hands!" and seems to be the cause of greatest concern to both the doc and the specialist, especially the rapidity of my decline. As i said I'm even having problems playing Kingdom Hearts 2 - that or they've made the game more difficult!
They've taken more blood tests - 6 thingys full this time - god i sooo hate needles. Another appointment next Monday - blood work results. Then another specialist appointment and more interesting experiments where they electrocute my muscles and stuff like that as they test for neural damage.
I kept getting asked did i smoke, i replied i did used to until September. Then they asked whether i smoked pot (pot - heh doctors so hippylike) - which i replied given up a year ago and they asked whether i felt this was linked to my condition, which confused me i thought they meant smoking had caused the damage, but i think they meant did i notice it once i was less stoned.
Which makes me wonder if this other specialist is a MS specialist - they just said another specialist and i never asked what in. Could it be smoking dope has kept me oblivious to the condition for years? On the plus side does this mean I'd get cannabis on prescription! do they really do that? if only!
At least physically - heart, lungs, liver, kidneys etc I've been given a clean bill of health. Plus it turns out I'm taller than i thought I'm officially 6'3" and not 6'2" - guess i slouch!
