Sharon, congratulations on taking the big leap (medically); they will figure out whatis the cause of what; I just had a colonoscopy; am alive and well! Eating a bit morefiber now! I have spinal stenosis (nothing to do with MS!) and I take Ibuprofen for it--seems to help a lot! KEEP US POSTED on the results of all these tests!Love and gentle hugs,nSubject: doctor appt todayTo: "Group" <mserslife >Date: Friday, July 15, 2011, 8:28 PM

I was so bummed out when I got there because they said my doc wasn't there! Turns out she was air flighted to Phoenix for emergency back surgery yesterday. They said they brought in a PA from sdale to see Dr. J's patients for the next few months. I almost walked out but I decided to stay. I was seen first my a medical student from the U.of A. med school. She was great and seemed excited to get to do a neuro exam:) lol The PA wants me to have a chest xray because of my chronic cough. She also wants to have xrays on my lower back due to the pain I'm having. She feels stumped by the pain and soreness I described because her exam showed no reason for it that she could identify. She also will refer me for a

mammogram. And the biggie for me is she wants me to have a colonscopy! I have refused to have one before because I'm a huge wimp. But I guess I will follow through this time. The lower back pain is getting pretty bad for me. Something is wrong. I have made a habit of refusing medical tests over the years. Right or wrong --that's the way I am. I hope it wasn't a mistake to refuse all these years, you know? Before my appointment I went to Walmart for my monthly shopping trip. I had my hair cut at the salon when I first got there so now I feel human again. lol hugs to each SharonThis email is a natural hand made product. The slight
