Default After much deliberation I have decided I am just going to quit MS.

So I followed up with pcp today who sent me thyroid ultrasound and ordered more bloodwork, so tomorrow I have bloodwork, friday I have TY infusion, Monday is the Ortho follow up.

pcp and neuro have signed off for ortho to do vertebroplasty procedure in all of the broken bones. I refused to go back on any crazy people pills, as they all made me crazy.

The next appt with pcp is next month where he has booked a whole hour and would like to have a phone conference with neuro because he realizes I am ready to stop taking all meds and call it a day. He agrees I should not be on medication to counteract other medications, but he does not want me to stop them all. In fact he wrote me more prescriptions while I was there... 5 minutes after telling me I ma on too many meds!

Sometime in the next month before going back I am supposed to follow up with the new endo (already determined we do not like his office), follow up with ortho, have lumbar MRI and bone density scan done AND have the vertebroplasty done.

Lets see, did I miss anything? Oh yeah we got the labs back form last time and yes, it was another Ty induced UTI. He wanted to do cortisone shots in my hip to stop the swelling... but the neuro says NO STEROIDS with the ty. So I am pretty much on my own with that one...

I am so tired of being poked and prodded and xrayed and mri'd and infused and touched and.... you know I am just tired. And I am grumpy. But I just give up. I am quitting MS. I tried it for 2 yrs, I have decided I just don't like it, it's not for me. I think i would like to send it back
