TW medical test

today had the EMG test on our legs was odd feeling test with them putting needle in and sending like  a shock wave through them  then that reported things on computer 

was  over a hour long on our back that always hard on us 

she said that we had mild nervrapthy and a pinch nerve in back  but not sure what be in the report to doctor but we also know that they DXed us years ago with Fibromyalgia and no test for that used so the long listed on health issues is getting to us also the 24/7 high pain but glad it not worst as we feared due to having issues with falling and pain in legs  not sure what  they do next either

the kidney  test coming up on may 21st to see what going on as right kidney  only working at 20%  this kinda scary for us

worst  part is have no one to go with to the tests and other stuff medically so alone in this seems to us

I personally do believe there's some power with knowledge even when there's bad news. I hope you get good information from this both for determining best treatment options as well as just planning and living day to day life.

I know the testing is exhausting, some really unpleasant and it's emotionally draining - I've had more than my fair share too! I'm sorry you don't have someone with you. My husband has sometimes been unavailable even for some bigger ones but he's always been emotionally available at some point during the day to at least talk. I hope here fills some of that for you and that you have other sources as well!

thank you agree knowing even when bad news is better then not know just been so much going on with medical and family   getting new home aid who related to our old home aid  dad and mom medical stuff to yes we not live near them but we try to keep updated on how they  both be due to their ages dad already 84 and mom will be on june 19th  many of the family not happy we moved away they not know real reasons but yes we could use support from the younger ones in family who was not even aware of what really went on in our childhood  and before we moved some say we  should post on FB stuff about that but well we not doing that at all and for most that only connected we have even after  posting asking for connected infotmation

yes 7cups has helped but at times not when we go into a chatroom at times other leave or go quiet then it feel like unsupported so that can be hard will say the mods been great with  listening in SC

also in the wellness huddle members there have been too and on the forums too we know at times we talk about things not easy to hear some even triggering but well when we need support or relating to another to let them know they not alone in what happened to them or what is happening to them
