Hey Sweetie, it is totally okay to have a brain fart!!!!  I think we have all done that a time or two!  I'll pull you back in to the warmth of the forum, ok?  If I could I would wrap my arms around you and hold on, but my words will have to be the caring hug I would love to give you, a cyber kiss to tell you it will be okay.  

All My Love,

Ada

Good luck and God bless on Monday. We'll all be thinking of you.

Be sure to take some time to get prepared, but get your hopes too high for an answer right away. It's slow going. Keep your attitude positive and you'll get through it.

Good Luck on your appt on Monday.............sending along prayers with you.
Just remember, you're on the road to finding a dx. I know its a long road...........but its one we have to travel unfortunately. You will do fine. Make sure to tell your doc all your sx along with your timeline.

((((HUGS))))

Good luck on Monday. Have read a lot of your posts, but haven't talked with you. A timeline is very important. My neuro read mine very thoroughlt, and even referred back to it. A good first neuro exam should take at least an hour, so be prepared...Best Wishes, Maggie

[santana8]

Just wanted to wish you the best for your appointment. I do understand the anxiety that you are feeling. I have every time that I go to different doctor or have a new test. Once it is over I am relieved no matter the results. I try to look at it as another step closer to the correct answer, and this seems to help me! I will be watching for your update.

Take care
Santana

Everyone is here for you as you take this next step towards taking care of your health.  It is all rather nerve wracking, and we all understand that only too well.  I can tell from your posts that you have the strength and resolve to handle all of this.

Please let us know how it goes on Monday.

Peace.

Sweetie, I hope you get answers on Monday.  Good or bad news we will be here for you.  I will be thinking of you and wishing you well.  Have you made out your timeline?  A list of questions?  If you need anything, just drop me a line.

Love,

Ada

[grannyhotwheels]

I wish only the best for you.  Just remember that getting a diagnosis of MS is not a death sentence at all.  Regardless of what you find out please let us know and let us help you through whatever you may have.  

I don't know if anyone has told you or not but once you become a member of this forum you are never allowed to leave.  REMEMBER THIS!  The consequence's could be costly, hahahaheeheehee

I'll be praying,
Carol

Hi Ray, we haven't met yet as I've been a little hit and miss on here lately. I am undiagnosed myself right now so I know how you are feeling. It is nerve racking to say the least.

You'll do fine on Monday. Make sure you take a time line as it can be helpful in that even if the Neuro does not read it himself, you can always use it for yourself to help remember things that have happened. If you are anything like me, I find that I become brain dead when speaking to them.lol

I know that no one wants this kind of diagnosis or any other for that matter but it is better knowing what one is dealing with than not knowing at all. If it can be treated then so much the better. It may be that you will need more testing to rule everything out or in so be prepared that answers may not be forthcoming right away. I do pray that you get someone who is understanding and truly wants to help you.

You know that we are all here with you and will support you no matter what. It will be okay. Hang in there.

Hugs
Moki
