anxiously awaiting your report.
are you ok?

well, its a 2 hour ride up and 2 hour ride back. so, it took me a while.

I was in the MD office for about 2 hours as well. He was thorough, and took a lot of time to really ferret out all the details. I didnt feel rushed, pushed, or like I was inconviencing anyone because I was an emergent appointment.

He feels that the whole thing IS MS related, and that the ANS tests will bear that out, but he also feels that this is going to be a pancreas thing as well as a tummy thing. He ordered alot of blood work. Its rare since I am not a drinker, but there is a heriditary thing that can happen. He took blood to confirm his suspicions.

I have an MRI for July 8 to see my tummy, and pancreas, and we will know more from there. I cant do CT scan dye so they decided that an MRI would be better for me.

Still more questions than answers, but I like this guy. He said he loves puzzles, and will help me get to the bottom of this. He wanted me OFF the reglan, as I already have a neuro disorder,and reglan can exacerbate stuff like MS and so on. He said he isnt worried, if I need my meds, take um! if my tummy gets really slow, ramp up on the miralax. If one end gets going,it will force the other to move.

So...its a nice start. I hate this stupid disease! it has ruined more things than I can count.

Hey Dej, glad you were able to get in to see the doc. And happy to know that he is willing to figure out your "puzzle!" Feel better.

Thanks for the update, Dej...sounds like you found a winner in the doc...
I sure hope that he can figure it out and get a treatment plan going so that you feel better...

The doc called me personally today, to tell me about my blood work that did come back in. Since things are calmer now than they have been, he is chosing to not push the MRI up faster, unless I am back in pain, or have a fever. He took his time again on the phone with me, and really seemed interested in what I had to say.

I like this guy! I hope he finds out what is wrong with my tummy.

I am so glad you really like this doctor. It's great he took the time to talk to you and didn't rush you - sometimes that is the best when you don't know the answers and are waiting for them.

Dej, I'm glad you found a keeper. They're hard to find. I bet you are curious yourself to what this is and why? I pray it is not a major thing, but one that can be treated easily.

We never know what's in our DNA from many past generations and why we are the ones to get these ailments. So maybe he is on the right track in finding a cause for your pain and fever. You need answers ASAP.

Good luck to you with your testing.

Good luck, Dej ! I'm really glad you found a doc who will take the time to help you. It is amazing how hard it is to find decent doctors.

Waiting for news with you............. feel better!

i'm so glad you found such a good dr.
i'm sending good well wishes your way.
