So I talked to the lady that schedules my neuro appt and she said if I think I am bad enough to go to ER.

I chose not to. My appt is finally on Tuesday

However, I have DEFINITELY been progressing since I wrote this post.


My walk is much worse. Speech still gets really messed up. I am now clenching my left hand and arm when these episodes happen (when first dx in '09 it was my right arm/hand that I would clench). My friend pointed out last night, when I am having one of these episodes my left eye gets really droopy and its like the left side of my face clenches up.


I've noticed when these episodes happen and I am walking, my legs start locking up, I've got the drunk lean going on, and for some reason I laugh when it's happening EVERYTIME.

It's far from funny and is quite embarrassing so I am assuming that's PBA?


On top of all that yuck, the spasticity in my back is out of control and nonstop (which is usually a big indicator for me of relapsing) and I could sleep for 3 days straight.

I've been keeping up on me vitamins tho


I'm afraid the new neuro is going to make me do a DMD.. I can see I am progressing, I am not okay with it, but I am also not okay with poisoning my body.

I don't wanna take that road again.

poopy, poopy ms.
I hear 'ya about not wanting to go to the ER. MSers have sensitive immune systems, who wants to catch something in the ER and make matters worse? Not I!

If DMD's aren't for you, they just aren't for you!!

Hope all goes well at the next appointment and they have some answers.

Are you able to get a new primary care physician, since they don't like you at the one you've got?
