Today she had to submit a progress report to my neurologist. It's been a month now, so he wants to know if therapy is doing anything for me. I had to fill out some questionnaires and she did a couple muscle tests on me. She said she wrote in her notes that I am seeing amazing progress but I'm not where she'd like me to be yet. She recommends more therapy.
My anti-seizure meds seem to really be working! Most days, my side goes numb once. About twice a week, it will go numb twice in the day. So this is huge progress! One year ago it was happening 4 and 5 times a day. The numbness seems to have turned to just straight tingling pain (which is weird) and concentrates mostly in my hand and foot. Usually on the days it happens more than once, the second time will be arm, shoulder, leg, face, side, all up and down, but with less pain and more numbness (like it used to be all the time). At my appointment next month, the doctor will decide if I need to up my dose. I'm praying I don't have to, because I do still get knocked over tired about once a week and don't want to increase that!
Praises:
-therapy is working
-medicine is working
Prayer requests:
-the doctor to approve more therapy
-the medicine to continue working at the dose I'm taking
