Neurologist Appointment

So, Max and I met with my Neurologist last week. So the latest and greatest is that I am not classified as having MS yet and pray that I won't be. I only have symptoms of MS and they need to collect more information to make a diagnosis. MS is really hard to diagnose because it presents itself and looks different on each individual. I had another eye exam that looks at my optic nerves and how they send information to the back of my brain. Still waiting for those results. Next I will have another MRI, this time it will be 90 minutes long and they will be looking at my spine. Checking to see if there are lesions on my spine. That will be this Friday. Then I will go back to my Neurologist on November 8th (Our 7th Wedding Anniversary) for the results. Lets pray it's all clear. Lastly, the unpleasant part will be a spinal tap. So not looking forward to that. The date has not yet been scheduled. The spinal will measure proteins in my spinal fluid and this can give a more precise diagnosis. Thanks to all my family and friends for your calls, e-mails, cards and words of encouragement. I love you all and am blessed with such a great support group.
