I was seen at my Neurologist’s office yesterday. Since it had been just about a year since I had seen them, they did a pretty thorough exam. This included a “gate analysis” that is taken by walking on this weight-sensitive mat on the floor. The mat is probably 20 feet long, and it is hooked up to a computer that analyzes every little nuance of weight bearing on each step you take, as well as the profile of your gate. A year ago (pre LDN) I had the same tests, and it was really interesting seeing the change. The PA noted improved leg strength, eye coordination, and balance. She seemed to be only mildly pleased with the improvement, though I did see a slight smile behind her poker face. What I really wanted to hear her say is “OMG! What an improvement since you started the LDN.” But since I was refused an Rx for LDN by this doctor, I suppose I expected too much. As I left, the PA said that she was going to bring the test results to my Neurologist’s attention. She hesitated a bit, and then said “He’ll probably want to see this for himself.”

Next week I go for may annual MRI. That should be interesting as well.
