Guest guest Report post Posted February 3, 2006 Oh, Terri, Terri, I am so sorry. That was one of my stupid jokes. But it's a sorry state of affairs in the medical world that you would think it might be true. (It might be true, but not that I know of.) Please, give me 10 lashes with a wet umbilical cord, the ultimate punishment for a midwife. I will try to put a little disclaimer on my jokes from now on. I feel like such a bozo, causing you to worry like that. Honestly, I don't know anything about Dr. Skeen. Will you forgive me? Rose, shuffling her feet & hanging her head.

Do you know where you readthis or do you have that article? I go on Wednesday to Duke and I wantto be prepared.

Guest guest Report post Posted February 4, 2006 Rose, I have been through the ringer with these docs; I just took your comment literally. Don't feel bad about it. I am not looking forward to going. When I went to s Hopkins I thought I would be given a treatment protocol for something, but all they would say is it is not MS. I am afraid that is going to happen again. They won't even give me any prednisone because they don't want to mask any symptoms. So here I am - with my cognitive status waning - and I have no treatment. I knocked the crap out of my head the other day because I have so a slow response time.....I fall.....I have promblems with numbness...I had a bout of trigeminal neuralgia and Bell's the last two days. You can see why I am fed up. I don't want to get my hopes up but I don't know what I am going to do if I don't get a treatment protocol. I guess I will just get on here and go off so that I don't loose my ever loving, pea pickin mind. Thanks for letting me vent and don't worry about your joke. My lame brain isn't understand much these days anyway. Terri G. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
