i got my MRI results today. normal. perfectly and completely normal. i almost cried. i'm just so tired of being sick and i had this little scene all planned where the doctor would say it was guillain barre.... guillain barre is a nice little neurological disorder that people get after they've had a massive infection and their immune system gets confused and starts attacking the myelin sheaths around their nerve cells. it generally lasts for a few weeks until the myelin is replaced and then it goes away and usually never comes back. and there's a treatment to speed it on its way. at least its not MS or a tumor or something fatal. i just want to know what this is so i can know what to expect. is it gonna go away on its own? will it go away and come back? what the fuck is wrong with me? i grow weary of playing Mystery Diagnosis, the home game. it's really not as much fun as it sounds. my overall health trend is towards better-ness, at least, but now i've started having weird seizure-like convulsions. i have them everyday and they make me hesitant to go places even though i'm physically able now. i just don't want to do that in public.. at that thrashing and i make these strange grunty noises. its embarrassing. so i have to go in for an EEG now to see if i'm having seizures or what my doctor calls a "movement disorder"... will it never end?
but, in happier news... one of the feeder rats my roommate got for his snake was pregnant and he let me keep it. it had 9 little rat babies. omg they are so cute! i love rats. i call the mommy rat penny. she's sweet and non-bitey. not tame yet, but we're making gradual progress. i found a recipe to mix my own rat food using cereal, dry fruit, soy nuts, and dog food. its gonna be a hoot! yeah, i do have a lot of time on my hands...
