But I've noticed a couple of new symptoms over the past couple of days. I get this kind-of fluttery feeling on the surface of my chest when I'm outside working or walking our dog. It's just on the surface of the skin not inside as though it were something involving the heart. Of course, it's also only been the last few days that the weather was such that I could do much outside. Anyway, now I don't know if this is related to the new medication I'm taking, the combination of the new med with what I've been taking right along, or something else altogether. It's a conundrum! Perhaps the neurologist will be able to help you figure out the reason for your time loss... hope so!
Thanks. I hope so its really disconcerting. I can't get in to see the neurologist for two weeks. My pdoc said he will probably do a mri and a PET scan and an EEG. Now I just have to figure out how Im going to pay for all that. My wonderful Obamacare approved health insurance has a $6000 deductible before they pay anything. SO much for affordable care.
