Thank You, Everyone! I had to call the Neuro yesterday for during my Infusions I was having a low blood pressure. The nurses were not happy with with it so they called. The neuro called me back later in the day to check on me.

I asked him about the dx written on the paper. He said to me, "Charlotte, I am sorry that upset you and I am sure it was hard to see. You were there for the Infusion for a dx of MS, yes I feel you have MS 100%. I also have Laura (the nurse) working on finding a medication I can give you to slow this down for free since you have no insurance. This is the fifth time in less than a year you have been on some type of Steroid's - each time it fixes the problem, that is a sign of MS along with every one of your sx, I am sorry to say but you have MS. It is time to slow this down if we can and I can't wait any longer and either can you."

He then went on to appologize that he did this over the phone, he felt really bad but I told him it was ok, I am the one who asked. Plus, I need to know so I can personally deal with it. He is a wonderful Neuro - I respect him and trust him.

Thank you for your support!
