A little over 2 months I had a neurological episode. It was initially thought to be a small stroke. The only thing that seemed to baffle my doctors, is the fact that I am only 34 years old. After many tests, and blood samples, MRIs, CT scans, and a SPINAL TAP (WOOHOOO!!!), I have once again stumped the medical professionals. It is now no longer believed to be a stroke. The doctors now think it Clinical Isolated Syndrome. It is similar to, and usually the first sign of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Awesome.
Since I feel totally fine, I'm not concerned too much about my physical well being. Whatever it is, it is. There is nothing that can change that. It is my job that I care about. I am an FDNY Fireman, and I was told today that I am going to ride a desk for at least the next 6 months, or until my next MRI. Then, if everything still looks OK, I will probably have to fight to return to full duty status.
It just seems like another added layer of stress that I could do without right now. I don't need sympathy, and I don't want good cheer. I just needed to vent, and this always seems like a good blowoff valve.
