Physical Therapy

So since I've been diagnosed with SPS I've been in and out of physical therapy. First I was at a hospital's outpatient center. When I started it was crazy! I was pushed to to the limits. The pt and ot there at first made me cry because they wanted me to do better. So I did... I tried and tried my best, but my legs where just not responding not knowing I had what I did. Any ways I was there for a year or more which the end result ended with me walking, but it wasn't walking walking I looked like I was drunk sometimes. Whatever they got me walking right!

Finally after being diagnosed my neuro wanted me to go back, so I did to the same place but only for a while. Six months at the most I went before my doctor told me to take a break. I was fine not going because it was painful, although I had fun! The pt Chris would just make things fun while my ot would come up with the funniest thing sometimes.

Now after this last episode I've been place at a different physical therapy center. The physical therapist there is understand a bit more I'm guessing more because now they know what it is that I have and she actually looked in to it. Not just jumped in to figure our why it was that I wasn't walking. I enjoy it and hope I keep progressing because since I've been here in January I've started walking semi normal which is a big deal for me at least lol. Oh not to mention they helped me get a cool wheelchair where I can actually push myself not like the old lump of 50 pounds. lol.

Allergist came in third... Lung where OK she wanted to start me a new medication called Zolar for my allergies and to improve my lung function. Exam when OK just with my heart rate going crazy again! She took a note of it and sent it to my PCP. Then Last came my neuro... Spasms were OK kinda... medication was starting to work better so she gave me the all clear!

Let’s try this one more time!

Let’s try this again... I’m going to try to do a post each week or month at least. That’s my goal!!! Not going to lie a bit long... Last month I went to the neurologist, and got news that I could be having either be having a flare up or having a relapse. For the past couple of months I had been feeling off with more spasms and pain the usual. I can usually take pain pretty good by now, but there were days I just couldn’t move felt frozen in my own body. So after New Year I had IVIG scheduled for Thursday, Friday, Monday, and Tuesday. Well during the weekend I had a party to attend out of town. Honestly I don’t think I did much during the party but it did run late. Both days I felt fine no problem with IVIG side effects nothing, but then came Monday first of all I had to wake up early to go get blood drawn. When I went in I asked for I don’t know how to explain it. You know when they tell you that you know your body the best I just had this feeling to ask them to run my GAD levels ...
