Good morning, JK (@contentandwell) and Heria (@heria)
So much of what we experience is mysterious. Yesterday I underwent an EMG exam and then met with the doctor. He was at a loss as to just what is my chief problem, other than to say it's something in the neurologic "gray area." He's referring me "up" the specialists' chain to meet with the Top Neurology Doc at our local hospital. In the meantime, both my swollen feet & ankles and my poor balance remain mysteries!
Merry Monday to us all!

@ray666 I guess that's why medicine is still a practice. I hope you get some relief seeing the neurology doctor and if so you will keep us informed.
When I had non-alcoholic cirrhosis it went diagnosed for about 16 months, probably because even doctors think first of a person having a drinking problem, which I did not. Cirrhosis often causes the person to experience periods of delusion and confusion so they sent me to a neurologist. He was the one who finally diagnosed my cirrhosis. He said he thought my brain was fine, that the problem was probably in my liver. I owe my life to him because I had malignant lesions and if they had been more abundant I would not have qualified for a liver transplant but thankfully my cirrhosis was caught in the nick of time and the lesions were ablated, and I eventually had a transplant.
