Thanks everyone.
DH is going with me, which makes this even more painful. He's so hard to wake up sometimes, LOL I'm glad to know it's not too unusual for a consult. I'm hoping that whatever happens, it will turn out ok. Now to bed with me.

UPDATE:
I've got some good news. The Neuro thinks I'm still RRMS (could tell he didn't like this term because he used "air quotes" with his fingers). He thinks the copax is working for me thus far. He said it's not unusual to have a flare or two when starting out since it's not totally in the system yet. He did go over the pros and cons of Ty. He said I didn't need to go that way right now, but he suggested it as the next option if the copax stops working. He did take some blood to rule out anything else that might be causing my fatigue. He also did an ultrasound of my bladder. Yep, I'm retaining - which is causing some of my problems. It's not to a major point yet, so he's confident that we can wait a little while as long as it's not interfering with my life yet. Also he prescribed zoloft to see if some of my fatigue is caused by my small funk of mild depression, and he didn't want to have more than one new med in the mix. There were some things he asked and talked about that made me realize why he's the top guy in the office. He also thought my regular neuro was a nut for calling my LP "inconclusive". From what he saw, it was positive for MS. So the consult was worth it. Things are looking up. Thanks all for listening.

Hi Finlady,
That sounds like a pretty successful visit to me. He seems like he's very attuned to what your specific concerns are. That's really what we all want, isn't it? I'd say he was worth getting up early for. I hope Copaxone continues working for you, and that the new med helps with symptoms. Oh, and I love your avatar: it's like we can see you right at the moment typing away........ |
