12/8/09

Had my three month check-up with my neurologist this morning. Everything is well. I am having another set of MRI's done this Sunday (12/13) since it has been a couple of years since my first ones. The MRI's will be: of the brain w/o contrast and then of my cervical spine with and w/o contrast. The contrast agent is the gadolinium I had before. We will see if things have changed or whatnot after the MRIs are done - and back into the doctor 1/6/10.

I asked my neurologist about the pill that is to be reviewed next month for MS. She said that pill is not something she would recommend for me for a few reasons: two new (like a car, it's smart to wait until a new car model has been out a while so any kinks that may arise can been ironed out); this pill more for the more progressive forms of MS; and she doesn't want to mess with what is working out so well for me. Why mess with something that works, right?!

I had my H1N1 vaccination last weekend. The hospital Casey works at, William Beaumont in Royal Oak was offering a free H1N1 vaccination clinic so why not take advantage of that?! :) The vaccination's syringe needle gauge (23 or 24) sure was larger than my Copaxone syringe needle (29) but I am so use to needles now it wasn't a biggie. I cannot believe I am saying that.

Anyway, I will let you know the results of the MRIs when I know them.
