@johnbishop, and all... John, it appears I have vertebrobasilar disease, left vertebral artery going to the basilar artery... cerebral arteriosclerosis. Yucky yuck! May be cause of dizziness, falling, dropping things more with right hand, right head/neck/shoulder/arm pain, double vision, blurred vision, and whatever else we can conjour. Don't know about worsening symptoms of weakness, magnets holding my feet down, drooping muscles on both sides of face all after lyind down on my back. Referred to vascular neurology, sinus for infection noted, CT scan for vascular head info, etc. I suppose we're looking at a stroke somewhere in my future. I'll find out when I visit the neurologist and move on from there. I really want the new symptoms dealt with to stop with the shuffling and droopy face and falling. That's not a good way to start every day and they are increasing. So, here we go again! One more thing...
I suppose acceptance is in order as I find out more info. It's time for deep thinking about my son's future as he's getting worse as well. We have some discussions to have if there's ever a time he's able. Hmmm....
Well, thanks, John. You are a good soul. Blessings, ess
