okay, am i totally losing it? i went to the neurologist on monday july 25th, she ordered mri of head/neck with contrast didn't think it was ms, but wrote down rule out ms so insurance would pay. went for my mri on tuesday august 1st. never heard results this week. symptoms still come and go. today friday i get a notice from doctors office about a MS seminar on august 16th, if you are newly diagnosed or have been living with ms, come to this seminar.

is this a friggin joke? did someone make a mistake ? do they tell you via flyer that on monday i'm going to be diagnosed with ms? of course i tried calling the office but they close at 4 p.m. on fridays. i've been in panick mode for three days waiting for doctor to call with "bad results" and today i get a flyer about MS.......

okay kind of freaking, god glad it wasn't a flyer about terminal cancer. rather ms then that but if something was up with my mri wouldn't most people call or say, hey bring your dh with you on monday or hey we need some more tests or are they just going to spring this on me on monday. i'm just blown away. i didn't want to call and get my results because i didn't want my weekend blown. i actually felt pretty good today. shoulder/arm stiff today and vertigo comes and goes but...WTF????????????

I have never heard of such a thing. This is very distressing for me to read, let alone for you to be living through. I am a bit on the assertive side when things like this come up. You are definitely going to have a spoiled weekend fretting about this. I would call the dr. immediately & explain what happened. Call the dr. @ home or have him/her beeped by their answering service. Tell them whatever gets their attention. I would certainly take someone along for support after this episode. However, I think an office person may have made a mistake & saw your MRI request slip & assumed that's what you had. In that case, the person should be fired. In the meantime, I'm keeping you in my T&P's. (((hugs))) jan

How's it going, Katie? Did you get your results & were you able to find out about getting placed on the MS mailing list? Hoping all is well. (((hugs))) jan
