Dennis,
You must be exhausted but feeling like it was worth your energy, it does sound like it all went well :-)
DX of MS instead of demylating disease its hard to take it away once its on those VA forms, right? I'd take that as your demylating disease is now identified as MS.
HUGS........JJ
What a great report to bring Dennis. I'm so happy to hear a vet was treated right, especially when that vet is YOU. It's the best when a visit gives hope for improvement instead of simply increasing frustration.
How long before your brace is ready? Those brace and orthotic guys are gems. I bet they nail what you need with little more than minor adjustments necessary.
I bet those concrete steps with moving water all around are hard images for your eyes and brain to coordinate. Maybe a proprioception thing? You might do better crossing if you do one or two steps at a time, stop, look up and away for a minute, do another step or two, repeat until across. We don't need you doing any underwater SEAL maneuvers!
This is so how it should be.

Dennis,
Treated as you should have been all along! Super happy to read through this this a.m.

it's about time.............
Hope things stay that positive for your sake.

The VA now has East Coast and West Coast Centeres of excellence for MS diagnostics and care. They have put new rules into effect across the whole VA system on dealing with MS patients. I only know this because I received notification from the VA.
Not that I have any issues with the VA (I appreciate my monthly check,) but I'll stick with Cigna.

It is nice to read someone who has a good experience with their visits. It is encouraging to hear. Glad it was a positive day for you and you got some help. Sorry about the new vertigo. I sympathize with you.
