Guest guest Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 I had my second appointment at the MDA Clinic at Duke today. I wanted to share that with you. I am still very impressed with the Dr. & Phy. Ther. They are both very agressive in treating my symptoms. So..I'm doing some very serious stretching exercises every day. I'm going to try some new meds also. So, I will keep you posted on that. The exercises actually feel good & seem to be helping. I go back in Oct. for another EMG and also visit the clinic again. Right now my dx is still PLS, but I am showing a little muscle weakness. That's why we're doing the EMG again in Oct. Hopefully there will be no changes. I know some of you do not agree with all the testing & new meds. It is my way of fighting back at this nasty disease! It really feels good to finally have a Dr. that is trying to help me instead of just shrugging their shoulders!! That's the kind of Doctors I've had until now. So, I highly recommend the MDA Clinics!! LOVE, PAT in NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 9, 2003 Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 Hi Pat, You just go ahead and do what you have to do to fight your PLS. It's " your " PLS! We all have it in varying degrees, and also handle it in different ways. I haven't been to my neurologist in over 2 years, but have been to NIH every summer for 3, so I figure that's good enough for now. Daryl and I are still planning on a visit with you in a couple of weeks, on the 27th! We can email privately to make the arrangements. Anyone else in the area want to join? It'll be lunch on Sunday, the 27th! Hugs, Laurel MDA CLINIC I had my second appointment at the MDA Clinic at Duke today. I wanted to share that with you. I am still very impressed with the Dr. & Phy.
