Hemiplegic Migraine & a Freebie

2007-04-26T12:13:00.000-05:00

I don't know if any of you have ever heard of this particular problem, but believe me! It is a huge pain in the butt! Some of you who know me, know that I have been battling since November, 2006 with this particular episode. One doctor said stroke. The problem being, nothing shows up on the tests they do. However, every time this occurs, I have to be treated, at first, as if I have had a stroke. If they didn’t, I could possibly really be having a stroke and not get the proper treatment.

A little history here. I have been having episodes with this, for want of a better word, disorder, since I was 30. (49 now) I have had EMG's (nasty, painful test), lumbar punctures (worse than the EMG), shots into my tailbone, (OUCH!), CAT scans, MRI's, blood work, you name it! I have been told we needed to rule out MS (hence the lumbar puncture that took 5 tries to get!). I've also been told these are TIA's (Transient Ischemic Attack). The latest indignity of all of this was being told to see a psychiatrist. I went and boy did I end up feeling justified! The psychiatrist could not figure out why I had been sent to him. But, you have to play their game, otherwise they are convinced you are faking. How someone could fake the left side of their mouth pulled down constantly is beyond me! I FINALLY found a doctor in 2005 who told me he had seen this several times before and gave me a name for it: Hemiplegic Migraine.

This is what it is:

Hemiplegia is simply paralysis on one side of the body. Someone with hemiplegic migraine has, as one of their symptoms or perhaps their only symptom, trouble moving one side of their body. Since this is a common stroke symptom, it can be frightening. The symptoms usually occur during the migraine attack and sometimes for a while afterwards.

Sometimes it affects most of the one side of the body, at other times only a part. Other symptoms may go along with it, such as difficulty speaking. There may be numbness, or a prickly feeling. Hemiplegic migraine can start in childhood or adulthood. The same person may get headaches or migraine attacks without the weakness as well.

This is the type I appear to suffer from:

*Sporadic Hemiplegic Migraine
The symptoms are the same, but the genetic connection, if any, is unknown.

Anyway, there really was no point to this other than to let me vent. LOL! Thank you, I feel better now. :)

After all that, y'all deserve another new kit.

My newest kit is Girlish Dreams. Someone gave me the idea after I put together my Boys Will Be Boys kit. They said they would like to see a kit with little girl toys in it. Well, my rag doll is not the greatest, but I did try. I was having a hard time finding clip art I could use for the toys so only a very few pieces for you. I hope you enjoy it.

Spring!

2007-04-09T04:57:00.000-05:00

I have been doing some of the challenges over at DSO and thought I would share a few of the layouts that resulted from the challenges. All of the papers and elements used were ones I have made myself.

These are some photos I took near my home just the other day. I titled the layout, Is it Spring Yet?

This is my granddaughter, Kira. Poor little girl, every time she turns around, I have a camera in my hands. Yet another sketch by Amy B. I love using sketches and have found a lot of uses for hers.

This layout was done for the numbers challenge. The photos are my granddaughter, Kira, and my daughter, Sarah. I used a sketch by Amy B.

This is my son, Joshua. The kit used is one I am working on. As soon as it is finished, I will post it here for you.

Here is the one I did for the color challenge.

My friend, Cheryl, over at Cheryl's Creations had posted a fun thing on her blog where you submit a photo of yourself and they match you up with the celebrities you look most like. I just had to try it. I may not agree with the matches, but it was fun seeing what they thought were celebrity matches to my face. I loved being matched to Kathrine Hepburn simply because she has always been one of my favorite actresses.

In the meantime, I've been tagged by Paintchip, aka Cindy, over at Chip's Antidotal Wanderings

These are the rules to play blogtag:

-- List 5 weird things about yourself or your pets.
-- Tag 5 friends and list them.
-- Those people need to write on their blogs about 5 weird things, and state the rules, and tag 5 more people.
-- Don't forget to let the people you tag know by posting a comment on their blog!

Weird (or not so weird) things about me:

1. I like to mix my corn in with my mashed potatoes.

2. I'm a romance book addict.

3. I hate to grocery shop. Actually, I hate any kind of shopping.

4. I save almost everything thinking I'll use it later. Then I wonder how this bunch of junk happened.

5. I love getting new purses.

I'm afraid that since I don't feel I know the people whose blogs I visit well enough, to tag them, this tag will end here.

While I was posting, I just had to show you the photos of my beautiful granddaughter. Kira is 9 months old now and simply a joy to have with us. It's amazing how much love you find welling up in your heart for new additions to the family.

The kits used in all of these were created for the 12 Days of Christmas giveaway at ScrappyDooBooking. The first is by me, the second is Happy Holidays by Cheryl Embry, the third is Scrappy Christmas by Lynn Calderone, the fourth is 12 Days of Christmas by Kathy Neff and the fifth is Christmas Boughs by Gail (northsky).

Mini Kit - Scottish Heritage

2006-11-19T15:21:00.000-05:00

This is my take on the Scottish Heritage color challenge at RAK Scraps. This is only my second attempt at kit making. I figure it is always going to be a learning experience as there will always be something new I will want to figure out how to make.

I have both the little kit and an alpha addon. In no way do I claim ownership of the fonts used for the alphas. I only added a plugin to the font to get the desired look wanted.
