Sooooo, I saw the neurologist today. He sees me about every 3 months now and checks reflexes for nerve function etc. Last time I saw him, he wasn't happy with one of my reflexes and based on what I was telling him about what was going on with me, he said it seemed like there was more spinal chord activity, which means more lesions caused from the MS attacking my nerve lining. So that wasn't a good report at my last checkup. Then I saw him again because I was extremely depressed. He tried getting me on antidepressants but the insurance denied them. I threw myself back into the steps and mentally have improved.
Physically I've still be extremely tired, periods of exaustion hitting when I least expect them to. HOWEVER.....today at the appointment, when he checked my reflexes and movement, there was IMPROVEMENT. One of the reflexes that showed major spinal chord activity last time is working properly now. SO THIS MEANS TREATMENT IS WORKING....this means I'm improving.....this means the lesions are HEALING. This is HUGE news. Its hit and miss with MS. They never know how one will react to treatment. They never know if initial injury will heal. In a lot of patients it doesn't. But mine HAVE. I have to believe that its more than just the treatment. I have to believe its all the love and support and prayers I get. I have to believe its partly my good attitude and positivity, mixed with honesty in how I'm feeling and diligence in working the steps and staying sober. WoW.....this is the best news I've received in nearly a year pertaining to my MS. I am so happy today....I just had to share!!!!!!
