Good news is I'm was able to talke to the neurologist on call and a guy from the hospital came in and over heard me saying I would prefer to not have to stay 3 days starting today while she was giving me the oral option. He thout the amout was hig enough it would cause my stomach problems but brought up he may be able to get me set up at an off sight place that will be a walk in and out done in 40 min instead.
I said sounds great just make sure my insurance covers it. It will and they could get me secdualed so I was released after my first infusion.
The bad news is yes my existing damage had enlarged and I have more damage some larger spots.than the old enlarged spots. So a 100% confirmation of Ms. The meds will suppres my immune system, have an increased risk of cancer, and incfeas the likelihood of geting shingles, an irritation if on the body trunk but bad news if in you eyes or head. So time to weigh the pros.and cons but really is not much choice bu to let my body destroy my brain and get worse or try to slow it down.
At least I feel more justified now in working all the hours I have in the last 3 years working on getting my finances in a beter spot if I do end up not able to continue to work in the future. Hopefully that won't happen but is a big load off knowing its a possibility with MS. Turns the Questining did/am I doing the right thing being away so much working all those 80 - 100 hr weeks to Yes I did it and it It may be tight but my family will be ok if that happens and the planning and sacrifices did waht I hoped to accomplish.
Hopefully these steroid infusions get me back to feeling more normal and the meds hold relapse at bay.
Ask the docs about high dosing vitamin D and taking testosterone. There are several studies showing T has repaired myelin and multiple books written about treating numerous diseases, MS included, with extremely high doses of D3.
They will tell you theyve never heard of either and tell you that you will OD on D3. They do not want MS to be reversible, because the money wouldnt be pouring in like it is for just preventing further damage.
