Sometime early May I had a pretty bad seizure in the bathroom and spent 2 weeks in the emergency room in a post tictal state. Apparently I pinched a nerve in my neck which still hasn't gotten better. I then spent 2 weeks in therapy till I regained passable movement. But I still have limited usage in my hands. And I am constantly dropping things. I have a few doctor appointments and a nurse tomorrow. When I first pinched the nerve I couldn't feel my fingers or toes. And part of my face was numb. Not happy about my hands but I am making progress
 
That doesn't sound like fun. I hope things get better soon.
 
I got the physical therapy nurse coming by tomorrow it will Improve
 
Pinched nerves are no fun. I've had to deal with a few. They take time to return to normal with physical therapy. It can be hard to be patient sometimes. Hope you heal faster than I did!
 
And the plot thickness. Remember that blood clotting disorder I have where I come on here every few years or so with some tragic story about how I am about to die of something new. Yup I may have a blood clot pressing on a nerve in my neck. They are thinking since it both hands and getting worse.
 
prayers are with you COurt. Curious, do they give you blood thinner? Because of TIA I had, they keep me on blood thinner.
 
They don't want to try blood thinners because of the extended release epilepsy meds
 
😮 Yikes! Keep us updated on all of this, you're definitely in my thoughts and prayers.
 
Oh no 😯
