Re: I went to the Dr.'s....

Ah Tracey, a bitter pill..

BUT perhaps an M.S. Dx would include most if not all of the other diagnoses...

And it often includes 'reason' to get the helpers you need (eg lift-recliner)

I got my diagnosis of M.S. just before I was to go to theological school, and remember also the distress that I was to take care of others, and here I could not evne take care of me. And if you've been already serving, must be even harder.

I forget if you are one of the ones who cannot 'do' prescription drugs. I know that many are dong well on the M.S. drugs -- though they are horrendously expensive, the M.S. Society could help with finding ways to cover, oftentimes...

(I 'do' the more holistic stuff, but then my physical challenges are less severe)

So anyway, the possibility of 'also' having M.S. MAY be less problematic, but even be just a different name. MAYbe...

and especially nowadays many with M.S. do quite reasonably, so it's not an automatic horror diagnosis as once was (wrongly) thought....

wishing you the best!! whichever way -- and uaully they take quite a whle still before saying 'yes, M.S.' -- after all it is a 'multiple' disease, and they want to see it be multiple for a while oftentmes -- though sometimes now giving folks the M.S. drugs before the Dx 'certain'

keep up informed!, Jean

I went to the Dr.'s....

Well I finally got to see the Doctor, it was not my specialist (thatwould have been a 2 month wait). But I went to see my personal Dr.,and He was very concerned about my present condition (swelling, lungs,staggering, off-balance,falling)He is sending me to another Specialiston the 24th, to have me tested for M.S.!OMG!, I do not know how much more I can handle! I am not even use tothe fact that I have Lupus SLE & Scleroderma, along with the seizuredisorder and everything else that follows these problems, now MS too!!I tell you what, my faith is getting so weak with all this mess. I donot understand myself (and I am an Ordained Minister) WHY? all this ishappening, and WHY? God has not healed me yet?..Please do not get me wrong, I am no better than anyone else who has tosuffer with sickness. But I can not do my "Spiritual Job" if I amalways sick an din bed. Instead of me battling the powers of darknessfor others, I am battling it for myself. And it does not look like Iam winning. I am so discouraged now, for I had hoped for a good report..And to top it all off, my Dr. wrote me a prescription for aLift-Recliner, and my insurance will not cover it..So now I have tocontinue struggling around, because with the little check I get willnot even come close to covering it. When it rains, it pours..Respectfully, Tracey
