Ok so it looks like I’m going on Ocrevus! Neurologist did lab work to make sure I can get it. Also have to wait for my insurance to approve it, could take a while. He also put in an order for a full brain and spinal cord MRI, plus both physical and occupational therapy, and I can get everything done right there at the neuro clinic! My neurologist (Dr. Ehrhardt) is leaving Hauenstein Neuroscience at the end of the year, but I will be seeing Dr. Sullivan, he is the director of the MS clinic there, so I'll be in good hands! Their MS clinic/program (only one in West Michigan) is certified by the NMSS! I met his nurse today and some of the other clinic staff. I'm still trying to wrap my brain around all of this! I need a beer!! 😲🍺

Thanks Luckymomx2! I sure will, now that I'm officially in the confirmed diagnosis bunch and will be starting treatment! I'm scared to death, but at least I got some long awaited answers today and kind of relieved at the same time!

Dx results have been a long time coming, at least now you know what to expect. Enjoy that beer, you deserve it. 🤗 Jimeka 🦋

Yes, Jimeka, I'm enjoying a frosty mug (well, actually the second) right now! 😁 I rinsed them in water and put them up in the freezer as soon as I got home from the appointment! Oh and I made some brownies too, got mint chocolate chip ice cream as well! Will probably wait until tomorrow, don't think that would mix too well with beer! Lol🍫🍚🍪

Brownies, forget about the beer!
