Physically, I’m tired, but my mind refuses to let me sleep. Time is getting hard to keep track of, as I’ve been up and down health-wise since I fully relapsed last Wednesday. Today was one of the more miserable days of my sickness, as my body started freaking out in various unpleasant ways in addition to spasms. This includes breaking out in hives and cold sweats. Suffice it to say: not pretty.
We’ve been waiting to hear back from the neurology department at Stanford, but I may have to go back to the previous neurologist if I don’t get an appointment set up soon enough. As my body’s seemingly started waging war on me, sitting around waiting has become more and more unbearable.
I’ve been trying to “keep up a good attitude” about this whole thing, but on days like today, all I feel like doing in between the discomfort is whine. Can someone diagnose me already? Or better yet, administer a treatment that works?

Ack. I feel so bad that you have to deal with this. I’m still hoping it’s nothing serious, like a non-life-threatening food allergy or something.
It’s okay to say that it sucks though. I mean, it does.
Oh, you poor thing! I’m thinking of you!
^ We ALL are, not to mention a good deal of nail biting and cursing of slow neurologists. I really wish I could make some suggestions. It may not help your spasms, but maybe a massage? Those are relaxing anyway.
Yeah, hoping somebody does their job and gets to the bottom of this soon.
Holy crap. Now I feel bad for not being more diligent with keeping on top of your blog entries.
Gah
Good luck! (and now I’m totally googling your symptoms. Freaky.)
… and this is the closest thing I found:

We need Dr. House and his crack team!
7 years of chronic back pain. no conclusive diagnosis. i understand. i sympathize. *hugs* best way to deal with docs is to realize that they are just people. they make mistakes, they forget stuff, they misdiagnose, and when in doubt they prescribe meds. so you gotta go in there knowing your stuff and explaining things at least three times, and keep going back until you are positive they have done everything possible to help you.
i wish you all the best. if you need a sympathetic ear. or a laugh, which is sometimes better. send a tweet!
Elea:
Let me pray for you:
In the name of Jesus I command the spirit of sickness go away from Elea.
Our father in Heaven, you are full of mercy, please take care of Elea, give her peace and strength in you while going through this trial.
Jesus, by your blood our sins are washed away, by your stripes we are all healed. Thank you for what you have done for us.
Please forgive Elea’s sins, and heal her today.
Praise your name Jesus.
Amen.
Reference: Jesus has the power to overcome sickness and demons.
(Matthew 8:16) That evening they brought to him (Jesus) many who were oppressed by demons, and he cast out the spirits with a word and healed all who were sick.
(Matthew 9:35) And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction.
Elea:
Jesus healed my chronic insomnia of 20 years. I have seen many miracles happened to my friends too ( liver cancers cured instantly ..). But what impressed me most were stories of two of my closed friends. One of them died from Pancreatic cancer the other from lung cancer. They all died young ( 33 years and 48 years old). In their early struggle with the disease, they were frustrated and frightened. After they turned their trust to Jesus, everything start to turn around. The joy and hope came back to their daily life. They started to have the courage to face the challenges the disease brought upon them. They were getting closer and closer to Jesus in their spirits. I had the opportunity to visit them in their final days. They were filled with peace and joys, you can saw the glow on their faces despite the agonies from diseases. Both of them had seen Jesus and angels around them at their final moments that they knew they had reached the end of earthly life and the new life with God had began. I wish my life on the earth will end the way as theirs without the disease.
Elea: I wish you can find joy and healing both in spirit and physical body.
Mat 19:26 But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
