Well, neuro office called. She wants me to go to a dermatologist and be checked for any suspicious moles. If nothing suspicious she feels I can go on Tysabri.

Tomorrow I go to my PCP for a consult on bloodwork I had done, cholesterol and glucose. So, looks like I'll be adding one more med to my way too many now.

I don't know if I can get past the scare of the melanoma even if they decide it will be somewhat safe. When I had melanoma diagnosed it was a terrible, terrible time in my life. It's an awful feeling to know you have a cancer that can travel and has very few options for a cure.

I don't know if I can face that once again. But I don't want to face progression of my MS either.

They can't get another DMD on the market soon enough for me!

Thanks for listening. I want a quiet, stressless, healthy life! Grrr....

Sassy

Sassy I will be thinking about you today and saying a prayer that your doc will give you good news. Please keep us posted.

Sassy good luck today. You will get some relief soon! Good things always come to those who wait!

Well, today's appt went great. Cholesterol and glucose both at good levels. I was a little freaked that she needed to see me but I forgot she just likes to talk about good things once in awhile.

She gave me a referral to a dermatologist, my insurance requires that. I have an appointment with him for next Thursday.

Thanks all for your well wishes, hugs and prayers.

I'm so sorry that Copaxone is not working for you..

I understand your fears in taking a chance with Tysabri and wish you well with your derma outcome and decision..

I'm sorry to hear about your problem with Copaxone Sassy! Darn it anyway!

If you decide on an interferon, you'll probably for sure need to take an antidepressant if you don't already. I didn't start on one until I started taking Rebif but I should have taken one sooner I think.

I felt better on Avonex than I did on Rebif myself. When I switched to the higher dose of Rebif my depression got a lot worse.

Good luck with whatever choose!
