7. To make a long story short (thanks for asking...)
I don't recall posting the entire list:

* Balance problems, I can topple over easily if not careful
* Fine tremor (in both arms, but could be worse on left side - hard to tell)
* Occasional spasms on left side of the body (generally when fatigued and definitely exacerbated by anxiety)
* Apparently some weakness in left arm (diagnosed Wednesday but I don't recall a thing that day so maybe I dreamt it all up? :shrug: )
* Short term memory problems (especially since Wed., but then I haven't done much since, apart from mom's phone call and talking with an acquaintance, little of which I've remembered.)
* numbness and tingling in extremities (fingers and left foot seem prone - neck tingling caused by misaligned vertabrae, but nobody's perfect...)
* Foot sometimes drops when walking, putting me in danger of tripping (left, even I think there's a pattern by now)
* Some weakness in lifting objects; they seem heavier now but didn't several months ago. Or maybe I'm imagining that.
* Cognitive slowness (moreso than usual)
* Dazed trances, not concentrating (with no emotional subtext such as anxiety). Wednesay AM, when driving to work, I nearly got myself into an accident that likely would have killed me because I wasn't concentrating. I didn't even notice the car approaching me and I'm damn lucky there wasn't a car approaching from the opposite side...)
