Neuro appointment getting closer "/

New diagnosis and before diagnosis
1

Hi all

hope we’re all as well as can be n had a good xmas ( for thiose who join the celabrations)

I’m off to the hospital on monday first thing "/ been waiting a while to see the neuro again ( saw him 5 yrs ago)

n altho typically some symtoms are getting better, the brain fog n lack of being able to understand a convo and carry out simple tasks is still presenting as a problem atm

stupid broken brain lol all i asked santa for was a new brain lol but instead all i got was a shed load of choc n some perfume lol ( not complaining really )

On a more serious note tho i am getting myself more n more worked up about the appointment as i no they are pushed for time n its a lot to try n fit in such a short space of time

i have written things down as u lovely ppl have suggested many a time, but also im scared he wont even take me seriously because im obese

when i saw him 5yrs ago he told me to go away n lose weight or i would go blind!!

i was referred to him from the eye clinic after presenting with ON and after a battery of scans n a LP ( his thinking was High Intercranial Pressure) ( it was lower than should be apprantley) the MRI i had was of the arteries to see if i had a tumour (thankfully not) and to also see if i would be able to withstand a LP

All mentions of poss MS were shuned by him and he said goodbye

But here i am in the exact same potion again. i lost 5st (didnt make any difference) i since put it all pretty much back on :frowning:

the eye clinic are getting me back in to re-do the battery of test/scans and have written to the neuro asking for him to re-order the MRI scans as i had yet another bout of ON :frowning:

oh the fun n joy NOT

Jeez i really try not to wind myself up over this as there’s nout i cant do rite this minute weight wise or anything wise come to think of it lol

it just keeps playing on my mind tho that he’s gonna take 1 look at me walk thro that door, well wobble/hobble lol n think ’ fat cow no bloody wonder her bodys giving up n bits are thinking about falling off n not working properly’

;(

there think im finished ranting now lol

thanx for reading

ttfn :slight_smile:

Hi Lou What a load of…cheeky git!! MS affects people regardless of shape or size. I, too, am a wonderfully curvaceous big girl and nobody has ever mentioned weight to me…well not in the context of MS anyway!! Good luck for Monday, will be thinking of you. Xx
