Good morning melissa,
I am so sorry to hear you day is starting out rough (to put it mildly).  I hope you will hang in here with us - we're good listeners and actually share some laughs too!

Can you do us a favor and try to break up your posts into short paragraphs?  Many of us have vision problems and it is very difficult to read long paragraphs such as yours.  

Truthfully, we often give up on reading what has been written if it gets lengthy because the words all blur together! Yes, another fun MS side effect. :-)

Here's to a good Friday for you - I hope it improves.

my best,
Lulu

Hi, glad you reported on your doctor visit.  I thought you might be needing the assistance of the "system", which is why I offered the support in my last post.  If you haven't seen that, it's in answer to your previous post.  I'm curious as to why you have to pass a residual function test in person.  What have you done thus far to apply for disability?  Obviously you need a doctor as an ally.  That's why I suggested that you send for a letter from your previous doctor.  Is that possible?  Also letters from people other than relatives who are familiar with your limitations can be a benefit.  If you'd like more info, PM me and I'm be glad to offer some insights.

I wish you the best, Jan

Good evening Melissa,
Its good to hear that you got a referral to a different neuro.

Here's hoping you get back on track with the MS diagnosis and get help.
