You may have seen earlier entries about the doctor I saw at the Cleveland Clinic I lovingly refer to as Dr. FeelGood.

I spent some time really looking over his report today in preparation for the follow up appointment I have with my neuro tomorrow.

What I found was quite sobering. While I admit I was a bit miffed that he said I didn't have a stroke as a diagnosis, he mentioned some things (unlikely but theoretically possible) I am pretty concerned about.

Among the " 'exotic' diagnostic considerations" he mentioned were demyelinating disorders (Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, Friedreich's ataxia, and Motor neuron disease) and cerebral vasculitis (a disease that causes the small arteries in the brain to constrict among other things).

He did say that my history was "most suggestive of atypical migraines". Lord knows, I wouldn't want to have just the typical migraines. I gotta be different!!!!!!!

He also said I need to exercise.

Point for Dr. FeelGood

He said I needed cholesterol lowering medication. OK so the Triglycerides were above 200. The total cholesterol was 183, thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would tell you more about the report Dr. FeelGood put together, but one of my cats is SLEEPING on it and won't budge.

I guess that is her way of saying, "Enough for today."
