For everyone who has appointments and such today, Good Luck!

Fin - let me know what you think of the testing. I go to the urologist for the 1st time next week and bladder testing to follow after that.

~~~~
Not sure what I am doing today. Depends on the MS vise grip (I don't call it the MS hug because it is not a warm fuzzy kind of thing). Hopefully the neuro will give me a call early this morning. Left a message on the secretary's voice mail yesterday.:eek:

"Tragedy" at my house this morning. DD16 spilled make up on her pants. LOL. I think she was a little over tired this morning and reacted in a very emotional way. "Nothing is going right (tears). My day is starting out bad and . . . " Then she almost missed the bus. She did call me when she got to school to apologize for behaving like a "little brat." Oh, the trauma's of being a teen.:D

back from nero the neuro, first and foremost he says he did not burn down rome it was some irish woman's cow. ok second have ya ever heard of

great occiptital nerve injections

joy joy me neither

they are gonna give me one of these to help the headache issue and help the occipital neuralgia,

oh yeah and am on medro steroids yet again he like me is pretty sure i am having an exesberation or how ever u spell that dang word why cant they call it something simple like episode,

i think it was me not feeling the pins in my face or arms or legs or feet or my slurred speech and slouch facial features perhaps it was my 2. 5 inch gait

either way i gots darvocets for pain and steroids for life :eek:

i am home deb and i went to pharmacy where upon, i as usual, struck up a conversation with someone about life for 40 mints, lol ,god that annoys her so much(shes jealous, im a people magnet) and no it wasnt in the bathroom anywho i am home safe sound as soon as they can squeeze me in for this injection i get it done.

it maybe a week though, that isnt good cause the vise grip squeezing my head named chucky is getting beyond annoying

at least now i know where the title for the tv show "just shoot me " came from

Heard from my doctor's nurse a little while ago and all of my tests were normal:D So my ty infusion for tomorow is still on. I can't believe how quickly they got the results.

good news on your results and i am not familar with this med so i assume these results were needed so you could continue and or start this med? where abouts are u in ill of noise barb I am in streamwood near elgin

I'm home early from work. I'm a little sore. Not sure if it was from the test or the scope at the doc's after - but am leaning towards the scope.

On the plus side, yep - it's just this MS causing my issues. Leisons in the right location and everything else appears to be physically fine. He prescribed me flomax and is more than willing to fight my insurance company if they give me any issues with it.

Barb, Glad to hear about the results. :)

TK, the test pretty much went the way people were describing on your other thread. I had a good tech who put me at ease and it helped a lot! Relaxing really does help, and so did the info from your thread. Thanks so much for starting that one. :hug: If bladder is not used to being empty anymore, there are some mild cramps at the end of the test that only last for a little while.

Frank, I really hope those injections help you. I've never heard of those either. :hug:

fin thanks

I know what you are going through have not returned because i am tired of the process and yes the scope can do that and or camera my bladder has reduced it size by a third, also due to the MS, so when i do the pee pee dance i do it 33 percent sooner than normal::::Grins::::::::

generally when a doc stands up to the ins comps they dont give ya too much trouble, good luck on that and hope it works out well

Glad to hear everyones testing went well! Well except for you Frank, but maybe the injections will cause Chucky to die a quick death! Sandy I got your PM I tried calling u earlier not sure which line I called though!

Court today- I had been warned this judge is a former marine, very short and gets right to the point,but has also yelled at people and been an overall jerk....Thank you Jesus I musta caught him on a good day. He seemed very nice and almost made me fall out of my chair when the first thing he said was, your case was supposed to be dismissed but since I have the info and you are here I'm hearing your case anyway...appparently when I filed for an extension (and it was granted by the way) the office never sent the extension to the judge...I assured him I had in fact done this and he said he didn't care one way or the other he wasn't holding it against me and that if he were the one granting extensions he would have said I definitely qualified! My attorney presented all of our evidence and my changes in status since I filed paperwork, the judge said ok great thanks Mrs. Malouf and good luck to you! Now the waiting........why couldn't he have just isssued a bench judgement! We also asked to
amend my onset of disability to Feb 2006 and he granted that ammendment on the spot.

My attorney said this judge will often play lets make a deal saying ok I will back pay you back to such and such date but thats it....but he never even mentioned it. My attorney said he is hoping that being a military spouse would have a good results since the guy is a former marine...and he said judges tended to be nicer and give better rulings to nurses so now it some more hurry up and wait...so you all still have to keep sending up prayers and keeping those appendages crossed!

Oh and when I got home I had 10 yes I said 10 kids over here all afternoon after we got finished with testing.

Renee, glad to hear it seems like you caught the judge on a good day. That's great! fingers are still crossed for ya!

And I can't believe you had 10 kids at your house. Wow! :eek:

Frank - I hope the injections work for you. Let us know how it goes.

Barb - Congratulations!!! That is fantastic news. You must be ecstatic.

Fin - Thanks for the info. I'm not too concerned, I just never thought of it being a horrible test. I thought of it as a simple, like getting a catheter placed. Glad you had it done and all went well. Let me know how the meds work.

Renee - I will keep everything crossed for you. I hope it all works out in your favor. 10 kids in the house, heck, that was just me and my brothers and sisters on a regular basis. LOL. I have 5 brothers and 4 sisters.

Sandy? How was Jim's appointment today? I hope all went well.
