Songbird sent me a note. So sweet! I'm alive and kicking, but my laptop isn't. It finally bit the dust for good, and I'm waiting on a new one. Really cramps my writing style!

I did go to the doc yesterday. I found out I have Carpal Tunnel (which I suspected, of course!) and the only other thing he can figure out is that it might be what's called a 'familial tremor.' He wanted to put me on a beta blocker, but I've tried those before for the irregular heartbeat, and I hate them. So...we are waiting another four weeks. If it's not better, he wants to do an MRI to rule out MS. But I have no symptoms of MS, so he's not really considering that. He said if I had a glass of wine, and the tremor went away, I'd know it was familial. I asked him if his prescription was for me to start drinking???? ROFLOL! He got VERY embarrassed. lol! He had just seen my pastor husband earlier in the day for his annual checkup, so he really didn't want me to go home and tell my DH that I needed a drink. LOL!

Thanks for being concerned about me!

BTW - did anyone have wardrobe tips for me when I speak at the conference? Shall I wear pink? Black? One thing I've ruled out - horizontal stripes. [Wink]

Donna: glad to know you're ok. I can imagine your hubby's reaction to your Doc's Rx. [Roll Eyes]

Well... I'm no fashion consultant, but I like black skirts or dark colored skirts. Of course, you might've figured out why [Wink] , it helps my chubby self look slimmer [Big Grin] .

I agree with song, but I like to add a jacket or sweater in a pretty color to the top. Dark colors receed while bright colors attract and a matching dark color on both top and bottom enlongates the body. The looser fit of a jacket distracts from body size and the bright color adds interest.

Wow, fashion consulting too. I like black mixed with something bright. The most important thing you need to wear is a smile! That is what makes all of us most attractive.

Hey Donna: It's really neat to catch you here as well as the CEA site.

I'm amazed at some of our similar neurological symptoms. In fact, I just experienced some tremors in my left arm and spent 4th of July in the ER. Since I had a stroke, anything like this sets off alarms. No real diagnosis or prognosis. Because of some other problems, the doctors have thought I had MS ... but there is no one definitive symptom -- just a culmination of many. Still no MS diagnosis and I'm so thankful for that. Then again, no diagnosis for other problems. I figure God is giving me an opportunity to develop patience. I will pray that future tests might provide a solid diagnosis and prognosis. And, hope you can replace your laptop soon.

To all of you: I would also like to invite folks to visit my blog, Write from the Heart at http://tenderheartaz.blogspot.com. I've started posting regularly there (3 times a week). It's content is Christ-centered and I find the more I'm in God's will, the more He gives me to write about.

Blessings, Francine

Francine, I don't recall what MS stands for. Will you please enlighten me a bit?

I hope you feel better and and will visit blog later as time permits. I love Christ-centered blogs.

Hi, Francine! I'm glad to see you!

MS is for Multiple Sclerosis - a chronic progressive nervous disorder involving loss of myelin sheath around certain nerve fibers.

I'm praying for NO MS for either myself or Francine!

As to the wardrobe tips - thanks so much! I'm thinking of finding something comfortable, but dressy, but not too dressy....well, you see my dilemma. I like the idea of wearing black with something more colorful around my face. And I just HAVE to find cute shoes. [Smile]

Songbird ... Donna gave a much more succinct definition than I ever could.

And the thing is, it usually can only be diagnosed as the disease progresses and other "things" are ruled out. A process of elimination, so to speak.

When I return to Arizona, I'm hoping to go to the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix to see if we can get to the bottom of all the problems.

And Donna, let us know how the speaking engagement goes. I'm sure you'll look lovely.

Thanks for the prayers.

Blessings, Francine

Francine and Donna: I'm definitely praying none of you have MS. Thanks for clarifying that for me. It just slipped my mind and couldn't figure it out!- [Big Grin] Memorypause [Confused] ?

Blessings!
