I’m sorry to hear about your new spinal cord lesion 😩

rjoneslaw profile image
rjoneslaw in reply tokdali

I’m in the process of switching to Ocrevus. I have to do the blood work to see if I can do it.

I also have to wait on the approval from the insurance. Once I get that I’ll stop Tecfidera since I have it out of my system for a month

I have another MRI in June. The good news about the MRI that the dr got from the hospital they were comparing it to an outdated MRI that they had. The dr had them send a disk of the MRI done at the hospital and when she looked at the MRI without their report I had no new lesions

Jimeka will be happy to hear this

The 9th I have my chiro appt (every 2 weeks) and the 15th I have my dermatologist appt for the recheck of the mole on my toe. Wonder if they can burn it off..it's so ugly.

CalfeeChick profile image
CalfeeChickCommunityAmbassador in reply tobxrmom

My doc freezes them off. I have a yearly appt to have my skin checked as I always develop little skin cancers. Probably because of my years of sun exposure as a long distance bicyclist. I wore lots of Sunblock too.

bxrmom profile image
bxrmom in reply toCalfeeChick

Thanks, CalfeeChick It's just weird this mole is on the top of my second toe...probably from wearing sandals :( The dermatologist said something about it being a hard spot because of the location but we decided to wait and see as I had something else that was being looked at. Hopefully, it hasn't grown (which I don't think so but she has a special measuring lense to tell). I just want it gone. Will update after my appt.

Doubled51 in reply togreaterexp

If all my appts were that easy it would be great. They just ask my pain level and do I need refills. Last 2 times I’ve got pinpoint injections in my shoulder and neck that help for a couple of weeks but that’s it except for the drive.

Looks like April brings lots of appointments! I have an appt tomorrow,

April 2, with my PCP to discuss my hip pain and beg for some pain meds. I also have an appt on April 16, with my MS Neuro, just a regular 6 month check up. He's not requested any pre-appointment tests. I plan on asking him about starting a DMT.

mrsmike9 profile image

Check up on the 24th. Same ol', same ol'. Worst part is the blood test the week before. I'm such a hard stick!

The only appointment I have this month is with my neuro and the MRI clinic on the 24th. I will be busy, though, going to appointments with my husband. The doctor found a 3-inch mass in his abdomen. The biopsy was done today so now we have to wait for the tests to come back.

Hello everyone, I had an appointment yesterday April 1st for bloodwork results to a new condition my doctor believes I have (sicca). Well, April fool on me and my doctor because the blood work came back as if I am a very healthy person with no condition. The doctor is baffled because it is very clear from my hand and what I'm telling him that I have something going on and he is beside his self that the blood work came back negative for everything. Looking at my body tells him something is going on, so he is not sure what to do but he promised me that he will not give up until he finds out what is going on with me. Which was nice to hear. I am thankful for the negative bloodwork but it doesn't help with what I'm going through. I'm sure many can relate to what I am talking about.

Anywhoo, I am keeping my head up and moving forward as I know it its the best thing to do. I will deal with it when we find out what is going on with me. Everyone have a great, safe, blessed day.

Oh, wow! Keep us posted, please!

kdali profile image
kdali in reply togreaterexp

I meant to for round one 😬 I’ve started some of the shots and will have probably 3 scans/labs and 2 more meds over the next week, then the procedure, then the two week wait 😵 The only time in my life I’ve hoped to vomit every day 🤣

Last time it took two cycles, so I’m hoping for the same ol same ol 🤞👶

jimeka in reply tokdali

Please keep us posted. I watched an American program called Little people on the Prairie and she went through IVF, I did not understand what the doctors can do and the process of what the female has to endure with all those injections into the stomach. I admire the strength of every female that has to go through it and the hope they all have that it works. You are in my prayers , blessings Jimeka, hug for V. She is probably running into everything and chattering her little head off, enjoy, 🙏

kdali profile image
kdali in reply tojimeka

IUI is a bit less invasive and a lot less hormones and prepping, from what I’ve read. I think we get 6 tries at IUI before moving to IVF...but every month off of Ocrevus is tempting fate with MS, so I don’t know if I would take it past 3.

Ty, it is a crazy time with half of the month going to the clinic for tests (while entertaining baby!) and the other half is trying not to think about anything but the drugs make you feel pregnant again or crazy or both 😬

Ty so much!!! 🥰 Will do! She is very excited to go outside now that it’s warm and she can go to the playground. She has learned colors, numbers, shapes, is working on letters/sounds, and asks for ice cream in two languages for emphasis 🤣🤣

This is the best time of her life to teach her and let her learn as much as she can. She sounds very intelligent. All the best I hope everything works out with no 2. 🤗
