Shocking visit with Neuo Dr

[Guest guest]

I went today for my 6 months neuro check up...only because if I

didn't go I would have been dropped of the patient list because I

rescheduled an appt. This is the guy who blew me off 6 months ago.

Now he wants to do every test that hasn't been done already! I am

so tired of tests that it was all I could do not to look him in the

eye and tell him THANKS BUT NO THANKS! I have a lumbar tap on

Friday. That one scares me. How bad is it? Then 2 two hour MRI on

Monday (bring out the VALIUM!)of my spine and a Nerve conduction

study on Tuesday!! He discussed NS but said he didn't think I had

it. WHY bring it up then! I saw on the paper work I am to take to

the hospital that he is testing me for MS. I am not complaining -

honest. I guess I am just in a STATE OF SHOCK. 3 doctors in two

weeks are discussing that I DON'T HAVE NS! Since my treatment or

lack of at IUMC last year I really have given up getting help...I

was just going through the motions and not expecting to get

treatment! Just keeping my doctors appts. If it hadn't been for my

TERRIFIC eye doc I'd probably not be getting anything done. I

haven't heard if the pre auth has come through for the Remicade yet.

I am making my eye doc this wonderful wonderful cheesecake

WISH I could seed all of you one for all the support and just

letting me ramble on and on THANKS I will post the recipe it

anyone wants it....
