My husband has sarc and he has an appointment on Monday with a Neurologist

January 12, 2011

Hi, I am joining after reading several of the posts. My husband was diagnosed 10

years ago. The symptoms started with his eyes and it is getting worse. He has

limited vision so he cannot drive and he had to stop teaching about 6 years ago.

SS wa denied twice which really upset him but we just keep on going. We have

been best friends since he was 16 and I was 15. He now has the shooting pains in

his feet and legs. He also has weakness in his legs and has started sleeping all

the time. Can anyone provide input about what to expect at the doctor? Anything

specific we should ask? I can only imagine how he feels. I have read several of

the posts and it breaks my heart. I know this is not about me but I am

terrified. (I don't show it to him although I think he suspects I am) You have

to relize that he went to college on a football scholarship. When I went outside

to clean the driveway of snow I saw the look on his face. There is really no one

to talk to about the disease...I don't really want to burden anyone and several

that know get a blank look when I tell them about the disease. I have to admit

it helped me greatly to read the post to realize that he is not the only one

going thru these issues.

I saw several articles about using the anti-inflammatory diet will help. Has

anyone used this? Thanks for listening!!!! God bless you all. Jo
