Long time no post

Still alive and kicking. Well, not kicking. Alive and sitting. ;-)

I'm doing fairly well.

To remind you, I've had problems with aching, fatigue, joint pains, weakness, and such for years. But after I got the flu two years ago, these symptoms were magnified quite a bit. The first few months were terrible. But I've slowly improved.

With the other problems dropping back off to pre-flu levels, one thing that I've come to notice more and more is: shooting pains. These pains are short, sharp, sometimes pulsing... arms, legs, torso...

These shooting pains were not around prior to the flu.

So what are they?

I have no idea.

I have finally gone to a rhuematologist that wants to get an MRI of my neck. Apparently such problems could be caused by some sort of neck injury, or narrowing of the neck... something about the nerves in the spine...

::baffled::

I'm also getting tested for lyme. I don't remember any rash, but if I did get infected with lyme disease bacteria, it would have been 10 years ago. I'm not known for a supurb memory :-p

I shall be back to update you on the test results, I promise.
