While I was posting yesterday I had a spell at the base of my skull. Large vibration. Called the internist's office and was told to go to ER. Located Ellen who got me there around 11:30 am. The place was a zoo. Drama abounded.
When I finally made it to the fast track rooms and was told I was fine, four hours had elapsed. Others had been there much longer.

Ellen spent the night and worked from my home on a deadline project. I had another left arm spell at 6 pm and again when I was ready for bed.

Today we went for a nerve test in my neck and arms by the polio rehabilitation specialist. After these were done he said my polio damaged muscles were worse but whatever was causing my spells "WAS NOT A PINCHED NERVE".
So bite the bullet when you have 2 seconds of scary vibration or numbness or whatever you are calling it that we don't have a code for.

So until I can describe it in medical jargon I'm clamming up. Ellen's internist has email. I'm thinking of switching to him next year. He has a more central location and his hospital E.R. does not humiliate themselves by saying they have "fast track ER.".

I'm surprised someone somewhere along the line hasn't put you under observation to catch it when it happens, to better define what is actually happening. Of course you're "fine" when it's not happening. And pinched nerves can be intermittent. Just because it wasn't pinched during the test doesn't mean ....

Agh! I'm getting frustrated. I can barely imagine how you feel. Don't clam up. Yell. Kick. Be a pain in the tail.

Lucky for you I'm no longer posting about spells. But if I do something rowdy and confronting I'll give details.
