Hi all, I went to see my Neurologist, who basically stated, keep doing what we are doing.
I have an MRI (w/ & w/o contrast) on Thursday, October 25th.
This will be my 1st MRI, in 3 years, since I was Dx'd in December 2009, and I practically
had to "beg him" to schedule it. After all, the last one told us, that I had 22+ lesions, on
my brain, but also a "walnut-sized" growth, in the center of my brain, which back then
he stated, "was nothing to be concerned about".
For me, "colder weather" brings on different MS symptoms, so no escape for me, with
the temperature dropping (and I'm sure for most of you too, I know I'm not alone).
Since about the end of July, I have had abdominal pain, but have done a few tests
(blood work, EGD, CT Scan) the results came back normal, so nothing that explains
why I'm having it.
I have two types of pain, one that's a constant, and the other, what I term,
"Voodoo Doll", i.e. sharp pain, as though stabbed w/ something.
The areas that seem to be affected (but not limited to) are just below the sternum,
and just below the rib-cage, on both sides, also, the lower abdomen.
Unfortunately, since they cannot find a "cause", by PCP simply diagnosed Pain Rx.
In my opinion, I think my PCP, believes I'm just a hypochondriac
But I have been assured, this has nothing to do with my heart.
Intercostal spasms, MS Hug, and the "Voodoo Doll", seem to be the most
likely suspects.
I pray everyone has a good week, take care and may God bless, you & yours.
Sincerely,
