Hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Possuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuums.
Good Afternoon and Happy Wednesday and Happy Hump Day. We made it half-way through the week. I’m not sure how. Monday and Tuesday (and even today) has been a complete blur. So I guess I should update you all on your Dr. appointments.
Monday, I met with my Neurologist. After forgiving her for making me fell abandoned and neglected, we moved on to my MRI. She was thoroughly unimpressed. The same lesions on my spinal cord were lit up. Those lesions are the ones giving me such trouble with my legs.
I explained to her that I took it upon myself to modify my medication dosage and intake – (I decided to take less of some things and other things I just quit). Am I qualified? Yes – I watched several seasons of ER and Grey’s Anatomy until they bored me to tears at which point I felt I had graduated with honors with my medical degree.
She was OK with my new dosages and whatnot but she was not willing to share her prescription pad. Sigh! She performed a few tests on me and was impressed with my leg strength. Also we may UP the dosage of my cellcept (the anti-organ transplant rejection medication) one more time. It seems to be working but she said it really takes about 3-6 months to see any results. I have only been on it for three and a half months. So another MRI in three months followed by a meeting with her the very next day. I will continue PLEX every two weeks and then move to only once a month or as needed.
As for my meeting with the Hematologist, I can report that I do not have blood cancer or and blood disease of any type, but I am staying on the blood thinners for the time being.
And there you have it. I know what I know.
I can’t thank you all enough for supporting me and donating to the MS Dallas Walk this Saturday. And THANK YOU to @Nan Mitchell and @Jane Sherer for organizing a walk back home in SC on Creekwood Road for me. I tell you – that’s one fine neighborhood I grew up in – in SC – nothing but love, kindness and friendship. This is the third year they have done this in my honor.
As my total stands now: $10,225.00
It will be: $11,250.00 (I got a $1000 donation in the mail)
My three year total: $11,294.66(2021) + $ 13,306 (2022) and $11,250(2023) = $35,850.66
