REDO YOUR MESSAGE;IT IS UNCLEAR TO ME! TALK TO YOUR NEUROLOGISTS.

Hello @tonyagann -- welcome to Mayo Connect. We are glad you found us. I have no medical training or medical background but I think your question is best asked of your doctor. It is a good question. I did find some information here that may give you some helpful information.
