Default Second appointment with MS doctor

I went to my MS doc yesterday. She didn't offer to take her dignosis back so I guess I have to keep it.

We talked about my medications and how they are working. So far everything looks good. She added medication to help me with my lack of energy. I could sleep all day and was glad to hear there is a medication I might be able to tolerate.

She checked my reflexes and asked if I thought my leg was getting worse. Some days I think it is getting worse buy on other days I am not sure.

I have clonus in my right leg. Getting my reflex tested in that leg is very uncomfortable. Last time my left leg was over reactive but this time it hardly responded.

As the weather gets warmer I am starting to feel more sluggish. I LOVE the warm humid air but it really takes a lot out of me.

My eye is getting better! YEAH! I can live with a goofy leg, but I would rather have both eyes working.

I go back in 3 months. She told me I am lucky we caught this early. My MRI's look good. My brain MRI was not normal, but the others are.

Any doubt that I had is gone. I have MS and that is that for now. At least I have a good chance of staying reasonably active.

I saw two people come in the office in wheel chairs. I know they had Ms because it is an MS center. I do NOT want to be them.

We took all of the kids with us and made it a short vacation since it is a 3 hour drive one way. We stayed in a motel with a pool. The kids swam and LOVED it!

We went to the zoo and really enjoyed it. It was about 59 and breezy. There were a lot of places to rest and it is a small zoo, so I had a good time too. There were bath rooms around every corner and that was a good thing too!

This morning we woke up to leave and found the window in the van had been broken out. Stupid me left my purse in the van last night. I TOTALLY forgot about it because I was so tired.

What a mess. We spent 3 hours on the phone and with the police before we could head home. The only smart thing I have done recently was taking all of our SS cards and credit cards out of my purse.

My 22 year old daughter was robbed at gun point in Novemeber and we learned what NOT to carry with you. So I only had one credit card and a debit card. However I did have two check books.

So it has been easy enough to cancel the things that were taken. The sad thing is the fool took a 75.00 purse and 25.00 wallet my sister got me for Christmas!!!!!!!!! That makes me very upset.

But, my doctor appointment did go well and we did have a great time before we woke up this morning.
