Let's See if I can follow directions this time

Pearls and Dreams

Went to my neurologist this morning. He did a full neuro check. I can't remember the last FULL neuro check he did on me. He even made me walk down the hallway hmph!

Helping me back on the table he says "I think you've worked yourself into a nice little MG exaccerbation, and if you don't rest, we'll be visiting daily in the hospital over an IV concoction of IVIG or plasmapherisis."

So, now that MR. Lupus and Ms. MG are bloth flaring, I think it's time I actually listen to some orders and go to bed and stay there.
When double vision and shortness of breath starts, things are a sure sign it's out of control.

I go back in 4 weeks for pre surgery & decide if I'm in a flare/exaccerbation or just worse because I'm overly busy or if something else is going on.

Anyway, reading/typing has gotten significantly more difficult because the eye muscles have decided they don't have to work in tandum with each other.

So, I'm going to take a bit extra mestinon ... (yes, with doc's guidance, more than what I'd been taking extra) and go to bed. IF I feel better, I might get on for an hour this evening, if not, I'll check on things tomorrow.) i have an all day meeting I CANNOT miss on Saturday.
It may very well be Monday before you see me again.
If you need to check on me faster, you may check on me at email
PeggikayeE (don't forget the TWO E's at the end ) at aol dot com.

take care.
