Electric Shock ..Thought It Had Been Outlawed

Yes nerve conduction testing involves electricity, needles and loads of fun for everyone! It began with a lovely woman named Deanna and I mean this because she was really nice otherwise I would have slapped her. She successfully provided electric shock to all of my extremities about 50 times. No I did not count them because I was too busy shaking. After she completed her testing, I then waited for 20 minutes. I think the shocking caused the burning to start for me again because I was nice and toasty by the time the second person came in. She did some manual testing with a tuning fork and went hmmm alot. Then she decided to do some deeper testing which luckily I had read about online or I would have decked her. Folks, as you know if you have read this blog, I have had acupuncture and this started off in a similar fashion. However, after she put in the needles she then proceeded to move them around which was not exactly relaxing. She dug in my neck so hard that it took 24 hours for my neck to even come close to normal again. She said that the test really found nothing but that the manual exam with the simple tuning forks shows that I have neuropathy. That means I have some messed up nerves - SHOCKING! Who knew?!?!? Anyway, I looked up more on it after I left and successfully depressed myself because I have either diabetes, some dread infection or my hormones are completed messed up. Nothing really good about the neuropathy thing! Anyway, I decided to take myself to lunch and had some great Japanese food and then went home and watched Surrogates which made me feel much better about myself. Later I rearranged Erynn's room and firmly decided that I will handle whatever it is because I am going to live long enough to see Erynn finish school, get married and have kids. If I believe it, it will happen!
