Doc thinks, on Friday.What you decide to

HI Allison and welcome to our community.

You might print out what you have posted and take that with you to your appointment.
I agree with Sally (once again on all points ).

Good luck.

With love, Erika

Hi Allison

Yes, take a list to your doc on Friday, so you don't forget anything when you see him/her. I also agree with Sal and Erika - again

Welcome Allison,

Make sure to bring this list with you, as suggested by our wise person Sal. Also make sure to bring a list of questions, since I know my brain goes blank when I step in the exam room.
Heat can cause a pseudoexacerbation, which isn't a flare up, just an uptick in symptoms due to an increase in body temperature. My neuro prescribed Slurpees whenever I get overheated, and I keep Icees or flavorice in the freezer, as well as a neck wrap that cools the pulse points in my neck.

Keep us up to date...

If repeating what you and many others have said counts as wisdom...then I'm in .

Take it as sound advice from those who have been there Allison. Good luck.

With love, Erika

My legs act up on me too, especially my right one.

I've got another appointment with my neuro in May, so I've decided to put up with most of this. All he does when I tell him about symptoms is go 'Hmm' and rap me in various locations with a rubber hammer. If this spasticity thing keeps going, though, I might have to get something for it.
I was just wondering how your visit went with the Neuro.? I have an apt coming up next week over a "fatty" lesion on my T11 & 12 that is causing me PAIN.
