I'm sorry to hear you're down in the dumps, and I understand why feel that way. I wish I could say something wonderful but as I don't know the right words, I'll have to be content with sending you lots of hugs.

Beth, I am sorry you feel so down. I remember sitting in the neuro's office and waiting for the "big catch phrase of the day" with Jim. It was never the same and included a change of meds each time.

Then one day it stopped. It was never worse, nor better. It was what it was. We still haven't decided if that is a good thing or not.

I only have cream cheese. Will that do?

Well Beth dear... I love cheese, so I have several kinds to choose from and a bottle of Toad Hollow wine from a board bud. I'll share!

I know how disappointing Dr visits can be~ They make us feel and see
the truth. Seems like every time I go to the Dr lately, I get smacked too. And, yes~ it frustrates me to no end.. So, you just come here and vent all you want. That's why wer'e all here~ for each other.

I hope tomorrow is a better day for you.

Hi Beth, I think this is the piece of cheese that goes
best with your Whine.....

How long have you been dx and been on Copaxone? Have you had a recent MRI?

I wonder why he isn't looking at other options for you.

Cherie

I think thats why I hate going to the doctor. I usually feel worse (emotionally) when I leave. I hope you get all cheered up soon

Beth, I'm so sorry you're feeling carpy. I got a big old neuro reality smack too a few weeks ago. It really does suck but I'm feeling better about it now. All I have is velveeta shells and cheese and cheap bottle of white zinfandel to go with your whine . You better go to DM's, it seems like she has the best selection ! I'm sure you'll be back to your cheer self soon!

I love cheap wine so I am in good company LOL

I have had a recent MRI right after stopping avonex and going on copaxone. I did have 5 more lesions in my brain.

I've been on copaxone for almost 8 or 9 months and I will be repeating MRI's soon.

I've only been dx'd since Oct 05 and my specialist is constantly checking into other options for me.

He wants me on Ty but I am not comfortable with Ty at this time. Thanks for all the replys

Going to the Neuro IS a reality check!

I only go twice a year now but I never hear the words "you are doing much better" or anything positive.

Just the same old..... well; see you in 6 months.

I know how you feel Beth so I am sending you a special hugs bracelet to wear. It's all yours.

We all have our reality checks and I am about to have mine on Tuesday with the clinical trial doc. It's the last appt in the trial. I guess that's the good news or maybe not. I am not sure...it's the end of the this phase and hopefully the good news is that I get to continue with the next phase!

I am also sad to hear that you are not doing so well. I hate to hear that about one of our own. That just sucks. I am glad that DM is willing to share her TH wine with you...that's something special in and of itself! I'd take her up on that one!

Cheese? Well, I got plenty of cheese. In fact, I am headed over to Portland tomorrow and can swing by the Tillamook Cheese factory for you and pick up whatever you want...they make some pretty darn good cheese.

Chin up there Bethie...you are in some pretty good company here. I hope you feel better soon...you know it's almost spring.
