Winnie (the nurse) told me that they could do a full neuro work-up on her ASAP after that if it seemed to be warranted.
My heightened sensitivity to her symptoms was validated by the nurse. While she didn't want me dragging my daughter immediately upon having a strange symptom, she did agree that it's wise to be tuned in to those symptoms because a dx and treatment early in the disease process (if it's there) substantially improves the prognosis.
Now I just have to figure out when I can get her to the doctor . . . being 18, one month from high school graduation, working and playing soccer doesn't leave much time for things like doctor's appointments!  |
Sounds like a very good plan!
Boy, I remember those busy days of kids in high school... end of the year was the worst, and end of the LAST year was over-the-top worse! But it sounds like a really good idea to get her in to her GP soon, have her checked, and go from there.
I hope nothing wrong is found. We moms worry, and rightly so. Keep us posted.
