Would this qualify as a reason for going to the ER for some IV steroids, or should I just wait till morning?

I noticed I was really walking funny. Having to lift my right foot way up to walk. So I decided to let my foot drag and see if things were easier. I went and looked up foot drop symptoms and it seems really familiar.

I really want to take a shower, but now I'm scared to do that.

Oh, and I'm starting to feel the symptoms of a UTI now. Why is it always on a weekend!?!? I'm going to go call my aunt and ask her what she thinks.

I HAD decided to go to the urgicare I use to get checked for a UTI tonight. I knew they'd moved, so I googled to look up and see where they went.

Cant find them. Their website no longer shows any locations for Omaha. I called the number that I have for them. That's still good, it gives the website address (where they're no longer listed) and then it goes to voicemail, which then tells me that the voicemail is full.

WTH?

I'm really annoyed.

This place used to be great. I'd go in, actually get to see the PA that I see at my regular doctor's office, and would get taken care of, and now suddenly they're gone? Ok, I'm really mad.

I guess I'll go and very carefully take a shower (yay that my dad bought me a shower stool the other day) and see if I can at least get my hair washed. Then I'll have to wait impatiently for my doctor's office to open in the morning. Probably end up having a nurse visit because it seems like I would have to give up my firstborn (which I dont have one) to get an appointment there any more. (used to be easy to go see a doctor, I wonder why it's so difficult now?)

im sorry no one was awake to answer your post. If you have to ask "should I go to the ER" the answer is always YES! dont play with your sanity, health and disease.

I hope you are feeling better after some rest.

My aunt, a nurse practitioner, told me it could wait. So I waited. I'm about to go call them in a minute. I havent even stood up yet. (literally just woke up, laptop is right next to my bed) so I have to see how I am first.

I think everyone was watching the superbowl last night, that's why no one answered my posts. Oh well.

Edit

Got an appointment with regular doctor today to see if I have a UTI and see if he'll give me some physical therapy for whatever is going on. I also called the possibly new neurologist (could just be a 2nd opinion) and made sure they have my chart and they're supposed to call me back in a day or two with an appointment. Guess it's time to hurry up and wait.

My right leg is still dragging, which really sucks. Left leg is burning. Not sure which is more annoying.

I'm still backing off on the baclofen, and that seems to be helping a teeny bit. At least on the falling asleep anytime I sit down for more than a couple of minutes. Strangely enough, the spasticity around my ribcage doesnt feel as annoying (it'll probably pick up now that I said that and I'm thinking about it) I have to get dressed now so that I can go pee in a cup at the doctor's office.

Hope you get some answers, Erin~

Well, I got a UTI. That explains this a little bit. but, I KNEW IT! Maybe after a little macrobid things will calm down a little bit.

and, I got some physical therapy! (yay!) That will count as some of the exercise that the doctor kvetched at me that I should do. (been trying, havent been feeling good tho)

That was just my regular doctor, who is really cool about stuff, his dad has MS, so he understands MS better than the other doctors in that office. It was kind of nice to sit and talk with him. I wish he would have addressed the limping/dragging crap that's going on now. He just told me to take it slow till I get to a neuro (either my current one or the new one)
