Shocked

So I'm back! So much to take in let me tell ya!!! So for starters he wants me to do iv steroids for 5 days ASAP to help with my cervical spine lesion- he thinks its a flair? The Iv steroids is scary to me as it was new and unfamiliar to me.

Onto the ms- well I only have 2 lesions on my brain and the one on my cervical spine- so he said he would need 7 lesions on my brain to dx with ms- BUT a big but he is concerned about the one my spine esp its the one giving me the symptons and the location. So even though I do not meet the criteria he would like to treat me as if I had ms and spinal puncture and keep watching to see if I get new lesions. He said he would rather treat and it not be ms but wouldn't feel comfortable not treating a cervical lesion and it be more.

So all in all I say I am pretty happy. Me being **** as I am I would like a definite yes you have this or no you don't- but I'm getting that this isn't going to happen soon.

Now onto research meds- from the little reading I have done copaxone seems to the one people like the most because of the lack of s/e- my doc suggested pill form tecfidera if insurance approves it.

Thanks so much for the support I appricate it all from the bottom of my heart- I needed a place for my crazy head to vent! So thank you!
