Default I have MS!

ok, after many pokes, prods, and tests by several special MDs. it has been determined that I DO NOT have primary sjogrens. The RA MD was more than premature in her zeal to provide me with a sjogrens dx. The MS MD said i have PRIMARY MS, RRMS. NOT sjogrens, and he proceeded to take a bite out of the other md for trying to drag me off my path. He said they work very hard to provide a dx, and frequently keep people ON limbo isle till they can prove or disprove MS, and he didnt hand me that dx lightly.

So, IF and thats a big IF I have secondary sjogrens, it doesnt matter if I have that lip biopsy or not, it wont change my treatment. it wont matter. I can still be treated for my poor old dry eyes without interfering with my dx.

My MRI shows 2 new non enhanced lesions and 2 new enhanced lesions. I was a run away train before and was collecting lesions like a kid collects baseball cards. So, this is a slow down for me. I am to stay on copaxone for another 6 months and we will re eval from there. it appears as though the C is starting to do its job. took forever with me.

Thanks for all the support.
