The reason I ask is that that was the first thing I thought of when you talked about the tingling.<BR/><BR/>Mama Fox of the Little Foxes posted late last year that her husband had been diagnosed with it.<BR/><BR/>It probably is just some random medical weirdness but I hope it goes away quickly whatever it is.Knit Withttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07879529427879973724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-20289711600264796202009-02-01T11:34:00.000-08:002009-02-01T11:34:00.000-08:00I have similiar symptoms all the time Lisa.

They did similiar tests on me, (MRI, CT Scan, Spinal Tap)and finally decided that yes, I'd had a stroke, but the tingling is caused by migraines. I still have them off and on all the time. <BR/><BR/>I'll be sending good thoughts your way. <BR/>MaidenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-34497502476147717872009-01-31T20:46:00.000-08:002009-01-31T20:46:00.000-08:00Glad you were wise to be checked and that nothing ...Glad you were wise to be checked and that nothing appears to be seriously wrong.

Hence, its decafe for me now, thanks.<BR/><BR/>It almost sounds to me like you are having a reaction to the chemicals you are exposed to at work. Taking it easy if you can every day is good (like when they start adding another 5 hours to the day, right?) and just staying healthy in general is good. Remember you got that Hepititus in your system for about 1 more year, and then it will be GONE. <BR/><BR/>Later, your body can go back to what ever passes for normal- creeping up on birdies, washing oil off birdies, photographing birdies, etc. See a pattern here? Have Robb make you a cup of tea (decaf ONLY) and just rest up. Skip the biking and hiking for a bit and discover the wonderful world of couch-potato Oprah lovers.<BR/><BR/>AnnalisaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-49248798523894966052009-01-31T10:35:00.000-08:002009-01-31T10:35:00.000-08:00whew.

I almost blew it off, but when I called the nurse advice line they told me to "get thee to the ER - NOW!!" Apparently that is one of the signs of preeclampsia. Which they ruled out. Then they thought it was a TIA (transient iscemic attack, which is really fancy for a sort of mini-stroke). <BR/><BR/>Three days in the hospital, an MRI, and several ultrasounds (of my heart, my carotid artery and, what the heck, the baby [found out it was a boy, which, to this day, my husband doesn't know I knew]) later, they ruled that out. <BR/><BR/>Eventually they decided it was a weird migraine. They put me on blood thinners for a few weeks just to be sure. I had to self-inject each day. Yuck.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, so glad you're okay!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-55204922712852126452009-01-30T19:47:00.000-08:002009-01-30T19:47:00.000-08:00Lisa,Weirdish to say the least!
