Finally

I have been kinda crushed lately; the neuropathy pain is really getting me down. My sis took me to Dallas to see my child during an extended travel layover and while the trip was amazing, I was a pure dee mess. Just riding in the car made my walking reflex disappear, making each step a huge challenge. It's hard to explain how tiring it is to think about each footstep so you won't fall. I saw the neurologist who is supposed to be the pro from Dover after I got back and walked out of there super mad. There may have been some problems with my tone of voice after he told me he didn't believe the results of the (super painful) EMG and nerve conduction tests, and maybe I had fibromyalgia, not an autoimmune neuropathy. I said a few choice things about MDs who tell women who have lost their careers to painful illness they have fibromyalgia and test men with the same problems until they find what is wrong and treat it. He took it pretty well considering he is the chair of the department at a big old teaching hospital, and grudgingly ordered another test.
The results finally posted today, and I could not believe it. There is a 17% percent chance of someone with my symptoms having an abnormal test, and I did. Polyclonal hypergammaglobulimia, I think I love you. Now maybe someone will treat this motherfucking pain and muscle spasms.
