If you want to use this QR code (Quick Response code) just save the image and paste it where you want. You can even print it and use it that way. Coffee cups, T-Shirts etc would all be good for the QR code.

I agree with Craig, I know that cauda equina can effect the bladder and you said you had troubles urinating. I would check that out asap... Take care girl  !! Angie

Michelle. Another thought (wow that hurt)  It could be to do with every thing you have been through these last few weeks the body has strange ways of reacting to shock and stress. Kevin

Stress was sort of what I was thinking....that and the statins...and the BP meds. Maybe they are all ganging up on you at once? Go to the doctor. Don't wait.

Michelle,
How terrifying! No wonder you're scared, hon. *hugs*
I had something similar when I pinched the spinal nerves at my kinda broken C3-C4. PLEASE see a dr right away--even if it's Doogie Howser--because this is nothing to brush off!

Hi Wendy...yes, I'm on a lot of meds, I agree, I may have even forgotten to list a couple... MS...my sisters presented differently....Sandy was sitting at her desk and went completely blind suddenly, the rushed her to Houston and lesions showed up on the cat scan of her brain.... they put her on steroids and her vision came back after about a month, Pam had a long, long list of mild symptoms....Sandy had 10 bad years and then she went into remission and has stayed that way for the last 7 years or so....Pam's disease is progressing very slowly and doesn't interfere with her life too much but I have no idea what meds she's on, if any....she's the nurse that is working at Hermann Memorial in H-town....now the neck does give me trouble and I've had a lot of headaches lately...I figure that is stress though....thanks, you've brought up some very good points.....

Thanks Angie....yeah, that is interesting, I let my rheumy know that I'm having this trouble or rather, I left a message at the office, I also put in a call to my primary care physician and my second opinion doctor...if none of them can help me, I'll go see Dr. Doogey....
