gomer mustering in
Hi gang I'm a real wet BTE newbie here,
I am GOMER a real life GOMER, which is mil-speak for for GET OUT! My Exam Room!. Now you see where the title of the TV series came from, even if done with a spin. Remember the serg told gomer to get out every episode, and where do you put what you toss out if you do not ahve a dumpster etc to put it in? You toss whatever on a pile, or in this case a PYLE...lol Officialy I am in Limbo Land, Formal Dx pending MS clinic next week, however it might not be as quick as one clinic apt. I had a MRI done in may '07, mulitple bilateral deep white matter lesions, all in areas favored by MS and have more dawson's fingers than i ahve digits on my hands. I failed eye-motor testing also done in '07. I have had problems off and on with my left leg since HS, a sudden vision episode in 10th grade adn had diplopia (double-vision) since 1964. I currently have 4 prism bases in my glasses, walk with Arizona boots AFOs and cane both since 07. I have other medical issues as well Diabetes and cancer surgery in '82. In '82 the cancer Dx was Kaposis Sarcoma and back then was considered proof of HIV, but NO RISK factors (I am normal married w/4 kids and 2 grands.) and have alwasys tested neg for HIV since the test became available. I was given the infamous "expiration date" and now survived that by over 1/4 century! I may have had MS (no formal Dx yet) since I was a kid. I had a EEG while hospitalized in 1959. I was not told anything back then, but there was nothing anyone could ahve done anyway. I got in the Navy with the help of my doc at the hospital who described me with an ability to persevere. While in the Navy I became a GOMER, even written up once under UCMJ for failure to seek medical treatment but that got short circuited when I requested my med records for the previous 10 days showing I had been GOMERed over and over. My history is long and complex..but you get the idea anyway.... More later...... GOMER Dx pending MS clinic Nov 11.:confused: |
Welcome to NeuroTalk Gomer! :) :welcome_sign:
Good luck with your November 11th appointment. I hope you'll get answers though you're right about it possibly being a prolonged process. With your medical history they might have to do a lot of ruling things out but I hope it's fairly clear cut and easy to diagnose. This is a great community with lots of awesome people. Take care and keep us posted on your testing. |
Welcome, Gomer. I'm glad you found us. :)
Sounds like you have a lot on your plate but with a great attitude. Good luck with your Nov 11th appointment.. Come on in and join us anywhere. Be sure to visit the Stumble Inn for a little levity and non-MS chatter. :hug: |
