I haven’t been on here in a while. That might be because I have had the opportunity to digest what has been happening. Over the last few months, the tingling has now stopped, and so has most of the twitching. The medication has started to work, and because of the reduction of symptoms we have been able to rule out the concerning diseases.

This experience has generated a hundred reminders of the things I should be grateful for and focus on.

I believed that my life was going to take a dark turn and that all the plans my husband and I had made were doomed. What a reminder that nothing is guaranteed. It was also an opportunity to realize who is a part of my wicked support system. This has made me realize who I turn to in crisis and who has my back in the good and the bad. I am grateful to those people who time and time again I learn that I can count on. Even if life throws the unexpected, those are the people with whom I will navigate with; and we will make it.

Those symptoms, I believe I made them worse with my stress, anxiety and the speculation on what my future held. Two new quotes have entered by collection as a result:

worrying is like paying a debt you don’t owe; &

worrying is like praying for something you don’t want to happen

Although I am not done with this treatment or the evaluation of the issues, I am confident that I have learned some valuable lessons and that there is much to be thankful for.
