Year mark and doctor visit

Hello all! I have been quiet for the past 6 months. Going back to work uses up all my energy, but I do catch up on posts every so often. I am so glad to hear the good news and share the heartbreak of the not great news. You are all an inspiration to me.

I just returned from my 1 year followup. Different doc that I like better. Unfortunately what i attributed to heat and stress, he's calling a severe flare. If the MRI confirms it, then he says that isnt a good prognosis. Trying to calmly await the MRIs and blood work in the next couple of weeks and then we'll make decisions about changing DMTs. I really wanted Copaxone to work for me and allow me to "forget" I have MS.

Ah well. Rose colored glasses don't look that great on me. ;)

latellama chin up Kim. At least you like your new doctor, and it sounds as though he knows what he is doing. Hope all the tests go well. Keep us posted please. Nice to hear from you again. Blessings Jimeka 🦋 🌈 🤗

latellama , I’m sorry you are experiencing more symptoms. I’ll be praying for clear results and for a clear direction in treatment. With so many treatment options, you’ll surely find something that will help you more if you should need to switch.

Would you let us know what you discover from your tests?

I am so sorry latellama ! But it seems that you have the right attitude. Keeping as positive as possible helps us handle stresses of any kind.

I hope things get better soon.

It's great news you found a doc you like, latellama , but I'm really sorry about the relapse. I hope your doctor is able to help you in the short term (maybe he'll hold off on steroids until after your MRI?), and between the two of you, you can discern the best course of action based on your test results. Take care of yourself. I remember it taking a while for you to get back to work--and how much you love it. It is hard to slow down and take the time needed to rest. 💕
