[Debbie D]

Hi all,
Went in for a neuropsych evaluation yesterday...ugh. Over 2 hrs. of torture. I was in tears twice...couldn't think of words, couldn't remember a sequence of numbers, couldn't figure out picture patterns...it was so frustrating.

Then, after I was finished with that, I had a neuro appt. He sat with DH and me for 45 min...so kind. He thoroughly discussed my sxs, explained how some of the meds help (or not).
He had me walk around, and noticed that my right foot is now dropping...we discussed the increase in spasms, the numb bladder, bladder/bowel incontinence and other stuff that's on the upswing...he touched my arm to sooth me when he saw me getting upset. He also discussed a new med coming out soon that will help my "weepies". He said that this isn't depression, but a condition that I can't remember..My DH can't wait...his shoulder's been real wet lately

As we were leaving, he told me, "Call if you see a change or have a problem. Don't wait until your appointment to tell me about all of it." I never had a dr. tell me that...I am so happy with this dr. But so, so sad that I seem to be getting a bit worse. I guess I'm still denying that this is real...I keep thinking that I'm imagining it all...at least I have a great DH and neuro in my corner!
