I finally got an appointment at the MS clinic this week. Brought in my old medical records and MRI's. The clinic won't cover a new MRI so no definitive new lesions but based on my physical exam and severe recent flair, the neurologist feels there are some. The new numbness in left upper leg and limp atone to that diagnosis. She feels like I may have a chance to get back to baseline of last year. I hope so miss riding my bike and taking girls for long walks. I have lost a nice amount of weight which is a bit disconcerting . Have had some help from two friends in the grocery department because money has been tight. The doc would like me to refrain from working for another few weeks especially anything that involves periods of standing or walking. Tutoring is almost non existent here in the summer, so I am struggling to keep my head above water. I have been awarded monies toward finishing my engineering/physics degree that will kick in this fall. She was impressed that my cognitive ability appears intact. Before you ask, as of right now I do not qualify for disability and I hope and pray I never do. I have to say it is humiliating to re-visit GoFundMe but I have sold many of my possessions and still trying to sell more. The MS society has not been real helpful and they are not quick in their response time.
If you don't want to be bothered with me again, I totally understand, just limited places to turn. This makes having no family really real for me. Thanks for reading!
