Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Hi Rose- to get to my moms u take a ferry for 35 minutes or u can drive around the backside for a bridge but that take over 2 hours- My mom has a real big house so anyone visiting Seattle would be most welcome to come stay or visit- Matt --- Rose mamadogrose@...> wrote: --------------------------------- That's great, Matt. Boy, I hope that's the end of the kidney stone problems for awhile. Now just the cataract surgery, then vacation time! Do you have to ride the ferry to get to your mom's, or is there a bridge? I've only been to Seattle once, five years ago. I went to Port Angeles with a friend who grew up there. What a wonderful place! Mountains & water just minutes apart. Here is a photo of me at Port Angeles. I would love to live there.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Matt, they seem to include it in the differential diagnosis pretty often. Once House told them to start treatment with cyclosporine (isn't that Cytoxan?) while running other tests. No steroids. Maybe some episode the patient will actually have NS! Pity the poor thing. The patients always get a lot worse, to the brink of death or worse, before House comes up with the right diagnosis. Ramblin' Rose Moderator Reply-To: Neurosarcoidosis To: Neurosarcoidosis Subject: Matt in SeattleDate: Wed, 12 Apr 2006 05:10:00 -0000hi- just watched House on tv and they again talked about Sarc- its nice that they bring it up often as hopefully others will become more familiar with it. ~~~~ *** ~~~ *** ~~~ *** ~~~~The Neurosarcoidosis CommunityNS CHAT:- Has been cancelled for now.Message Archives:-http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Neurosarcoidosis/messagesMembers Database:-Listings of locations, phone numbers, and instant messengers.http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Neurosarcoidosis/database Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Hi Rose- thats how my eye feels- like someone stabing me i the eye- It tends to came eeryday sometimes for a short time sometimes as long as an hour- it drives me crazy when it is hurting then all of a sudden the pain goes away i also wondered if i had a tumor but they said i didnt- they just dont know what is causing it MATT --- Rose mamadogrose@...> wrote: --------------------------------- Matt, I've had pain in my left eye since a bout of trigeminal neuralgia (5th cranial nerve) several years ago. It's a chronic ache that every few days worsens to feeling like someone stabbing the back of my eye. The first few months I had it, I went to 2 different opthamologists because I was just sure I had a tumor behind my eye. They both assured me, after thorough exams, that I " didn't have a tumor " (everyone who saw Arnold S. in Kindergarten Cop will know how to pronounce that). They said it was residual nerve damage. I don't know if this is any-thing like your situation.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Kim, I know what you mean about er visits. If a body part isn't hanging by a thread and spitting blood across the room it is hard to get them to take you seriously. It takes an act of congress to make me go to the er because of the treatment received there. Maybe one day it will get better, and they will learn to see the less obvious. always, connieKim Pellett wrote: Hi Matt, I just went into ER too... I feel your pain! ER doctors are notorious for dismissing symptoms too. My ER visit didn't go well and I am glad to say I am home. I think I have hit my rock bottom. If that's the case though, I can only go up from here. Try to stay positive... I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
