GETTING AN APPOINTMENT TO THE MELLON MS CLINIC,MAYBE THEY CAN STRAIGHTEN OUT MY EYES,FULL BLOWN OPTICAL NEURITIS AGAIN.GUESS I NEED TO CALL MY NEURO.

DR.K ASK ME IF I WANTED A REPORT SENT TO MY NEURO AND I SAID NO,IF HE FOUND OUT I WENT TO SEE DR.K HE'LL GET AN ATTITUDE.

IT WAS A FOLLOW-UP APPOINTMENT AND SHE WASN'T HAPPY WITH THE DECLINE.I LIKE HER HONESTY.SHE WANTED ANOTHER LP AND I DECLINED.NOT RIGHT NOW.I'LL DO THE T-3 AND T-5 MRI'S BUT NO LP!

HOPE YOU ARE FEELING BETTER

OHIO WAS ALL OVER OUR NEWS HERE TODAY - YOU REALLY DID GET SOCKED. WE GOT CAUGHT IN A LONG BOUT OF SLEET WHEN WE TRIED TO SNEAK OUT TO DO OUR SHOPPING BEFORE THE SNOW THEY CALLED FOR TODAY HIT. WE GOT LOTS OF SLEET, THEN SNOW - THAT'LL TEACH ME TO TAUNT THE METEOROLIGISTS, LOL! WE USUSALLY GET A HUGE SNOWSTORM LIKE YOURS BEFORE SPRING TOO.

STAY WARM - I SURE HOPE YOU WERE NOT DOING THE SHOVELING!!!

WE HAD 15 INCHES OF SNOW,DARN METEOROLOGIST WAS RIGHT FOR A CHANGE.

I CHOSE NOT TO TELL MY NEURO AS HE HAS AN EGO PROBLEM AND I'M TIRED OF HIM SAYING EVERYTHING IS STABLE AND I KNOW THE PROGRESSION FROM THE LAST ATTACK HAS NEVER SUBSIDED,PLUS THE RIGHT HAND HAS BEEN EFFECTED,I DROP EVERTHING AND THE REOCCURRING ON HAS ME WORRIED,I KNOW HAVE FACIAL NERVE PAIN,BUT IN HIS EYES I'M STABLE.

THE MS MELLON INSTITUTE MAY HAVE BETTER ANWERS AND MAYBE NOT.

I'M DEALING WITH THE MS AND THE ADHEARD LUMBAR ARACHNOIDITIS,2 INCURABLE DISEASES,CNS AND THE NERVES OUTSIDE OF THE CNS.

ON CAN HEAL ITSELF,BUT STEROIDS REDUCES THE INFLAMATION.BUT YOU GP SHOULD ADDRESS IT.

I'M DOING OKAY,EYES ARE SORE,LEGS ARE WONKY,BUT ALL WILL PASS.

THE CONTRACTORS ARE WORKING HARD,IN A WEEK THEY HAVE 90 % OF THE DOWN STAIRS DOWN TO THE STUDS.

GONNA PICK OUT SIDING AND ROOFING SHINGLES MONDAY.HOPE MY VISUAL CLARITY IS BETTER.

MISS MY DOGS,THEY ARE AT THE HOUSE,LARGE FENCED IN YARD AND THEY HAVE ACCESS TO THE GARAGE,WITH A BED MATRESS AND BED BLANKIES.

THEY HAVE ADJUSTED BETTER THAN ME I THINK.

I HATE THE OVER EXHAUSTION,THEN WE CAN'T SLEEP.THE SPASMS DON'T HELP.

BEEN A LONG DAY OF SHOVELING,MAYBE I'LL SLEEP GOOD TONIGHT.

YEAH, I'M STILL UP TOO. I AM SO EXHAUSTED THAT I LTERALLY CRASHED AND BURNED AT WORK YESTERDAY. I AM DOWN 2 STAFF RIGHT NOW, SO AM GOING INTO WORK EARLY, STAYING LATE, TAKING MY LAPTOP HOME AND WORKING ALL NIGHT AT HOME, WEEKENDS TOO. MY FATIGUE IS SO BAD TO BEGIN WITH THAT THIS IS REALLY KILLING ME. I HIT A "BRICK WALL" AROUND 3 YESTERDAY AND JUST COULD NOT MOVE ANYMORE. LEGS WOULDN;T LET ME OFF THE FLOOR. SO WOULDN'T YO UFIGURE I'D BE SOUND ASLEEP RIGHT NOW? BAD SPASMS TONIGHT. THOUGHT THEY WERE CALMING DOWN.

IT'S FUNNY - NO ONE SEEMS INTERESTED IN TREATING MY RECENTLY Dx'D O.N. THE EYE SPEC SENT THE REPORT TO MY PCP, WHO I DO NOT BELIEVE EVEN READ IT. I CALLED RE IT AND THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO KNOW ANYTHING HAD BEEN SENT. I GIVE UP ON PGH DOCS. NOT WORTH FIGHTING ABOUT IT.  DON'T WORRY THAT'S JUST MY EXHAUSTION TALKING. I'LL GET FIESTY AGAIN IF I EVER GET SOME SLEEP.

I THINK WE'RE ONLY GETTING 1-3 INCHES ON MY SIDE OF THE 'BURGH.

WHAT DOES YOUR NEURO HAVE AGAINST FOLLOWING UP W/ DR K? IS HE A DIVA? LOL. I DON'T BLAME YOU FOR DECLINING AN LP - YUK!

HOW ARE YOU FEELING THOUGH? HOW'S THE HOUSE RECONSTRUCTION COMING ALONG? TOO COLD AND SNOWY, HUH? HOW ARE THE DOGS? MINE'S SNORING AT MY FEET.
