Hi all. Thanks for the mojo and well wishes. We got the neurological report back and went over some info. She just went through a spinal MRI about 30 minutes ago. 50 minutes long. What you need to know is she is VERY claustrophobic. She doesn't ride elevators. She has now made it through 2 MRI's successfully. So proud of her.
We (doctors) are pretty sure it is MS. They are doing more tests (the spinal MRI and a spinal tap, please make the jokes, to rule out NMO) NMO isn't pretty but gets misdiagnosed as MS and the treatment is slightly different. She is in good spirits.
Interesting aside, she has uncovered that there were 2 instances in the past that were probably misdiagnosed. One 10 years ago when she had dizziness and the MS test came back negative and then 5 years ago when they just said she needed glasses.
So it's entirely possible she has had this for 10 years and not known which, actually, might be a good thing in that this is a flare up of MS or NMO that we can control and being that she has had it for so long it is not showing progression into debilitating levels such as loss of vision or losing the ability to walk.
I'm spitballing to keep my hopes up but whatever. Just want her home. Night 4 in the hospital tonight.
Been going 2 and 3 times a day while juggling 3 kids. Kids have gone several times and are also in good spirits although they don't know the extent of things since they wouldn't understand it all.
Thanks again for the support. Hanging in there.
