Saw the neuro today. Our first meeting since moving to Kentucky.
I liked him with our first handshake.

He was very nice and had me go all the way back to when I was
first dx. That was in 1984. Asked a lot I mean a lot of questions.
Then he tested me with the usual tests that are given on the first
visit. My balance and walking was awful. Joking he asked what was I
drinking. I didn't do very good on his memory testing.

I am going to have an MRI of brain
MRI of spine
EVP Visual test
Neuropsych testing
My last MRI was in 2007. I was able to get a copy of it from the
hospital I had it done in before I moved.

After all tests are done, we will talk about results and where I go
from there.

He also asked if I would sign up for a clinical research that they are
doing. It is for the JC Virus. I never heard of it. I was told it is a research
study to analysis and determine precisely where the JCvirus is hiding. It does
effect the immune systerm. It is a benign virus, since it produces no
symptoms. But the virus can be reactivated in the setting of decreased immune function.

He asked me to participate because I have never taken any of the
MS drugs. So far it has been with people that have taken one or the other
of the drugs.

Took 3 blood vials and urine specimen. I will only have to do it this
one time.

Now to wait till all the tests are taken and then see where it
leads.
