Default Hello from the Outer Banks of NC

Not sure exactly what to say.

I am 42 and a single mom of 3 boys and one girl.

I have Primary Progressive MS, Arthritis in my back, along with other things that I am still waiting to hear about in my spinal region. I also suffer from Fibromyalgia.

I am in between pain doctors right now, only because I am trying to find out which one knows whats what and are they going to help or blow me off lol.
I will choose after my appt tomorrow, they both have recent MRI's and Xrays. I refuse to accept any type of narcotic pain med's until I decide which one, and then only as a back up.

Long history of believing i had a good doctor only to find out different, right now my trust level is low.

That's about what's going on right now.

So far none of the MS Medications have worked for me, the last one I had a really bad reaction to so what little hope I had for it helping at some point was short lived.

Oh I love animals, I have a huge Siberian Husky Malamute mix (adopted from ASPCA)..He's such a big spoiled baby lol. 4 cats (all rescued) all spoiled (hey the kids spoil them more lol), 1 Ferret, and a Guinea Pig.

I can't wait for cooler weather so I can get outside more.

Time to get my daughter in bed. Hope to chat with you soon.

Take care and stay safe everyone!
