    Off to the neurologist!

    My appointment is tomorrow at 10:45 am, I have copies of my CT scan (geez, about 20 separate films!), I am prepared!

    My friends at work are more freaked out than I am, it's kind of funny. They look at me all hang-dog "How are you feeling today? You doing OK?" I'm bouncing around, all thrilled about actually getting a real diagnosis and treatment after all this time.

    I've told them to lighten up, they're depressing me....

    It would be SO exciting to finally find out what's wrong. 'Bout time.

    If you want to have some fun with your co-workers, you could wait until one of them bumps your chair or something. You could then yelp, put your hand to your neck, and start twitching or something. Though I supposes they're being sincere and to tease them would be Wrong.

    Good luck and I'll look forward to reading what neurologist says

    Happy neuro visit!!

    It'll be fabulous, you'll talk about big needles, surgery...all sorts of fun things.

    It is great that they're dealing with the real issue now. Keep us posted.

    Walk around with a hard candy in your mouth, when someone bumps bite down hard and make a big crunch, then fall on the floor and don't move a muscle. *That* would be something to see.

    Yeah, I worked with a guy (another attorney) who could make his whole neck make the most jaw dropping "knuckle popping" sounds. He'd be taking a deposition of some poor plaintiff in a rear-ender lawsuit and in the middle of his questioning about how the person has residual neck pain, he'd just pull his head to the side and make this multi-syllabic (for want of a better term, but you get the idea - drawn out) popping and crunching noise from his neck.

    Anyway, back to topic: good luck with the neurotic - I mean neurologist. Let us know how it goes. And stop by the candy store on the way home !

    Snap's got her own special butterflies so the neurologist team doesn't miss anything and treats her super special....and guides Snap to the best cracking candy to take to back to work.
    Whose great idea was that, anyway?

    Thumbs up

    Hi Snap

    So hope the neurologist was able to give you some proper answers and that the problem can be solved relatively easy.

    You want to wind up your co-workers by wearing a bolt through your neck like Frankinsteins monster when you go back to work, that would make them feel guilty!

    Be thinking of you.

    how'd it go?

    So Snap, any news??? Inquiring and caring minds need to know.

    Hope the Doc was able to come up with an answer. If it's in your neck, does that mean this whole problem is not in your head?
