Journal Entry for June 4, 2008 Mood
Wednesday, June 4, 2008
Well wadya know...after 2 years of fighting with the health care system I FINALLY got a dammed diagnosis. MS....big bloody surprise! My lame neuro finally saw enough evidence to make a diagnosis, crap, a first year med student could have made that diagnosis two months ago at least. Oh well, at least now I can get concessions at work, I will be cutting my hours down right away and I have an appointment coming with an MS clinic and specialist who will hopefully give me the green light to retire on disability. I will be starting on copaxone shortly so hopefully it doesn't kick my ass too badly and I'm able to take it. My drug plan fortunately covers all but a hundred bucks of the cost per month. Sooo, I'm official, a diagnosed member of a crappy club to belong to (lol). If I sound upbeat I am, I knew I had it but just needed some dumbass doctor to confirm it and put it on paper so I could actually maybe do something about it!

    I'm glad you finally got a diagnosis, and I'd welcome you to the club, but I guess that would be a dubious honor, lol. I'm so happy for your other HAPPY situation, best of luck and lots of love to you and Robert. :-)
