I saw my PCP this morning, and he ordered a whole lot of blood work. He also calmed me down when he reminded me that my last two angiograms showed that the blood vessels are quite clear. He said that means that the likelihood of a stroke is greatly reduced. He said that I shouldn’t panic because he isn’t panicking, and that he isn’t just going to put me on a bunch of anti-clotting medication unless they are really necessary.

What a relief! So many other doctors would just put me on a bunch of blood thinners and send me on my way. I really like my PCP. He said that if my blood work comes back OK, I should mention it to my MS doctor.
