Hi everyone, I went to see my neurologist on Thursday afternoon (6/18) and he did a full neurological exam (strip down to my boxers deal) and interviewed me prior to this exam about the past 8 months which was the time I saw him in October 2008 for the Bell's Palsy. He did all kinds of stuff like drag a safety pin throughout my body from head to toe, I laid down on my back on he moved my arms and legs around like I was a pretzel, did the push and pull my hands and feet thing to test my strength, and also had me walk back and forth to observe my gait. He said he saw no signs of muscle weakness. His conclusion was that the neuro exam was "normal" and all related to stress and anxiety. Apparently stress can cause this type of crap. In fact he was extremely pleased with my recovery from the Bell's and in fact seemed surprised that my recovery was so quick in just 8 weeks because I had such a severe case. He attributed that to my quick response and the treatment I received right away with the medications.The end recommendation was get more rest (he didn't seem to thrilled about the fact that my full-time and part-time jobs were both VERY stressful in nature). He also said he wants to follow-up with me in 3 months in September. He also saw the Vitamin D results (level was 27) and all he said about that was now that it is Summer here in New England it is time to get outside and get some sun (20 minutes a day). He said the Vitamin D supplements are probably good for the Winter months especially but for the summer getting outside and some exercise is very important. Oh yeah, he also said to stop looking up stuff on the Internet...my wife ratted on me about that.Your thoughts and comments would be appreciated!

) It is time to kick the stress and anxiety and get on with your life...YOU ARE WELL!!!!!!! 
. As many here have found, it is now totally up to you to cope and relieve your stress - take it and run with it! Since your wife ratted on you she has probably noticed you are spending too much time on the computer so maybe you can ask her to now be your exercise buddy to try some stress relieving techniques. It helps to have a buddy as they keep you from slacking; for instance, skipping that yoga class because you're too busy. Wanted to mention that we have had several members (here's a post: ) that have had success becoming less symptomatic by supplementing D. It takes a long time to rebuild your reserves and is slowly absorbed back to normal levels so don't let it go. There's a vitamin D council page - and also the Linus Pauling Institute page. Good luck on continued healing.
