My PCP set up the neuro appointment, it's next week on thursday, going to try to put it out of mind (lol) until then.

I'm a little nervous as I have to be outside most of the day today. I haven't spent much time outside since the last time that I had so much trouble walking. It's suppose to be in the mid 80's and humid. It's a work thing that will have me outside for at least 5-6 hours. I've gained weight since last summer so don't dare wear shorts, instead I'll be melting in my jeans. Hope! Hope all goes ok.

Ice water, ice packs, and wearing thin breathable clothing all help. Stay in the shade if you can. Enjoy your event.

It can take a lot to get diagnosed sometimes. Not everyone is lucky and gets dx with just an MRI. I had the MRI and it had all the bells and whistles for MS, but doc still sent me off for spinal. It came back negative. Fast forward 20yrs later, I did another spinal and it came back positive, nice little O-bands you have in your spinal fluid with MS. Thing Im getting at is sometimes you have to do what you have to do to get that dx. I had gone thru every test there is out there for my initial dx 20yrs prior, but because I hadn't kept up with any neurologist over the years, that new neuro put me thru all the tests again like I was new to it, just to make sure. I hated doing it, but I did it. Better to know than not. Good luck to you, and we're all here for you!

It turn out fine. We had rain at first that kept us indoors for a while and although I did get warm later into the night, I was never super hot or in direct sun. I felt ok. I was careful going up & down wet stairs after the rain, but no problems. Maybe I was just busy and distracted, but didn't seem to have any trouble. I was so happy!! and it was a very long night.
