What a day. Simply started yesterday morn with a bit of tingling in my left ring finger. The day progressed and so did the tingling. Today the entire left arm is full of fire ants and random electric jolts. It hurts to close my hand or bend my elbow. Days such these just wipe me out physically. Everything just tenses right up. But, it will be gone in a day or two heading off to another appendage to interrupt. Right? Please?

The tatt process on Friday nullified the neuropathy for a spell, but it couldn't stay away for long. So, yeah, today it's been visiting the left heel in the form of a red hot railroad spike, with a mosh pit of fire ants doing a crazy jig. So, thankfully had NASCAR to entertain me whilst I lounged on the couch with my feet in the air.

Went back to the neuro on Wednesday, February 10th. Had been on 300mg of the Neurontin 3x per day, then that got bumped up to 400mg 4x per day. Tingling spells and electric jolts continued. Neuro wanted to do another visit. Did a blood draw to look for any vitamin deficiencies, and scheduled an MRI of the upper and mid spine. MRI on Friday showed nothing more. Blood work from Wednesday showed a Vitamin D3 deficiency. Supposed to be 30-80 units, and mine was at 11. The neuro thinks that might be the cause for the neuropathy, so now on a weekly regimen of one 50,000 unit of Vitamin D per week for ten weeks, and then see where we go from there. And continue the neurontin, just in case. Ungh. :-\ How much longer Lord?
