I saw a new neurosurgeon yesterday.
She actually looked at all my mri's and reports and all that good stuff. Did two hours worth of tests, tortured me really well, and diagnosed me with Dopamine Responsive Dystonia. It's kind of like Parkinson's, but it's not. It responds very well to drugs.
After coming home and researching it, It answers pretty much all the problems I've had for the last five or six years, leading up to when I broke my back.
She started me on some cinnabun dope (The generic is Levodopa, I can't remember what it's really called) and I can't barely find my ass with both hands. It'll take a few days to a week for it to mellow out, but it already seems to be helping. This morning I could feel hot and cold with my left fingers, and my hands uncurled and my arms feel like noodles.

Anyways...
The reason I mention it is that I have a bunch of pm's backed up and I pretty much can't type, think, or know which way is up.
I'll get all caught up with everyone in few days, hopefully.
I'm going to put the laptop away and look at the ceiling for as long as it takes.
Lisa is here taking care of me, and although I'm pretty screwed up, I feel a million times better than I have, and things are looking up.
If you guys would look out for me and let guys know I'm laid up when they mention I haven't gotten back to them, I'd really appreciate it.
If this new round of bullshit works out, I'll be able to get back to doing some things I enjoy doing, and be able to get back to being a general nuisance around here.
Thanks!!!
