Popular Post Dirtyhip Posted September 27, 2018 Popular Post Share #1 Posted September 27, 2018 Another year down. Last significant MS attack was in 2007. I expect my appt to be a fun session of talking about racing, life, and future plans. There will be a small discussion about my ankle (pondering possible foot drop or spasticity). I will talk about my thyroid going south, and prep for an upcoming medical procedure that will prevent me from eating for 24 hours. My med requires that I eat, so I have to ask...Do I take it, or avoid it for one day? I will also talk about heat intolerance, and I don't expect to hear much other than things I already know. When I got diagnosed, there was a moment in time where I felt hopeless. Luckily, my strength carried me forward to fight and get myself better. He will ask me to get another MRI, and I plan to comply. It has been ten years since the last one. Seeing new results will give us an idea of how this is progressing or not. 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gave me so many verbal kudos for my strength and dedication. He specifically mentioned that he is impressed with my tremendous drive. Especially so in light of recent ankle problems. I don't give up. Kinda funny. I was talking about my hot flashes and annoying menopausal symptoms. He read back some other symptoms like mood swings and irritability. Then he looked at my husband and said "there is hope. These symptoms eventually will go away and she might be, normal." He said this with a smirk and I could tell he was yanking my chain. We all laughed. He also mentioned that MS is mostly bad during reproductive years. That is great to hear. At the end of my visit I said "its great to hear that ms will be even better as I enter the next phase in life. Since my MS is already pretty benign. By 80, I will be like any other super hero." He loved that. Oh and he also suggested that I contact my drug company. He believes I can get paid to race again like I did with Amgen back in 2005. Boom!

maddmaxx ★ Posted September 28, 2018 Share #13 Posted September 28, 2018 So, now that you're feeling great is it going to be ok if just every once in a while we make a small parody of one of your threads? By the way, your report is great news. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Dirtyhip Posted September 28, 2018 Author Popular Post Share #19 Posted September 28, 2018 Also, I talked about having a bad face flush at work (med side effect). I told him how I deal with it by using an ice pack on the back of my neck. I complained that co-workers are quick to assume things like "You work out too hard for your body" I'm like "Go away, fool." 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
