For the past six months, I've had a neuro-psych issue that causes my left hand to tremor. It also causes transient amnesia issues, loss of concentration/comprehension, short term memory problems, plus depression and anxiety attacks. Due to this, I have been away from the work I love and unable to read/comprehend large passages, as in books or papers. I live in a suburban area and can no longer drive, as I get "lost." I've been to multiple neurologists, a neuro-psych eval, psychiatrist and such, trying to determine a root cause. So far, I have no final, thorough diagnosis.
Most recently, another problem has brought on sciatica in my left leg, preventing me from walking more than a block or so at a time.
Finally, to add insult to injury, this problem with my behind, which I had fought and thought that I had conquered early in 2011 has now returned to haunt me.
It is, all in all, getting to be a bit much! Oh yes, I am a service connected disabled veteran (Nam era). These days, I go to sleep most nights hoping to just not wake up tomorrow.
