Thanks all, for your input. Here's my summary:

Maybe I'm just highly in tune with my body. That is true, but it's pretty hard not to notice that your tongue is sore...lol

I might be in a flare. If so, do I need 'roids? Since I'm not severely impacted, I'm thinking not, but then again, what do I know?

Or, worst case, I could be progressing (my own fearful thought). And yet, the progression is extremely mild: no blindness, no limp, no severe pain. And the two MRIs I've had (one in Aug and one in Dec) show no changes. That should be good news, right?

My options: Call my neuro now, wait a few weeks to see if anything changes, or wait to see her in April.

I've spent my whole life "playing it by ear" but when it comes to your health, and your ability to see, speak, walk, work waiting just stinks.

Been through some tough crap in my life. Now I know why--All preparation for this!
