New Neuro Appt tomorrow!!!
 

I'm so excited I cannot sleep. or maybe it is the fact that aside from my hour and a half nap earlier i have been up since 7 AM yesterday morning. I dunno i do know I am looking forward to hopefully finding some answers. And hopefully something to ease the crazy numbness and the ON issues. I will let everyone know how it goes.

Update!
 

Just left Dr. Appt.

I really like the new neuro...even if she is 12. Yes, she is very young...but maybe that is a good thing.

She has decided that my sx's seem to indicate that this disease may be progressing. (yup, she used the p word) but it is not a definite as of yet. I get to look forward to another 5 days of the IVSM this time hopefully from home. Waiting to see if insurance co will pay for it since last time I was so sick by day 3 I had to have someone drive me to the hospital and back.

If that doesn't work she said we can try IG? I have no idea what this is but she says it is stronger than the IVSM.

And I get to go in next week for another set of MRI's to see if there are more lesions and how much any of them have grown.

So that is that i wait now for them to call me back about the steroids.

So glad to hear that your appt went pretty well, Legz - I'm so sorry that the Neuro feels that your MS is progressing though!!:hug:

It really sounds as though this Neuro is a Keeper and actually wants to do something to try and help you and relieve your symptoms!

I really hope that the IVSM helps you and that you don't have any nasty side effects like last time!:hug:

I'm thinking about you and please keep us all updated when you are able to!!

best to you legz,

i hope the tx helps and i'm glad you like your new dr.

Finding a neuro that your'e compatible with is such a plus, Legz! Good luck w/taming the beast and feeling better. Take care.

I think the younger doctors are the best. Not only are they fresh from the latest teachings at med school, they haven't yet had time to get jaded.

I think the younger ones tend to look at patients with much more interest, attention, and thoroughness than the older docs who know EVER-Y-THING about you before you open your mouth. When you're having trouble learning what's wrong with you, your best partner is a doctor who's also still devoted to learning.

Yay for young doctors, I say!!

YMMV.
