Jane presents today for follow up of bilateral arm symptoms.  These are intermittent in nature.  She describes this sensation as being somewhat numb.  She states she has some times where she has episodes, for which she was evaluated, where she just is unable to raise her arm above her head to brush her hair.  She states the arms feel diffusely weak.  She states her mother and her uncle both have numb hands.  She denies any headache.  She denies any vision disturbance.  She notes she has some difficulty with her memory.  She also has a number of days where she will feel well and other days where she feels completely wiped out.  She states there are times when her thinking is clear and other times when it is not.  She states her son has attention deficit disorder, and she feels that she likely has had this problem.  In fact, in the past she had been advised to start Ritalin but never did.

In light of the patient's significant fatigue, we will recheck her iron studies.  In light of her numbness and family history of numb hands, we will check B-12 levels.  Also will check TSH, sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein.  Suggested nerve conduction studies, but the patient states she does not like pain and really does not wish to proceed with this at this time.  Also discussed with the patient having evaluation for attention deficit disorder and seeking assistance of one of the psychiatrists.  She states she will think this over for the next few weeks.  She will follow up with me in one month.  She is having some additional problems with her periods at this time, and this may be contributing somewhat to her fatigue.  She did take her birth control pill continuously while she was gone on vacation and may be having a heavier period at this time related to that fact.  Will see how she responds over the next month.

PENDING LABS:  Ferritin, TSH, B-12, hemogram, sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein.
