The only thing worse than having a cold is your husband having a cold lol. The poor thing is much worse off than I am, too. I hope I don't get as sick as he is because I won't take OTC cold meds.

My appointment with my PCP did not go very well. He went "Med-Blind" and is convinced it's the seroquel- even though I told him I had reduced the daytime dose and it hadn't made a difference, and I know the difference between fatigue and sedation. He wouldn't consider anything else.

After a cursory exam he did order labs, but it was a fight. I was satisfied with what he ordered though. He also increased my synthroid from 50 to 75mg because my levels were off but borderline last time.

I have an appointment with my neurologist on Monday. I should have the results of my blood tests by then, and they'll be helpful. Since I'm not having a clear relapse, it's important for my neurologist to know other things have been excluded before he can assess my symptoms in terms of MS. I wonder how much weight he will give to my med list? He may order an MRI, but I hope not. They're expensive and I'm still paying my percentage of the 999,999 I've already had. In general, I don't have high expectations for the appointment. I don't expect him to do much more than examine me and take notes.

Just for the hell of it, I'm going to go back through several months to find the dates when I made the increases in seroquel that brought me up to my current dose of 750mg. I know that the fatigue has become a major problem for about the last month, but I'm going to check up on that, too. I want to see if there is a direct correlation.
