Well went to Neuro appointment and no she didn't have a magic wand...lol
She ruled out post viral infection ..dang she said I should of already hit my peak and not be adding on new syptoms ...
So going back for more MRI's....I think I kind of through her for a loop I asked about going to Temple Tx and get on 3 T mri machine...she was honest and said that she did not know enough about the difference about the MRI machines...she said that she would call her radiologist friend..and get back to me
Well today they called me back and looks like I'm going to be heading to Temple for the 3T ..hopefully if all works out...
She said that 10 years ago (*plus) I would be dx with MS ...but since I have had a clear MRI that she wants to be 100 sure ...which is fine with me.....she said that my spinal fluid has O BANDS but MRI is clear and yes there are people with MS with clear MRI's ....I was surprised when she said that since from the sound of it most neuro dr don't....
She is just a frustrated as I am with not having DX for me ...she said that several times which makes me feel like she is going to stay in this for the long haul..whew...
I'm going to have a functional MRI has anyone had one of those?????
Thanks
Kelly

Loved your sense of humor with the home business, especially the lemonade and twist. Unless people have been self employed, its hard to understand what that life is truly like. I only have one child and cannot imagine doing it with your household.
I'm sending positive thoughts your way for the appointment tomorrow. As far as the prednisone is concerned, be as descriptive as you can be about your symptoms while on the medication, yet leave out emotional concerns about side effects (your Santa joke). If you have concerns about side effects that aren't rooted in emotion, I consider that appropriate to express.
With so many baby steps behind you along the way towards diagnosis, I hope the big leap comes soon.
With a twist...I love it!

Good luck tomorrow. Not knowing is terribly hard. I know I was a wreck in my two years in limbo. What you practiced with your business is Mindfullness Meditation. Reacting to the real situation. That is harder when it comes to our health.
