HI All, and BGB!

I went in for a 2nd opinion today. and things look promising! I was misdiagnosed with MG back in '07 and i have been on medicine that i didn't need for a year now. I am working to get off of the medicine and it is possible that the sx (esp. the weird ones) are resulting from the medicine and the withdrawal from it!

I would be so happy if that were the case. I mean I'd be a little embarassed but hey I'd take embarassment over MS any day/!!! The new neuro is going to order an MRI of my brain to rule out any possible MS but she feels fairly confident that it will come back normal. I sure hope so! that would be awesome!

I have learned my lesson about pushing for a dx too quickly. and about letting what i know about different diseases get the best of me (make me so attentive to my own body that the little "normal" things become huge things and then the wrong dx is made!

I seem to have a pretty good neuro right now and she is willing to work with me to help me get somethings ruled out! I hope we rule out everything!!!! It also helps that she is close to home and they accept patients w/o insurance! soooooo I'm feeling a little bit better and so glad for the good news! I still have balance issues and doubble vision (intermitantly) but the balance could/might only be caused by the doubble vision and that usually only occurs under stress or when very fatigued.

as for the muscular problems they are likely to be caused by the meds that i was on for the disease i didn't have. so hopefully when the meds go away, the muscular problems will too!

thanks for all the love and support that ya'll have shown me!
Rachael!
