Had appointment with sleep doctor today. He said he wants me to get a sleep study. I have been waking up gasping. I have an appointment next week with the ms specialist so hopefully it will show something related to my neurological issues.
For Somme reason, today i hit the wall. Legs were much worse than the last couple of days. I was so exhausted after this appt I went home and slept for a few hours. Calves are cramping more. I am hoping i am not "flaring" up again. it got pretty hot in ct today. Maybe that has something to do with it.
I am a little apprehensive about the ms specialist appt next week. I have my timeline, my MRI discs, blood work, etc. I always seem to freeze up when the doctor says, what brought you in today. I think i am just going to say, well doc, three months ago I was able to do a jig with my first graders and now i can barely walk without using a cane.
I figure that paints a good enough picture for the doc along with the testing. I am just so afraid he is going to say he doesn't know. What would i do after that. I had such a hard time finding him, i don't know what i wou ld do.
I guess i shouldn't worry until there is a reason to.
Well that's it for now. Legs are hurting more than usual. Don't Know why. I said that already.
I am also finding that i am embarrassed walking funny and people looking at me like i am an old lady. I am only 40.
Every medical person i know says I am presenting like it is ms but the neuro has to diagnose.
I brought my MRI's to my friend who is a neuro RN. She said she can read them and tell me what she "sees" but to remember she is not a doc. I am finding that most medical people says what they think but no one will make the diagnosis.
Just whining.
