I had a lovely birthday dinner with my husband the night before the appointment, and then we made our way to the appointment with the specialist, in spite of the GPS trying to take us somewhere and leave us for dead.
Dr. Kim at OHSU was wonderful and thorough. He suggests that unless my disease becomes more active, I can just continue on Copaxone. He spent nearly 2 hours with me and read through tons of history. He does suggest that I have an EMG to just be sure every neuromuscular disease has been ruled out, but that's all! Hurrah!
Thank you, everyone, for your prayers, kind thoughts, and sweet birthday wishes. They mean so much to me.

The referral was to make sure I was using an appropriate DMT, and if I needed to switch, which one would be best. He confirmed the MS diagnosis, but felt that since I hadn’t had a relapse or new lesions recently, we should stay with the med with the least side effects. I’m good with that, I reckon.
No, my neurologist thought she was seeing progression and thought I may do better on Ocrevus. She sees very few MS patients, however, and wanted another opinion. So I’m still on Copaxone.
