Hey guys, thanks for being so tolerant of my rants of late. I'm experiencing something completely new to me and I'm not quite sure what to make of it. Any of you guys who have been kind enough to respond already know that I have SUCH a LOSER for a MS specialist at my neuro's ofc., it would be futile to even approach her with my sx's. Of course, the seven times I've tried to contact her have gone unresponded to except to tell me to go to my PCP. But YOU GUYS, are the Holy Grail of MS knowledge, so here goes! I,for the last week and a half have been experiencing the most relentless and on going thoughts of "worst case scenarios" about my job mainly, I also KNOW that this anxiety is something physical, because I NORMALLY don't have these kind of thought processes. Has anyone else out there had this kind of insane unexplainable anxiety? What did you do for it. I took some "old" Xanax I had lying around and I felt incredible afterwards, but when it wore off, here comes the stress and the anxiety. Insult to injury, this silly "professional" keeps referring me to my PCP....the stupid cow! The PCP refers me to the neuro's office. Short of going postal I'm at a loss. Whadaya think? I will say this much, when I'm able to get a hold of things I intend to send a very strongly worded letter to the Board that issued this dingbat's certification. Clearly, any fool can throw a bunch of letters behind their name and call themselves a professional. Talking helps though, thanks!

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
Talked to my doc. He sent me to be evaluated for depression, possible anti-depf scrip. End result, went to the evaluation, doc & me decided to take a "wait and see" approach. Come back in 90 days or call if it gets bad.
Odd thing is, I feel better just having gone to discuss it, so perhaps that might be a good thing for you to do.
I definitely had depression with Avonex, and I don't know if it was because of the drug or the act of taking it....I would get more and more freaked out the sooner shot day came, and once it came...I'd sit there holding a needle and just bawling...totally freaking out because i was never able to get decent shot giving training...I'm a DESIGNER not a NURSE.
I definitely recommend dropping them and finding a new one...or at least asking them to write something that says to see the other...and when you can show them each that note then they will need to call each other.
Ask each of them..."So, what should I do if they tell me to call you? Just keep going back and forth?"
Good luck with this...it is not fun dealing with doctors and their tunnel vision.
But it has passed for me 3 months on the rebif at 100% 44mcg.
I hope this helped
