I hope you're feeling better today Deb. Maybe he could give you something for fatigue? I take Nuvigil now (it replaces Provigil) and I can't function without it. If I did have to stop taking it, I'd have to call off my job search because this is what keeps me awake during the day.

I call my neuro when something major is going on. We had an arguement the time before last since I wasn't calling him for major things.
I usually wait a couple of days to make sure it wasn't a push on my stubborn part that caused the symptoms. If not gone or if new, it's a call. If I fall because something wasn't acting right, I call just to let him know. Hope you feel better.

i agree deb. time to call the dr. he's part of your medical team, of which you're a member. he needs to be kept in the loop. maybe he can make some med changes. something that will help you.
i hope you're called. let us know how you are.

Well...uh...I didn't call. At least not yet.
The fatigue seems to have faded away. The spasms are back, but again, that's an old sxs that comes and goes. So I don't think I need to call...I guess

24 hr rule, unless I'm sure that it's a flare before that. Because my flares tend to be severe, and need to begin steroids ASAP.
If my flares did not require treatment, would wait 48 hrs, and call so neuro would have noted symptoms in my medical record. It is my belief that your neuro needs to know about a flare, even if you do not require neuro's assistance. ~ Faith

I am newly diagnosed and so relate to not knowing whether to call or not. My Doc says to call her when something new happens but make sure to let her know if I want treatment for the symptom or not..Also, the MS clinic I go to has a handy checklist to go through that's colored coded so you know what's possibly important or not. I'll try to find it and post a link. Good luck!
