LOL, you fit right in. I know I'm a little weird, and according to my brother- he now has the MRIs to prove it.

Hope the appointment goes well and you get some answers.

Hiya Bobcat - love the name!

Trust me you fit right in! My MRI's to prove I'm a tad weird myself, not to mention the goofy day to day MS symptoms.

Good luck with your appointment and let us know how it goes!

Of course you fit in.. ..as we all do.

I hope you get some answers soon, Rachael...

Hi Rachael.... Silly girl.... Of course you fit in here. NeuroTalk is here for you and you just jump in anywhere. Good luck at your appt...

Weird?? How about "creatively eccentric," or, maybe once in awhile, eccentrically creative, as when you did your email to the Doc. Those weren't mistakes, just expressive re-arrangements.

I'm curious how you ended up with a neuro in Augusta rather than in Atlanta, not that size of megopolis makes it better than all else, it just seems to draw more attention and comment.

I hope they can get all your tests done within a a day or two, rather than making you go back and forth repeatedly, drawing out the dx time.

You made me LoL!!!!

I like that! Expressivly creative. Yep! that about sums it up! Heeee hee!


I ended up with a neuro in Augusta b/c that is where the Ophtomologist in Milledgeville (where i was in college in 2003) and diagnosed with diploplia (doubble vision) to the tune of 15 prism diopters at the time. (he was not sure how to put that much prism into glasses so he sent me to an optho in Augusta that he consults with.

she did put me in glasses to the tune of 12 prism diopters which i remained in though my eyes got steadily worse till eye surgery in 2006.


The eye surgery (strabismus surgery specificly) corrected my vison to a point but not entirely (mainly reduced the damage to the muscles from the prisim). I still have severe (28 prism diopters worth of eye turn to this day).

9 months after major corrective strabismis (doubble vision) surgery my eyes had still not stabilized and at that time i was sent to an neuolgoist at MCG to be tested for Myasthenia Gravis.

I do not have myasthenia gravis but the sx that i was willing to talk about at the time sure sounded like it (i just with held a lot of info like about the muscle spascity b/c i though people would think i was crazy like my family seems too). so they put me on medicine for the Myasthenia for a year, with the ever increasing doseage.

I am still on that medicine b/c it seems to help with the spascity! and the ever loved cog fog (we need a foggy smiley too!)

Yeah i know that is one of the most hated things that virtually all of us have in common. but i have it too so i guess i really do fit in!

Any who that is how i ended up in Augusta. Thanks for askin'


I the MS community!

Wanted to give a shout out to everyone out there that ya'll have been the most positive and uplifting bunch of people i have ever met!!!!

You understand me and don't think I'm too weird to hang out with and you don't judge me!

I don't want to have MS, but if I do, I'm glad to be a part of this club b/c I'm around people who are like me. Want to live full life and prove to the world that just b/c you have a "disability" doesn't mean you have to be "disabled!"

Thanks for everything!

Rachael

I was thinking we all arrive pretty freaked out

Welcome Rachael

You can post here anytime. MS or no MS. You're posts are interesting, informative and entertaining too. I love how you make really small paragraphs.

As Snoopy said way back on page 1, L"Hermittes Sign is the sensation the chin to chest motion called. I hate that most of all. Thankfully it comes and goes.

Hoping yoiu get some concrete answers. You've been through alot with the double vision, geez louise. Keep us posted.
