Off to Cleveland this week

[Guest guest]

The lab rat is on vacation so I'm filling in lol. Hoping the weather

doesn't get too bad between here and there. I have back to back

appointments on Wed and Thur including many tests and doctor appts.

Not really looking forward to the lengthy emg. I can't imagine a test

taking 3 hours. Then there is the fun spinal tap. Does anyone know if

this is done to find mito related problems or if it is only to rule

out other diseases? I'm still feeling quite miserable as far as

nausea and vomiting. I hope it doesn't keep up or I don't know how

I'll even go. I guess the gi doc couldn't be better timing. I'm

seeing a neuro-opthalmologist at the request of Dr. Tsao although I'm

not really sure why. Is this part of a mito workup too? Hope everyone

had a nice holiday.

I have had an EMG that took that long. If they are doing single fiber

sampling, then it takes much longer. Part of that time might be history

taking.

Eye problems can go with mito, but also things like MS, so it is probably a

good idea you are having it done.

In the spinal tap, they will probably be looking at your lactic acid level

among other things.

Good luck. At least we didn't get as much snow as we might have, so

hopefully it won't be an issue for your appointment. I will be thinking

of you.
