Unfortunately, my symptoms have gotten worse. My speech is getting more slurred and my balance has not been very good either and my short term memory is getting shorter by the day. I wiped out in a parking lot about amonth ago and still have the deep scabs on my knee, and then I fell out of the van last weekend but thankfully was able to grab the car next to us to break my fall. I have been trying to ignore the sx's....but it's getting harder to do.

I have been on ad's for about 15 years, and am monitored at least quarterly to keep me on track. I was just not expecting to have news like that I guess. My Dr. really regreted having to tell me this information....I'm sure it is not a conversation he would want to have with anyone. I do not blame him though, he's human and that is exactly what I wanted in a Dr..... one with a "heartbeat" and one that has compassion, of which he has both.
