After spending about 45 minutes with a Resident and performing a multitude of tests I finally saw my Neuro and heard the words none us are particularly wild of hearing. " Your are having an exacerbation". She scheduled me for three rounds of Solumedrol for next week. Then for a MRI on Friday.
Now the VA will not do contrast without blood work so I had to go do that.
I asked her straight out how she arrived at the DX of an exacerbation. She told me your clinical a were not what we like to see. When she had me close my eyes and stand still and could not stand straight up and nearly fell a couple of times. She and the resident were there to stop me though.
As if that weren't bad enough I have to drive to New Orleans Thuesday, Wednesday and Thursday for my infusions and then again on Friday for my MRI. That's a little over a hour ride from where I live.
Definitely not what I had hoped for. But you live with it and move on.
