Hi Janito,
I made out okay at the neuro on Friday. Yes, he is still in one piece! He said the 2 lesions on my brain have not changed, but that I do have some scattered spots also. He said something about being a little bigger than subtle like the radiologist had said, but I have to ask him whether he was talking about the 2 lesions or the scattered spots. I will be talking to him today about the results of my sleep study, so I will let you know what he says. He had come down some from the 95% sure about MS after I went to Duke, but after looking at my recent MRI he is at 80%. He said he doesn't know of anything else it could be since all my symptoms are consistent with MS.
The one thing that confused me is that he said I haven't had an "attack," because I haven't had certain things with my eyes, walking like I'm drunk, etc. I don't know what you would call what I have been experiencing for the past 7 months then. I wonder if an attack and a flare-up are different things.
He is glad I'm going to the neuro-ophthalmologist on the 8th and Hopkins on the 19th. He said maybe the neuro-ophthalmologist will see something in my eyes that will point toward MS. He also said he wants me to have the doctor at Hopkins take a close look at the MRI of my C-spine, since the radiologist had a question about one area. My neuro really couldn't see what the radiologist was talking about, so he wants the doctor at Hopkins to check. I know I have herniated disks in my C-spine, but I would think they would look differently that the way MS would look.
My son is doing much better after last week...thank you! We all are, just a bit more cautious in general.
I hope you have a wonderful and blessed day!
Hugs,
Lynn
and i do beleive that some people with ms have never had any problems with there eyes. Jeezz you think your getting a little nearer and then another issue becomes apparent. Glad your all feeling better, and caution is always a good thing.
