I have not gotten a post off any sooner because this past week was harder on me physically than any other since I was diagnosed on December 18th. I took my last dose of steroid on Tuesday. This along with the continued increasing of the dosage of anti-seizure medication led me from not being able to sleep for more than three to four hours at a time at the beginning of the week to not being able to stay awake for more than five to six hours at once by the end of the week. The good news is that the doctor expected me to have this reaction and said that I should be back to a normal sleep pattern by the end of this week.
I have blood test the next two Tuesdays and a MRI on the second Tuesday. My follow-up with the doctor will be on the week of February 15th. I will update the blog no later than the day following my doctor's visit.
Please continue to use the prayer request from the last post since there has not been much change since then. Thanks again for your faithful prayers and support.
