New Diagnoses

It has been a crazy past few weeks.  I've had surgery for another problem, while other problems have increased.  The past several times I've had to ride in a car, I get really shaky and lose coordination (my ability to walk in a coordinating manner).  My muscles feel like jittery jello, and it feels like thousands of tiny nerves are pulsating in my arms and legs.  I also get pain in my chest and nausea.  I was put in the hospital, and several days of nausea and vomiting followed.  This was eventually brought under control and I was taken for a tilt-table test.  The result was highly positive.  My heart beat dropped to 27 and I nearly passed out completely.  I was finally stabilized and discharged from the hospital on Saturday afternoon (the day before Easter), but on the car ride home, all of the symptoms started all over again.

I feel very frail, and the slighten excitement (whether happy/funny or sad/angry/crying) sets things off again.  I got back to the doctor in about an hour.  I guess we will see what he says.....
