After the diagnosis of Myoclonus in July, I started treatment and things seemed to be going ok. Then in the beginning of September, I started having heartburn that wouldn't go away. On September 18th, I was at work when it became unbearable. I went to Piedmont Hospital. I ended up having 3 angioplasties and a stent put in. I thought all would be fine but I was wrong. 3 days after being released, I was having pain again and alot of dizziness. Back to Piedmont. I was having clotting issues and the kept me on Warfin for 2 days. Once again, I felt better but not 100% yet I continued to work.
I've been walking to work because the meds make me feel "off" and I don't feel safe to drive. In addition, I've lost almost 30 pounds since September so I thought I was on the right track or so I thought.
Got to work December 5th and felt odd. Actually, I had been feeling that way for the previous 2 days but this time it was different. At about 1:30pm, the tingling and stabbing began. Once again I was off to Piedmont. More test revealed more problems. Long and short of it, had another two angioplasties and another stent put in. To top it all off, I go back in 6 weeks an have get yet another stent (they wanted to wait to see if this one would help correct the other and maybe avoid the other stent). In addition, we're looking into the connection between the myoclonus and it's effects on other systems.
So, I continue the drug therapy and am starting the Mediterranean Diet to avoid further complications.
Until later, I keep trudging along.
