Officially joining "Limbo Land"!

[GracieBee]

I had been trying to convince myself that the 2nd MRI I had on Tuesday would bring about a true diagnosis, but alas, I'll have to wait! My MRI remained unchanged from before. On my MRI the impression once again states "white matter lesions consistent with multiple sclerosis" and my neuro is having me come in in January for the next follow-up visit. Nevertheless, each day I feel like I have some type of irritating symptom(s). It's more or less the degree to which it affects me that changes. I am seriously relating to all of you in the limbo position. Ugh!
I'm thankful that I've not been affected too much physically, but it's so hard explaining to people why you can't get out the right words, or why you just need to go home and sleep in the middle of the day or why you're running to the bathroom as fast as possible several times a day! I think, for me, that that is part of the benefit of a diagnosis. It sounds better to say "I have MS" over "I have a sick brain".
Happy weekend to everyone!!

Hi, I am wondering to which you think another opinion would be appropriate, relating directly to the 2nd MRI or relating to the neuro and his current opinion?
Thanks! Linda

Personally?  I would be seeking another opinion.

So sorry you remain in Limbo - it can't be a happy place to reside.

You're so right, it is a better explanation to say "it's my MS," rather than I don't know why I (fill inthe blank).

The weekend already?  Where does the time fly?

best,
Lulu
