Hello, all!

Went to the neurologist today, and he was really nice. The gentlemen I seen today was from Minnesota filling in for the one here in town while he's in Florida. He was exceptional nice and understanding. I don't like to be mean about another doctor, but he told me to be honest, so I was.

Well, any hoo, I do have definate MS, and they drew blood today, to make sure it wasn't Lyme, West Nile Virus, and did the blood work they need to do to get me started on medication. I've been researching Avonex, but they thought for now best to put me on Betaseron. Is anyone on Betaseron and do they have any advice on this medication?

Also, talking about putting me on Neurontin for pain. I'm so glad that I've found a neurologist who will listen to me. He also has an MS specialist in his office, and I will see her most of the time, and she was compassionate, and understanding of what I'm going through.

I go back to see them on February 6, and hopefully will start my medicine not long after that. Well, thanks for listening to me about my situation. Hope everyone had a pain free day!
