Finally a diagnosis... sort of

After calling everyday for a week, I finally spoke with the doctor who did the Spinal Fluid test a MONTH ago.. The doctor wasn't very pleased that I waited this long for an answer... BUT he is 75% sure that it is MS.. but wants me to see another doctor befor starting a treatment plan...

What pisses me off is that when I fell the first time and mentioned the family history of MS and asked for a spinal tap, that doctor thought I was nuts.. Dave is wondering if I can do somehting as a result of a delayed diagnosis. In fact, if we did his original diagnosis of Parkinson's and got treated for it, it may have gotten worse, Fortunely, he did not treat me for it, instead I was sent to someone else who said that I was getting seizures, and treated me for it... The meds did not help one bit, and as soon as I stopped taking the pills, I got a little better movement and more productive

I'm on phase 2 of the volunteer gig. Wish I could learn more on the total procedure they use. On the flip side I really want the per diem job that i interviewed for yesterdy.. The volunteer place said that they would work with me. They don't want to lose me.... That is a good feeling... Makes me feel wanted
