Thanks for checking on me. I just got home...(long day). I guess I am officially in "Limbo-Land". I really liked the neuro and she was very thorough and listened to all I had to say. She sat down with me for a solid hour...it was nice not to feel like she was trying to push me out the door.

She said that some of my symptoms are consistent with MS and others are not. She ordered even more blood work. She thinks some of my experience maybe related to low vit-D. I've had low vit-D levels in a past lab...so she wanted to run it again (the previous test was over 8 months old). She said it may explain some of my experience...but that there is definitely something neurological also going on.

She also ordered a brain/spine MRI, and put me on what she described as an "old-school" neuropathic pain med to help with the tingling/pins and needles and the like. (I forget the name, and it's over at the pharmacy now).

She did all the reflex tests and such. I asked her how I was doing and she said, "mostly ok". (??????) She wouldn't really give me a hint of what she was thinking. She said that she wasn't going to start guessing until she had all the information from the tests to work from. (as frustrating as that is, it's actually the best approach...even though i just want to know!!).

So, I now I wait. They will get the ball rolling for the MRI and then I go see her again on March 15th to see what all the results are.

Thanks again, everyone!! I truly appreciate you being here!!
