Tomorrow I'm yet again visiting Charring Cross Hospital for more tests. This time it is an NCS/EMG. NCS is a Nerve Conduction Study, where tiny stimuli are applied to nerves in the upper and / or lower limbs and muscle responses are measured. EMG study is where a needle electrode records muscle fibre activity. I'm worried that because I've been taking 500mg Naproxen constantly for the last 2 weeks that the tests will be inconclusive. I meant to stop taking it on Sunday but this throat infection has been so awfully painful, that the Naproxen and Codrydamol together have only just taken the edge off the pain.
It's a strange feeling because whilst I don't want them to find anything wrong, I also do! I need to know that this isn't me just going mad. If it is then what treatment is there for that?! When Bear came home this evening he surprised me, he was actually glad that I was writing the blog. His words were, "Well, I'm glad I've got something to read and understand you when you won't talk to me". I thought he would be disappointed that I was sharing too much of our lives, but in reality I think he's happy if it keeps my mind off what the future could potentially hold.
My appointment is at 10:30am tomorrow and Bear has got a tablet from work to use whilst we are in the hospital. We is in awe of it, and to be fair it's a pretty awesome one. The first thing he shows me that it can do...? Paint....! Me thinks that he should be cracking on with the marking up of some documents...... :)
I won't post again until I've been to the hospital and had all kinds of electrodes attached to me. I suppose some people pay for the pleasure ;)
