So sorry,Sarah to hear you still have no answers. I remember the frustration of being in limbo, although my limbo was not as long as your's has been. I admire your strength and tenacity. Hang in there and know you're in my prayers.

Sarah, hugs to you!

I'm with you in spirit, girlfriend. Take care of you. I know how stinkin tough this has been.

I'd be frustrated, too, if I had all my sx to deal with and no answer as to what was causing them. Will they now do the LP, then?

Enjoy your time with your family. Sometimes a change of scenery does wonders for your mood. I hope the doctor's appt. in April reveals some answers for you. Taking care of five children and working full time is enough without the added stress of an unknown condition. Take some time out for you!

Sarah, I can certainly understand your frustration with all of this!

Enjoy your kids. Maybe the simple pleasure of reading to them will make you feel better.

Hang in there, and come back to us!

thanks all,
Kitty, at the apt maybe I will find out more and LP idea. He had said if a change in MRI he will order LP..so not sure he plans to since normal. we will see..

thanks again, sarah

Hey Sarah! I could not imagine working full time w/children, so understand your need to take a break to spend time with them, as they are only little once. I miss those days of sitting in the rocker reading to them or watching a kid's movie together.

I guess I'm looking at it as ''You are so lucky that the Dr didn't find anything seriously wrong, esp MS". It can be such a devastating disease, I'm glad it hasn't claimed you.

Maybe by taking a break, it will give you time for yourself too, away from thinking about MS or anything else. Take more bubble baths, paint your toenails and just relax on your off time a little more. Your'e a very busy Mom and that's such an important job.

Take care and take time for YOU and your family.

Also, keeping your Dad in my prayers still and hope his treatment is going ok.

thanks DM and all,
I am venting, I guess the idea is for me, that yes cool I have a clear MRI..but not cool that I can not take a very hot bubble bath due to sxs from the heat, I keep hurting body due to balance issues, I struggle many days just to get thru... losing my positive spirited self...

anyhow thanks all, I am waiting till visit with neuro, as I think he wanted to still compare and see the MRI himself, compared to older ones, which are probably clear..then he was talking LP not sure though. Either way my focus is sx relief, and him continuing to look into what is causing all this...as it is bringing my life down.

ok, back to the babies, hugss and thanks all, sarah
