Default Trudging through the diagnostic tests without an answer . . .

Well, so far my head and cervical spine MRI's have been ok, and now my thoracic spine MRI was clear. The neuro=opthamologist found thinning of the retina, but little else. I am now awaiting VEP (visual evoked potentials) results. He seem to lean toward NMO (neuromyelitis optica) instead of MS. Please I don't want it to be NMO . . .

Meanwhile, my symptoms keep progressing, my function continues to decrease, and and . . . no diagnosis. (sigh) But I am working with a physical therapist, who found some areas of atypical tightness, given my strength level (surprised me when she said I was strong!)

While in the office a couple months ago my neuro's assistant suggested I submit some art for their upcoming MS art exhibit. I posted about it in the "creativity" forum; you can see it here: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/post652683-1.html
