Yay for you LeeAnn!!! So glad you found some relief. Sounds like your old neuro is a better fit, too.



Uh, DM, I think you're thinking of NEMO, not NMO!

He is. I just needed to figure that out the hard way :rolleyes: :D

glad the meds are helping snoopy,

ok ladies may i ask a personal question, snoopy mentioned hormonal changes, my question is does the monthly visit affect your MS, if so i am sorry about that, and sorry if this is none of my beewaxs, its just something i had not thought of till she typed that.

Thanks, Frank :)

Frank, You could start a thread and ask your question but the female population may or may not answer ;)

I have known for quite sometime that hormonal changes affect MS but it's always nice to get confirmation from your neuro.

The topic of hormonal changes and MS symptoms come up quite a bit on MS forums but since your a guy you probably don't pay attention to those threads :D

If your interested here is some information on this topic from the National MS society:

Snoop, I hope the T is what finally gets you some relief.

Pain can be so debilitating.

Thanks, Brenda.

You are so right about pain - it can be debilitating and just plain exhausting. And, like many of us, I don't have time for pain to interfere with my days :rolleyes:

Glad to hear that you are back to a doc you like LA!

I hope the increase in the Trileptal helps! It's got to suck being in pain all the time :mad: Fortunately, I haven't had to deal with that as a part of my MS ( yet?)

As our Doctor Mary said so succinctly: Better living through chemistry!

That is great news Snoopy!!! :) :hug: :hug: :hug: I remember when I had migraines for so many years, and nothing would touch the pain for me. I was thrilled when Topamax finally helped. I'm off of it now, but at least I know I have something if pain starts to be more of a problem for me again.

I hope it continues to help you for as long as you need it.

RW,

I remember when Mary used to say that. ;) I totally agree!
