My Symptoms

Okay, let's list my host of symptoms, in my feeling of their importance. (I'm not a doctor nor do I play one on TV,)

  • balance
  • dizziness
  • brain fog 
  • short term memory loss
  • urinary incontinence
  • cough
  • numb fingers and toes
  • un-coordination (typing, for example)
  • hearing loss
  • eating constantly
  • no concentration
  • high blood pressure (treated)
  • high cholesterol (treated)
  • high blood sugar (treated)
  • depression (treated)
All of these have been reported to doctors. I really like my current (new) doctor, and he has referred me me for an MRI to check my head! That should happen in a week or two. I'll let you know what's the scoop on that, believe me.

Balance and dizziness worry me a great deal, as falling is a constant concern. I'm very careful, because I have fallen several times in the past few years. Yikes! I know that is a big potential problem.

Brain fog and short term memory loss also scare me. When will that stabilize? Will I lose my mind? Seriously. Everything else kind of pales!

So there I am. A work in progress. I will get better!
