Getting nervous
Hey all - I'm going to the MS clinic next week and starting to feel a bit nervous. I've had issues for the past couple years, several inconclusive tests, MRI's, a negative (horrible) LP, a lousy neurologist and then I gave up. Got a referral to a Neurosurgeon to consider surgery for reoccuring Trigeminal Neuralgia and he said rather bluntly after reviewing my file and a Neuro exam, "I think you need to go to the MS clinic for a full assessment." I think my greatest fear is that I will continue to not know whats wrong with me. Although fortunately or unfortunately depending on your perspective I have been doing awful since the last week in May. I now have numbness and tingling/pain in both my hands. I guess it is always the newness of not knowing what to expect. Fun times... sorry just needed to vent.

Hey Connie,
Doesn't get much better, does it? Can't beat our weather (we won't talk about the last couple of winters).
I can't complain about the health care either!

I didn't see this until now....much too late I'm sure. How did your appointment go? Where are you living in NS? I'm always available to chat if you like.

Greetings
Have been looking for a Canadian MS site for a while now. Just wanted to say hello. I live in a small town outside of Windsor, Ontario and am a member of the MS Society there. Was diagnosed with MS June 02, 2006. Due to history; Dr. figured I had MS for 20 years before he saw me.
I am 54 years old. Have been using Copaxone since June 6th, 2006. -3 years today. Spent today in bed due to fatigue. Would like to know if anyone is having success with their daily injections.
Be Well.

Welcome Dennd and everyone! Den, MBP8298 (Dirucotide/?) should be avail soon. The downside is it only works if you have the HLADR2/4 gene. The upside is 75% of MS patients have that (sadly, not me )
