Mostly good news!

The sad truth is that I don't know how to read most of these.  But my doctor said that I had no new lesions on the brain or cervical MRI's.  Any some of them have gotten smaller or disappeared.  That's great news!

I did have lesions on the thoracic mri, but that had never been done before, so she doesn't know how they compare to a year ago.  I guess my recent symptoms have been things that would be in that area though, so she wasn't really surprised.

She need mention that she was going to do a blood test to see if I had a different kind of MS.  I only know about the 4 main types, and didn't even know there was something else.  I don't remember what she called it, so I can't look it up.  I also didn't know there was a blood test for any kind of MS.  I figure though, its results come back pointing to something else, she'll tell me.

a brand new day

So, I've still been feeling crappy.  I called the doctor Monday, even though I had an appointment for Tuesday because I felt so awful.  She could see me Monday, so that was good.

The bad news is that there really isn't anything she can do.  I have an abyss in my tonsil, so she doesn't want to do the steriods until that clears up.   She did order an MRI today, which was in a nifty new larger-than-before MRI machine, but that's about it.

I go back Thursday to see what the results said.  I'm really curious if I've gotten any new leisons and where they are if I did.

In other news, I was dreaming last night that I didn't have MS.  It's not as lame as it sounds, it was just a dream in which I was doing things and nothing was going on.  I was physically and psychologically normal I guess.  I didn't notice I didn't have MS, I just felt fine.  It was kind of nice, until my alarm went off and I woke up.

My first thought was, "Oh, I'm all better."  I popped out of bed and raced to the bathroom.  That was a bad idea.  I wasn't all better and woke up and moved far too quickly for someone that's dizzy.  Oi Vei.

In good news, it was cold today.  Not like winter cold, but definitly cold for a summer day.  That was nice!
