Perky!
One big, warm, tight, hug, handshake and howdy, moose size, official type welcome to the site. This place is amazing!

UGH! Stupid doctors. I hate 'em. Glad you were finally able to get a straight answer though. I, and many of us here, have the MS. What you described sounds very familliar. So know you are among friends.

You are not alone.
You are one of us.
And we are here to help.

P.S. Love the username!
