Prayer request--I had a mild seizure yesterday

[Lady Amy of York]

       Around  5 am yesterday morning, i started shaking all over in  my sleep.    I was  shaking  so hard  it woke  my husband  Tim up.  he  woke  me up,  and i continued  to shake.   My  head  felt like it was  going to split in two.     My left side of my face  and  left  arm  was  numb.  So  Tim called   for  the  ambulance  and  they rushed me  to the  emergency  room.       While  the  nurses  were trying to take  my vitals, i continued to shake.  My pulse  was over 100.
The  one  nurse   said  "  she is  seizing,"  and  went  running  for  a  doctor.    They hooked me up to an iv  ans  started pumping meds thru me  to stop  the  seizure.  and  then they hurried  me  down  to Cat- scan  for  a Cat-scan.  then  i was brought back to  my room, where  they pump  me  full of  pain meds. they also did a EKG  on  me,  and  drew  blood.
            i was there for several hours while  they  monitored  me    and  kept me  there until  my vitals  went back down to nromal range.
                  The  doctor  came  in  and  said  the  cat -scan  showed no brain abonormalities, but  yet i  displayed very  sign of a mild   seizure.     They sent me  home  with   Vicoden  and  one other pain med  to take  for  the pain.  they also sent me home  with Valium  to take    for  the  seizures,  and  then one other med    to keep me  from  vomiting  cause i guess  the  pain meds  and  the valium  can  do   a  job  on  my stomach.   I  am  suppose  to follow  up   with  my family  doctor  and  possibly  a neurologist.      The only neurologist here in the  area  is  the one  that  i use  to go to,  who    detected  the   cyst on my spine  that i had removed   earlier  this  year, over a year ago, but neglected  to tell me.  So i will probably end  up  going  out of  the  area    somewhere.
        So   i need  this like  a hole  in the  head   right  now  , especially  at  this  time  of  year.
              Hope  you can read  this.  i am typing  one  handed. not bad  for  one hand.  i have  liitle use of  my  right hand, and  the one  side of my face  keps  going numb.  ugh !     Very frustrating, cause i thought after i had  the  cyst  removed  earlier  this  year,  that evreything  was  behind  me. I was doing  so well ! so  now it is  back  to searching  for  an  answer  again  !
          Well atleast i have  you guys on here   and  my family  to lift  my  spirits  !

OH Amy! I know that the time of the year might make things more difficult but just try and get to someone reliable and be sure to take care of you. Sure wish God had a little less faith in us and stop giving us things he thinks we can handle. Hang in there!

You are so in my prayers Amy.

Amy dear you know you have lots more prayers and healing thoughts headed your way.  I hope they figure it out soon!  Huge hugs and get better fast!

[Lady Amy of York]

Thanks  evryone  for  the  hugs  and  prayers. i  appreciate  it.     Thankyou  so  much  !
  I have  to admit  i was   abit embarrass  at first  and  reluctant  to ak  for prayers  seeing how um..how many prayer requests  have  i had in  the  past  year, but  i  am a strong beliver in  prayer  and  faith.  it  got  me  thru  this  far  !
        I just  can't belive  this is happening gain.  I am  more  fustrated then  anything.  I  was  doing  so well after i had  the   cyst  remove  on  my spine   earlier  this year.   I was  able  to walk again without pain,  the numbness seemed  to be  gone.    I attended faire  every weekend  this  summer.  I went on a long  vacation  in october  with  my family.  Everything was  going good.  Then  this  just hit  me  out of  the  blue.
     So  the  cyst may have  ben causing  part of  the  problems,  but apparently  there is  some  other underlying  factor  going  on  with  me  too.
  Now  to just  figure  out  what.
           It is also fustrating, cause this  sems  to have  been  going on forever.  This  first all started 4 and  half  years  almost  five  years  ago.   I was  still living in California  and  my  son was  only  3  months  old.   I remember  waking up one  morning and  i literally  could  not see  at  all.  Luckily  i regained my vision  back,   although i still get  some  blurinness at  times. But it was after that  , that i started  with  the  numbness in  my hands, feet  and  face.  There were  times  when  i could not even  walk or  talk.  I   saw  several  differnt  doctors in California.  they all   threw out different diagnoses at  me, and  seemed  to be  very willing  to  put me  on any  pain  meds  they  could  find.     My  condition  just  got  worse.
          Then  i  moved  back here  to New York.  for  the  first 6 months  my  symptoms  were  gone.  I thought maybe  it  was  something  in  california  i had came  in  contact  with, but  then  they started all up  again. Some of  you may  recall three christmas's  ago  when my son who was  two at  the  time,  found me  past out cold  in the living room.
   and  from there  i started seing a neurologist here,  went for cat-scans, mri's, nerve  conduct tests,   had  spinal taps  done, .
    Then they  thought I  had  MS  and  sent   me  to a specialist.  It was there that i was  told  i had  the  cyst on my spine.  and  then this past  spring  i had it removed  and  evrything seemd  to be  going good.
             So now it is  starting  all over  again.     There has  to be  some  reason  why i had a seizure and  why my  hands  still have tremors  in them, and  why my face  keeps  going  numb.       
    So i am  hanging in there !  Just  angry  and  fustrated  more  then  anything.      Thanks  gain  for  the hugs  and  well wishes.  They  are really appreciated !

 
       

[Lady Amy of York]

thanks  everyone  for well wishes.
  LOL, Lord W..you better not  be  putting in a new  bar on  my  ship !
  Yes, Lady Glorianna, i do agree  it feels  like  God  tests  us  to the  brink  sometimes  !  But i am still keeping  the faith.
         Hugs  and love  to all of  you !

[lordwriothsley]

LOL! Don't worry Amy,the bar on our ship is still in tact.I'm glad I was able to make you laugh and smile.It makes me feel good when I can bring a smile to the face of someone in need.Continue to hang in there and take care of yourself,I am confident that the doctors will find out what is causing all this to happen.

[Tygrkat]

Lady Amy, my thoughts of strength and healing and are with you.

{{hugs}}

Please keep us posted, and by all means keep your sense of humor about you...

...we do have fire dancers to wrangle, and mead to sip while we watch...important business for sure   

[Rani Zemirah]

Ah... My Lady Amy, forgive my silence here. I now have a new keyboard, which does not drip water from various places, and may type as I see fit!

I hope you are holding tight to your faith in the Universe to offer it's healing energy to those of us in need of it, as well as your stubborn resolve to fight the thing which ails you at this moment! My heart reaches out to you in your hour of need, and I offer you all the love and support you have showered on me in my need, back to you, with my own sent along as well! Keep your faith and your family/fairmily close, and resist despair. If your strength fails you, borrow ours, and if your fears attack, I leave you my dagger to fight it back! Fear is a cowardly thing, and cannot withstand the light of love... or a sharp and pointy Turkish dagger!

Care for yourself, and allow others to care for you as well, and insist on the thorough diagnosis and treatment you are entitled to receive!

Never give up, never give in!!!

Oh... and when you feel up to it again, your place by the Fire is assured in perpetuity!

[Lady Amy of York]

Thanks  Rani.  I am deffinitely keeping the faith up  and  holding  my spirits  up.  I have  learned   that i can't  let  it  get  the  best of  me.   I have  to fight  and  think  positive.    Plus  i have  alot  to  live  for .
         Right now it is  snowing  hard out.  Looks  so pretty   out.  it helps  lift my  spirits, but if  it  snows  too  much  i  may  need  that  seat  by  the  fire    you  were talking about  to warm  up  !
