I'm a little scared. My ON has flared to the worst it has EVER been- I spend most my days drugged up just to not be in pain. I'm in the process of getting a referral to a neurologist here in the South Texas Valley, but having to start from scratch with new doctors is frustrating. I'm looking forward to having people to talk to (in addition to very sympathetic family and boyfriend) that can understand just what this is like. People who have not dealt with it tend to not be very understanding...
