Dr. appt update! Mood
Friday, November 6, 2009 | A General Update story
   After a 2 1/2 hr ait to see DR, I finally got in to see him! Got new med to try to relax muscles in my legs! SOMA!  Continue migraine meds! I got results of MRI, 5 new lesions in just over a year! He was quite in awe of that since last MRI was just over a yr ago! One lesion active! He was just appalled that it took so long for dx and no one can deny dx now he says! So he is starting me on Avonex and I go back in 5wks! If no remission then solumedrol and possibly switch or add something! So it was worth the wait to hope for some relief! I also got FMLA papers filled out for work so I can't get fired for missing! Yea! But that is the general update! Gonna go try out this soma and hope my legs relax so I can sleep tonight! Hope all is well! Kisses and hugs! Sherry

    Sending you tons and tons of positive energy darling that all the new meds FINALLY GIVE YOU SOME RELIEF!!! Such a long long wait for you to finally get some answers... You know, it's not totally uncommon but more unlikely now with the MRI technology where it is today... Took them 7 years to dx me, but that was when MRIs were NEW and my insurance would not pay for one unless it was an emergency (which it finally became...).

    Glad you've got work straightened around as well--I know that is so important! Love you darling, and have a great weekend!!! xoxoxo Cj

    hi sherry,
    just finally getting dxed takes a load off your mind.not that it's nice,but your brain isn't working
    overtime with all sort's of thing's.
    i started to read your other journal about baclofen
    and had to get off before i could answer you.i'm also
    alergic to it.i found out by luck that valium help's
    me a great deal.it also calm's down the anxiety too.
    so for me it kill's two bird's with one soul.
    lot's of luck with avonex too.it should slow thing's down some.i'll keep checking on you.sorry it's been so long in getting back to you.
    have a good rest of the week,along
    with a little brain rest.
    hug's,dianey
