Hi , was dz with rrms in August 2008, but the truth was I went about telling people what was wrong with me and to be truthful I never felt anything towards my dz, but to be honest I always expected the phone call or letter to day, really sorry big mistake you do not have ms.
that never happened so my councilor said to go see my dr at hospital to see my last brain scan and take me through what she saw in it.
so I call southern general and got an appointment with my dr, dr Thomas.
my app was the 24th Aug. She’s a brilliant dr and really nice person, anyway told her how I was feeling, and she said last scan had been 3 yrs ago, and it was no problem to go through it with me, but as it would take a few minutes to load up she went through the usual questions and how I had been as I was just put back on co paxone, due to trying other meds that the side effects I could not live with,
well she then showed me my scan at least I do have a brain , and pointed out what she called whit spots and unusual things going on that proved I had ms.
but then went on to say she was going to get me back for a new brain scan and then she would go through that one with me, but then said I was now in what she termed a grumbling period of ms and believed that I now have gone from rrms to spms.
so not only did I get the proof I needed that I am not a hypochondriac like people are saying, the proof I actually have MS but it has also progressed.
so now I have went numb, I do not know what to think, I need to understand I am ill, but how and where do I start, how do I cope, how do I get my family to believe I have this incurable, painful illness, that’s I am not a hypochondriac , or do I just leave it.
