Hello, I am not new to MS (dx in 1992), but I am fairly new to the site. I am in pretty good shape, still ambulatory, never any pain. I have self-cathed for the last 15 years, but that has become as insignificant as brushing my teeth.
My worst problems are bowel problems. I have read some helpful posts on this site.
Yesterday I saw a gastroenterologist and I am very pleased. She does have some new things to try (I thought I'd tried everything!), but best of all, she has told me we will keep trying until something works. She said it is like a spiral, sometimes something works for awhile, sometimes you have to try something new, or go back to something that worked at one time. (I will go into more detail in the "secretive" forum.)
I got the impression that she was going to stay with me and keep following up. She told me to stay in touch with her and send her emails over our medical email service.
I am hopeful and happy today.
