kamataca Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I know how hard this must be, the wait and see game. I pray that you get some answers soon, and some direction in how you plan to battle the beast. Plesae remember to take care of YOURSELF during this process as well. Sob when you need to--don't hold it all inside. Don't try to do and be everything. Prayers for you guys. Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mary colleen Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I agree with Kelly - cry if it will come. It helps - it's almost as if the release lets you clear your thoughts and gear up for the next steps. I'll be thinking of you...keep us posted.

Don M Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Hang in there. It will get easier for you once they know how to treat it and a treatment plan can be implemented. Don M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyr Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Well Punky, I too had a nerve root block on monday & had a numb leg for most of the day. If it's any consolation it was about 9 months after diagnosis that I was finally able to let loose and have a good cry. Couldn't get the water works turned off for another 2 months, but it does clear your mind when you're able to have a good cry. Good Luck & God Bless wendyr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
