I'm done with the next neuro appoitment. The doctor was actually quite positive.
He wants me on treatment as soon as I deliver. The only bad news with that is I won't be able to fully nurse. I can deal with that, though. I'll nurse to the point where I see him again and get on treatment. I'll need an MRI after I deliver, too.
The good news is that he thinks we caught this early enough that we can keep it under control better. He said MS doesn't kill people, it can debilitate them. But, hopefully we can keep it to a minimum with early treatment. Treatment can eliminate or minimize the 'attacks' so I won't have as many lasting effects as if I wasn't treated. I hope that works for me.
If I do get an attack before next June I can get put on steroids to help reverse the effect.
My left side has improved so I'm happy. I might be done with O/T. I forgot to ask.
I think that's it for now. I'm at work all week filling in for my coworker who's on her honeymoon. So, I need to get to it.

Just read your blog. My eyes are tearing up. I'm glad the appointment was positive and the doctor is being helpful. Hearing this make me feel better, too. I love you.
Thanks, mom. :)
I have to stay positive. It does me no good being down on it. (Which is easy to do.)
