This doc was great. He listened, was very personable, had a sense of humor, explained things well, and felt that without a doubt it was MS. So I have my dx back. (and he laughed when I told him at the end of the visit that I was afraid that I was going to go down there and end up with him telling me I had a hang nail)
I'm diseased officially (again)!!!!! (hmm.... maybe the excited people emoticons are kind of strange considering what I'm happy about) OH..... and I can sign up for a clinical trial with oral medication Fingolimod (FTY720)! http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/N...US%3APA&rank=4 http://www.msclinicaltrials.com/index.html I'm going to talk to the study coordinator. I'd been on Copaxone since 2005 when I got my dx from my second neuro (Dr. Flip Flop's partner). But the chance to try an oral medication, even knowing that it could turn out to be a placebo, is worth a shot (pun intended) as an alternative to daily injections which I hate. Off to see about getting a "baseline" MRI done for him.
