Weekly check up

So was made it to my physical therapy this morning knowing that right afterwards I had my check up with nurse practitioner, but when I got there they decided it would be best to see her before that way she could see how the new medication was affecting me if it was. Either way we went she decided to start me back on tizanadine every 2 hours, occupational therapy, aquatic therapy, and message therapy. HA there is only so much that can be done in three day I guess we are going to have to find a way to stay either longer or figure out a way to make it all the things I've got to do.

Now I've got to see her every week for a check up until my doctor appointment with my neuro. YAY! Well not really if you didn't catch my sarcasm... I've got this crazy idea that maybe I need a break. I need to spend a lot of time on my homework and studies, and staying in San Antonio doing all these things keeps me away from all of it. I constantly have to explain to my teachers why my assignments are late or why I can't take a certain test and a certain time. I mean I shouldn't be new to me I've done it for years but this time till things settle I think it's best if I take things slow.

Honestly I really don't know what it is I should do. I am excited though to go back to occupational therapy with my otIt should be fun lol. If anyone knows me better it's her well and my pt.

SOOOOO next week starts with:

Monday - Pt with the pt tech. at 3:00pm

Tuesday - Ot with the ot lol at 7:30am (really do they no understand I'm not a morning person)

Pt with the pt tech again at 9:00am

Treatment at the hospital

Wednesday - Weekly check up with the nurse practitioner

Pt again with the pt tech at 9:00 am (again with the morning thing)

YAY for weekly schedules... by the way when I'm done with that I've got six assignments due! And two test waiting for me! Oh geez I should have realized this was going to happen.

    Vanessa,

    I was diagnosed with SPS last year (I just turn 31) and I came across your blog. I wonder how you are doing now? You no longer write on your blog and I can tell you my experience with SPS if you are still looking for answers (well, you might know more than me but I'm very determined to figure out the best course of action and I know my case is probably very different than yours).

      Yeah I've kinda been distracted with stuff that has come up. I have new Doctors, New Disorders, and just in gerneral New Problems. I mean I still have Stiff Person Syndrome I've just had other things going on as well which had put me on hold from writing, but don't worry I'm back in fact I've starting writing a book don't get to excited I mean I'm a 24 year old and it's mostly what you've read and with the help of a friend I've been able to get down two chapters. Not much but it's something. And it's also something else if it even gets finished or published.

What's going on with life now!

So you might think I have it all going for me now... yeah that's not the deal see I haven't been able to go back to physical therapy or occupational therapy nor have I been able to go back to the gym. I'm on more medication then I have ever been. My cardio has given me release to go back and do all those things, but I've got obstacles after obstacles to go through. First they cardio doc wanted all my doctor's to give me the OK to go back. So second my neuro doc gave me the OK to go back to pt and ot, because I was stiffer then I was before. She continued my IVIG but keeps pushing chemo, although I don't want it I rather stay on IVIG a lot less side effects not to mention I think I'm doing pretty darn good on it. Then came my PCP she was like right away all chilled back yup go back to pt, and I was till I had an episode... My new episodes which we all like to call Vanessa falling in to a COMA! Yeah that's right I fall into such a deep sleep it's c...

Oh Gosh it December Already and All This has Happened!

Who would have known that year would go back so fast it started off rocky to say the least and now look at where I am... As January came it was sure that I wouldn't see Physical and Occupational Therapy for a while. My heart just wasn't taking it, so it seemed that was off the table till there was a solution. Although we all knew what that was we didn't want to think about it, surgery. Once the time came the doctors told my mom she'll be out in one hour that hour came and went, and I was still in surgery my cardio doctor was not taking no for an answer. My parents were updated on my status so they weren't to alarmed, but when he came out and said I was out and in recovery he explained to them that no matter their efforts my heart rate was never going to be normal at that alone was a problem. I was going to have to be a heart medication to help stabilize my heart rate, but it was almost never going to go lower then 80 beast per min. You might think that's norma...
