There is no ifs, ands, or buts about it. I have Multiple Sclerosis.
My doctor found a spinal cord injury and said that I have an excessive amount of spinal fluid as well in my lower neck/upper back area that she wants to continue to monitor.
She also found the cause of my neck pain. Not only is there lesions in the area, I have a deformed vertebra and a disk that is oddly shaped and is begging to bulge out. Both of which she said can cause me pain.
She stated that the lesions I have in my back is most likely why my finger tips are numb. She said that she hopes the feeling returns, but there is a chance that it never will.
So, whats the next step with the MS treatment??
Tomorrow, I will be getting blood work done, and within the week I will be receiving another vaccination. This time for chicken pocks. Sadly, I have no choice. In about a month, I will have health care professionals at my hours for about 6-7 hours while they monitor me for my first dose of Gilenya. I'm a little nervous about it, but something's gotta give, right???
Until next time,
We are not alone!!!
