Thanks Beauty. You are right about "borrowing trouble." I am swearing off of MS research readings for awhile. No worries about asking your doc. the questions. You had plenty on your mind!!

I am too much of an advocate -- I think I drove some of the doctors crazy. The college I teach at is part of a system with a medical school. So I have online access to thousands of medical journal articles through my library. I went on an MS research binge right after the diagnosis and practically made myself an obsessive compulsive. I knew so much that I think the most recent neuro was rather surprised -- but thought it was cool that I could have a more detailed conversation about treatment, symptoms etc. But I am at a point in my life where maybe I don't need any more info....I just need to stop worrying and take it day by day.

I am like that right now. I have read 4 books, and have about 5 more to read. I have a notebook full of questions for the Specialist, and have faxed him all my info so we can spend QUALITY time instead of him reviewing the info while I am there...LOL

But, then we reach a point where we can't answer our own questions, and research tuns scarey. Sounds like that is where you are!! Hope you get all the answers you need, and it isn't as bad as you think.
