Dear Friends,

We hope that you all had only treats this Halloween weekend and had time to enjoy the beautiful, crisp autumn weather!

I hope this finds you all getting plenty of rest.

I greatly appreciate the advice that I have been receiving from this group. I do have a problem and am hoping that someone can give me some input. My headaches seem to have eased as long as I keep heat away from the top of my head and avoid stress. The new problem is numbness in my face, left arm and hand ... and apparently today it is in the right arm as well.

It also looks like once you are positive for the disease, a person has a 50/50 chance of it being NeuroInvasive. hmmm.

I actually thought that I was going insane. The top of my head feels abraised and I can't even stand to have a breeze move my hair; and often can't stand the thought of even washing my hair because I know it will hurt. I have numbness and/or tingling in the left side of my face, my left arm and hand and my right foot. My eyes feel mattered, but don't look it and I sweat a lot.

It was grace of God that I was ever diagnosed - my brother put my symptoms into WebMD and ask the hospital doctor if I might have WN.

Just thought I would share with you all. Hope you're all having a healthy summer.
