precription all straightened out, but wanted to elaborate a bit on

my day at a new medical facility. My Internist had an MRI done of

my back several months ago and FINALLY got around to doing

something abou it. He sent me to Hershey Medical Center in Hershey

Pa. to an Orthepedic Specialist who deals only in " backs. " This

turned out to be one of my most delightful days since being dx'd

with MD!

ears. Not only that, he Openly commented on the fact that I had a

nursing background which made me a better patient! Whoa, I couldn'

believe my ears............those were his first 10,000 points!

After a very thorough exam, which I swear was better than any Neuro

had ever done, he proceeded to tell me about the advantages of

coming to a Teaching HOspital! He told me so many things I'd never

heard from anyone before. First and foremost was that I was so

spastic it's a wonder I'm still walking at all! Never knew that!!

Put me on Baclofen and Flexoril and promised I'd sleep through the

night for a change since most MS'ers are insomniacs! That really

stunned me. Then set me up for Neurological Therapy (for my back!)

to be done there since there's no one in my area who has the

slightest idea what that is! Also said my posture, gait, etc. had

really messed up my pelvic area which is why it's showing as back

pain.

> Then he set me up for MS Clinic which I hadn't attended in at

least 10 years. Stating there are so many improvements having been

made (i.e., the heavy metal short leg braces I wear!) and many other

improvements they can help me with like my speech problems.

was delighted..........believes in any complimentary medicine that

will help! Did you ever have a day that just seemed to go too

right? Well, this was it, and after taking the first Baclofen and

hour ago, I feel like a ragdoll for a change instead of a keyed up

ready to spring clock!

I am so glad for you. After so many years suffering you deserve a good

day. Stick with the hospital and doctor sounds better than anything I

have ever been to.

You also have speech problem? I wanted to ask you? Do you have MS or

MD?

I know at times I can't get my words out in time.

But more than that I sometimes slur when I do talk. Seem very slow

when I do try and talk.

I am glad you had a good day! Hope you have many many more!
