I'm OK for another year. But I think I knew that. My family practice doctor had ordered an MRI of lumbar spine last August which showed spinal stenosis. So I gave her that report to see if it could shed any light on all my wierd leg and foot problems. I had seen a neuro surgeon after the MRI and he said that from what the MRI showed there was nothing he could do to help. So my neuro said that just confirmed that the problem was MS. We have always had that little nagging thought in the back fo our minds that it might not be MS since after 13 years I still have the one lesion on the pons. I have been on Avonex since day one. She did say it might be causing some of my 'gotta go feeling' since I am on Ditropan.

I hate getting non answers. I have been having a tummy issue. The MD says "not something I know how to treat." the surgeon says "its surgical" the GI dude says "its irritable bowel" the MS folks say "its an MS thing" and so on. How many different things can it be?

Im glad your appointment is over for the year.

Just thinking of both of you. This disease is very aggravating. I wish there were easy answers for all these issues and they could be resolved. I'm sorry you are having to go through this.

I hope you can somehow feel some comfort soon.
