My goal is looking more and more insurmountable...  I had to finally cry "uncle" and pass the charts on to the lady who recently started doing my Friday transcription so that I could have more time...

I am in the middle of a terrible flare.  It started about two or three weeks ago.  I literaly feel like I was beat up (I told my ex that I feel like I was attacked by a mob of angry elves). ...

Well, I started the Copaxone on Friday.  Can I just say....ouch!  My friend has given me four shots, but I did have to do one by myself.  I am supposed to get the autoject tomorrow.  I hope it...

Hello all.  I called the specialist I recently saw and asked them to fax their findings to me.  My local neuro was very vague about what was in the report.  In the report it states, "She has at...

Ok, so my neuro reluctantly gave me the diagnosis so I could start treatment.  He is seriously baffled.  He really, really wants a cut-and-dried test that will prove MS beyond a shadow of a...

One more day.  I see my neuro tomorrow at 10 a.m.  I think if he tells me I need more tests, I will politely decline and request that he release me to a different neuro (the one I saw at OHSU said...

Well, it looks like my neuro isn't done with me yet.  Now he has ordered a deprived sleep study test.  ARGH!     He says he is very sure, based on my symptoms and past medical history, that I...

I had my follow-up MRI last Friday and got the report back yesterday.  It says, "IMPRESSION: Findings consistent with a demyelating disease.  The most impressive lesions is in the right pons."  In...

Went to OHSU yesterday.  The specialist agrees with my neuro.  She said she is sure it is MS, but before she can give a definitive diagnosis, she wants a comparison MRI of the brain that shows a...

I haven't written lately because my hands aren't working right, and I need to try to preserve what I can for my job.  I have a question for those who have experience with this, though.  Does the...

Hi all.  I have been taking a hiatus.  The medical issues have been all-consuming, and I needed to step back from them (as best I could under the circumstances) and try to focus on other aspects...

Sorry I haven't been here lately.  Started back to work and have been BUSY!  I am exhausted beyond belief!  My neuro is sending me for an evoked potential test at Sacred Heart on Tuesday.  I also...

Lumbar was negative.  Neuro still thinks I have MS.  He wants to send me to a larger nearby city for some vision and hearing tests.  I told his nurse I would only agree to this if he would also...

Surgery went well.  Home now.  Just wanted to update my smilie face because I feel better now that it is all over.  I will update more later.  Thank you so much for your prayers and well...

Had the tap yesterday.  It wasn't horrible, but I hope to not have to do it again.  They moved my surgery up to tomorrow morning.  I will be out of commission for a while.  I will continue to...
