I'm Normal

Eight years ago we had a minor scare... my hands and legs would go numb periodically and have pins & needle feeling. They ran the whole gamit on me to check for MS ~ MRI, spinal tap, electroid test, blood test and they found nothing ~ good news, bad news. With a barrage of pregnancies and nursing the symptoms just sort of subsided (or I just ignored) into the background for the past eight years. The past two months, though, the syptoms have reared their ugly head and again a lovely course of blood tests & most recently a MRI followed. This MRI was longer and I got shot up with some dye to see the contrasts better. I had it done on Monday & they handed me my films ~ 15 extra large xrays of my brain and C-Spine ~ and said the results would be in 24 hours. Tuesday came and went with no phone call, so on Wednesday I called them... They'd have to get back to me... They did. The results are ~ "Normal". I'm not sure that anyone has ever used that word to ultimately describe me, but there it is. Normal. I'm still hoping its just a few pinched nerves or big knots that a few deep tissue massages can work out, but for now I'm holding on to the fact that I'm Normal!
