Good luck, Char. You know, you can negotiate your fee with the doctor's office....you might have to prove you have no income but generally they will work with you.

I'm glad they wanted you to keep the appointment. Please let us know how it went.

Have you applied for unemployment yet?

So happy to hear you and your doctor have such a collaborative relationship! Good luck at the appointment and with the upcoming insurance appointment.

Just got home a few minuts ago.... I had to wait 1/2 hour - I have never had to do, he is usually right on time. Oh well!

it was actually good cause I got cold.... and those of you who know me know that cold is not good for me. The AC was freezing and by the time I got to see him my right side was a mess! He laughed and did his neuro exam before we talked. He could feel the spasms in my right arm for they were so intense at the time. He then went and got me a blanket to warm up with. After we talked and I warmed up he then felt the same spot on my arm and the spasms had calmed down.

Now, remember me telling you I lost my health insurance? Well, today he wants to talk about putting me on medication!!! I then explained to him I don't have health insurance but it should all be in place by Sept 1st. He uses Avonex (is that how you spell it??) But, said we will talk about other options when I get the health insurance.

Thanks Everyone!

yes, he does. He told me today he feels after this last flareup that he is certain.

Take care and I think I'd like your Neuro... Sounds very caring.
