EMG RESULTS ARE IN!!!!!!!! The results show no carpal tunnel; however, my doctor still thinks I have carpal tunnel. MAKE UP YOUR MIND!!!!! Either I do or I don't...can't be both. Anyway, I have to see a hand specialist on July 3. Hopefully I'll get some answers then. My hip has also been hurting pretty bad for about a month now...she's assuming it's just a knot in my muscles...we'll see about that. I have to start physical therapy for it soon and I'm just praying that she's right this time. Othe… Continue

Tried physical therapy, it didn't help any so now it's EMG time and I couldn't be more scared. I have no clue what it is, well I do, but I don't. And what I read of it scared me half to death. I could sure use some prayers right now and more specifically that they know what to do to help me out. RIght now I can barely hold a pen or paintbrush for more than 5 minute, let alone get a project done. It took me 10 days to paint a picture frame that would normally take 2 days. I've been forced to use… Continue

I still have no job, but I'm still looking. I've started physical therapy for my wrist and it hasn't started helping yet, which sucks because my wrist is killing me. It's like never ending pain in my wrist and it's quite annoying. Especially after 3 months of dealing with it. If PT doesn't help then I have to get an EMG done and see just how bad it is...and then maybe surgery :(. I know I can handle surgery but I just don't like being cooped up in hospital for days. Right now I'm typing with pin… Continue

I finished up school this past Wednesday and I couldn't be happier. I needed a break, but now I'm bored out of my mind just sitting at home day after day. I'm looking for a job, but I think it's going to take a while to get one. Hopefully I'll find a really desperate place and be hired there:-P. I'm still doing really well, we're working on getting me off the Lithium now. I'm down to 600mg at night, from 1200 daily...so it's a big decrease, but I'm feeling great and that's all that matters. I th… Continue

I hope this day finds everyone doing good. A lot has happened in 6 days. I saw two doctors and started exercising A LOT more than I used to. My parents are kind of worried that I'm over doing the exercising, but I know I'm not, I only do what my body can handle. Today at 12:46a.m. I turned 20. I'm excited about it, but not for reasons other people are. I'm excited because it's one more year that I can add onto my survivorship status and reminding myself that I am a survivor is what keeps me goin… Continue
