Thank you for the warm welcome.

I did see a neurologist when my symptoms first began but I wasn't happy with her. Mostly because she seemed more interested in pushing meds that I could not tolerate, and was less interested in finding out what was causing my symptoms. That was my only experience with a neurologist. Sad huh? I'm not even sure what her background was, or even how I ended up in her office. I think my husband must have gotten a referral from the ER Dr. At that time I could barely form sentences, and could not walk unassisted. It was a very scary time.

I have been trying to get medical insurance but was denied by private insurance. So I've applied for the "high risk" medical insurance offered through my state. But since I have no actual diagnosis I'm not feeling confident that I'll even be able to obtain a policy through the state either... sigh.

I'm going to look into finding an MS specialist to see if I'm even looking in the right direction. Something is terribly off, I just wish I knew what it was, and how to manage it going forward.

Thanks again for your suggestions... keep 'em coming
