He Stuck Needles into Muscle and Turned on the Juice

[neonlyte]

I met a very nice man, and his very attractive assistant, this morning and they calmly proceeded to electrocute me. The first range of tests were tolerable, I'd had those before. The focus of interest was the alner nerve passing from shoulders to fingers, the suggestion has been that mine had been damaged and surgery might be required.

So first set of tests involve measuring electrical resistance at various points on the arm electricity is applied to the alner nerve. Both arms were done.

Second set involved introducing a fine needle into muscle on the hand, wrist and forearm and applying high electrical pulses - single ones. I think the idea was to see how high I would jump.

At the end of this painful session, the consultant pronounced I had nothing wrong with my alner nerves in either arm and the problems I am experiencing are almost certainly due to physical nerve impairment caused by the untreated Lyme infection.

I then spent two hours asleep in an MRI scanner - yes it is quite possible to sleep with all that noise going on. They woke me up to stop me snoring when they reached the upper neck, apparently my snoring was interferring with the quality of the image.

Next bout, Friday.

MRI....I hope they gave you earplugs.

They gave me headphones... I asked for Malher

I had those test done on my legs and lower back. It made me change my mind about getting a tattoo on my back. I think they should give you valium or something before taking the damn test.

Well, you'll never have the joy of a prostate biopsy. That I think is about the worst that I'll be back talking about.

The ulnar nerve is the "funny bone" that makes you see stars when you hit your elbow. Mine was pinched and the last three fingers of my left hand were numb and tingling.

Peace, neon. Keeping you and your health in my thoughts

I'm merely amazed that you can write humourously about it.

*hugs* and Auntie kisses.

I feel for you...I had that damn test too! Only first they used a stungun on me...

Put a patch thingy on my hand then stun me with that damn stungun in the upper arm.

The doctor actually called me whiny cry baby, until I reached for the stungun to give him a jolt.

Then came the needles, bastards. Then they told me what I already knew, carpel tunnel syndrome. Assholes.

"He Stuck Needles into Muscle and Turned on the Juice . . . "

Kinky!

OK - Ouch!

Best wishes.

Just reading that made my arm hurt.

You might be amazed at what people can laugh about.

Hang in there, Neon.

But what we are all really wondering is...

did you LIGHT up like a NEONLYTE?

More like a STRIP Lyte

On a serious note: Former Great Britain Rugby League captain, Mike Gregory, died today. He was infected by Lyme Borelliosis in 2003 whilst in Australia. His developed into progressive muscular atrophy - his brain and muscles gradually lost communication. He spent the last 12 months in a wheelchair.

Since this is exactly what we are trying to establish viz my own Lyme Borelliosis, I guess, Mats, humour is an essential component of keeping ahead of the game.

Rest in Peace, Mike

Indeed, Neon.

Don't Go towards the Lyte, neon!

Damn, you beat me to the punch.

Gald you're still kickin' Neon.

Next time we'll tell them to use more juice. I hear that after a while you begin to like it.

I believe that's only if they apply 'em to the testicles.

(Keep your boys safe, Neon.)

 

[neonlyte]

Not a quitter - bloody minded if anything. None the less, it was a salutory piece of ill timed news

Sarah, no need to worry about 'the boys', they've gone on holiday
