Second appointment with MS doctor
I went to my MS doc yesterday. She didn't offer to take her dignosis back so I guess I have to keep it. :(
We talked about my medications and how they are working. So far everything looks good. She added medication to help me with my lack of energy. I could sleep all day. I have nto started it yet.
She checked my reflexes and asked if I thought my leg was getting worse. Some days I think it is getting worse. As the weather gets warmer I am starting to feel more sluggish. I LOVE the warm humid air but it really takes a lot out of me.
My eye is getting better! YEAH! I can live with a goofy leg, but I would rather have both eyes working.
I go back in 3 months. She told me I am lucky we caught this early. My MRI's look good. My brain MRI was not normal, but the others are. :)
Any doubt that I had is gone. I have MS and that is that for now. At least I have a good chance of staying reasonably active.
I saw two people come in the office in wheel chairs. I know they had Ms because it is an MS center. I do NOT want to be them.
We took all of the kids with us and made it a short vacation since it is a 3 hour drive one way. We stayed in a motel with a pool. The kids swam and LOVED it! We went to the zoo and really enjoyed it. It was about 59 and breezy. There were a lot of places to rest and it is a small zoo, so I had a good time too.
This morning we woke up to leave and found the window in the van had been broken out. Stupid me left my purse in the van last night. I TOTALLY forgot about it because I was so tired.
What a mess. We spent 3 hours on the phone and with the police before we could head home. The only smart thing I have done recently was taking all of our SS cards and credit cards out of my purse.
My 22 year old daughter was robbed at gun point in Novemeber and we learned what NOT to carry with you. So I only had one credit card and a debit card. However I did have two check books.
So it has been easy enough to cancel the things that were taken. The sad thing is the fool took a 75.00 purse and 25.00 wallet my sister got me for Christmas!!!!!!!!! That makes me very upset. :(
But, my doctor appointment did get well and we did have a great time before we woke up this morning.

Thanks everyone. I think we have every thing canceled and new accounts opened.
I have decided it is much better to have a debit card and to leave the check books at home.
Debit cards can be canceled with little trouble. Checks on the other hand are a real problem. Even if a crook can not write a check they can go on line and use your routing number and checking account number to do whatever they want on the computer.
We had several automatic payments and depostis set up in both checking accounts. That was a real pain to have to change all of those preauthorized things. I will NOT carry check books with me again.
Gollie,
Let me know how things go.

Holy Cr ap !
That's just horrible about the break-in!
LATW your belief in what you have - MS - will carry you through all the bumps. I know it will. I'm so proud of you, and know first hand how those doubts get mighty hard to carry and handle.
This is a breakthrough, and I'm glad you are in good hands with the Center, and your own peace.

I'm sorry about your van and your purse! It sounds like you did the exact same thing we did at my last appointment. We went to the zoo and the mall the first day, then I saw the doctor the next. A cheap vacation for our family I guess.
It sounds like they are taking good care of you at the clinic. I hope the meds for the fatigue help you.
Take care.
