Thank you again, and I will let you know how the visit went.

I saw the neurologist today, and after he examined me he felt that I showed no signs of MS, but then showed me the MRI of my brain. I have 9 lesions that he says absolutely says that I have it. I'm having a spinal tap done Feb. 11 to see if I do. If I do he says that I have lived with it for years and never even knew it, and if so he can prescribe drugs/treatment that will stop the progression with hopes I can continue to lead a normal life. So that was some good news that I got today. It certainly has been an interesting month!

I'm ready for a boring period!
