I'm happy because they are sending me to a new neurologist. This weekend I was so weak I had trouble even sitting up in my comp chair. Those episodes don't last too long, but they happen non the less. I couldn't get ahold of my current neurologist, even through the 24/7 line. Plus I found out that I was not put on the Zonegran for the reasons he told me, I was put on because he diagnosed me with epilepsy!!!!!! I was never told. Anyways, I will see this new one on the 22nd (I had to wait for dh to be able to get off work and we have to get the files from the old one, since it's been 2mos and he still hasn't sent them to my family dr as requested my me and my family dr and medicare). This new one looked at the tests my family dr just ran, the statements for my first MRI and the complaints I have, well, he's very sure it's Lupus or MS again, so we are back to square one, but this time I have a better neurologist (I'm hopeing, LOL). He also said if he can't figure it out, there is a medical teaching hospital that one of his sibblings works at (specializes in neurology and mysterious diagnosises) and he'll send me there within a year (give it that long for tests). So, that's what's going on now. I wanted to brag about this, I'm so happy.
