My mom and I don't talk much (haven't much in the last 13 years), she's not happy with who I am married to and I have to many kids, and so now. So we don't talk much, anyway I get an email from her wanting to know if I am OK now from my LP now and if the blood patch helped. I email her back and told her I didn't get the blood patch just the caffeine IV and it helped. So she emails back Oh you should have gotten the blood patch, it helped her SO much when she had her LP. What LP???

I called her and asked her when she had an LP and why. It was a long time ago (she never said how long) and get this, The Dr tries to tell her she had MS

She goes on to tell me that she didn't have any SX of MS so she know it wasn't right. She goes on to tell me that she is so sure I don't have MS and that I'm worring about this all too much. How in the world does she know what I even worry about when she doesn't even know what goes on in my life.

I asked her why she had the LP done and she said because for PCP asked her to, I asked why and she said SHE DIDN'T KNOW I asked her what SX she had and all she would tell me is none that were from MS. I asked her if she was still seeing the same Dr about her SX and she said no because this was before she moved (I don't know what time she means, she had moved 3 times since I left home). I told her if a Dr told her she has or even might have MS she needs to see a Dr about it. I just got an ear full of on how she doesn't have MS.

BTW, I live in TX and she lives in FL so I can't just go over to her house and make her go to the Dr. Not that I am worried about her seeing a Dr., she's 59 and is able to drive her self to the Dr and tell him whats going on. I just can't believe she didn't tell me this back when it happened.
