From what I could make out, my right side registered lower than my left side..but then again I have NO idea what Im looking at! LOL
Went to My Neurologists this morning to do a Sensory Nerve Conductor study..or Sensory /Motor Nerve study..What was supposed to be a 15 minute test turned into an hour as with the New Government standards for the new year, I was the lucky guinea pig to be the first patient needing this test with the new requirements of what CAN be done, and what CANT in these procedures.. the guy had to keep leaving the room for a half an hour to consult with the other doctor as to the new rules and guidelines and questions to be observed etc... Lucky Me! ! Basically I get shocked like a tazer would for half an hour.( not a straight half an hour, just on and off for 5 minute intervals} . they attatch these conductor pads to areas like my wrists, calves and pointer fingers and apply this taser like gun with sonogram gel on it to my fore arm and back of my leg{ Much like a dogs shock collar), and wrist and zap me and make my fingers and toes twitch and measure the range..I also underwent an Electromyography test( or EMG) where they attatch pads to my neck and send pulses down my back twitching my arms like a spaz.. ( Was wondering when out of the blue he asks me " SO, hows your back and neck been lately?'" HUH? Anyway, I had this done as I have been getting pins n needles in my toes n fingers and they are to others extremely cold to the touch, but feel normal to me except when Im yelled at to " KEEP THOSE POPSICLES OFF ME! "when I go to snuggle in bed..:(..and losing feeling in them and bad back pain and stiff necks..like If I make a bath or shower for Brendan, what I think is lukewarm temperature winds up scalding him! and what seems like a nice warm shower turns out to be a steam bath on my mirrors! Or if I stand for too long, I cant sit down or walk without being in extreme pain! But turned out, My bloodwork came back normal, as did my Tests.. so neither they nor I can figure out why I've been having these issues... I guess better safe than sorry right? Guess Im just a cold blooded clod with a bad back? I donno.. but its always good news to have them come back and tell you you're Normal. ;)
