I like her a lot and feel like she is giving me good care, but I always feel hustled out. I always feel like I can talk to my doctors for longer and I know she has other patients. I did get a clean bill of health and she doesn&#8217;t want to see me again unless I see any new symptom for more than a couple of weeks. I think the ms is going as well as it can. <\/p>\n<p>So I went in with the following questions:<\/p>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li>What is going on with the lower abdomen soreness &#8211; she thinks it may be rebif related, but wante me to see my GP. I&#8217;m guessing rebif.<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>Foot numbness and ms hug on my feet &#8211; Dr. E said that&#8217;s a very common sideeffect and can happen in many places on the body like arms, chest torso<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>I mentioned Pot relieving numbness &#8211; She said that goes to show you the power of medical marijuana, but didn&#8217;t offer to write me a &#8220;green card&#8221;.<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>I asked about substitutes for Dialantin and she mentioned several but I only remember one &#8211; depicote &#8211; which for some reason I thought was an anti-depression drug<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>rebif payment options &#8211; She mentioned several of the ones I found and offered to have one of the staff look into programs.<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>Suppliments, DHEA, Creatine, ginko  she glossed over all but approved of my vitamin regimen: multi-vit, vit c, vit d and calcium.<\/li>\n<p><\/ul>\n<p>We didn&#8217;t get to talk about upcoming treatments which I wanted to do. But I have read about many of them. I think the next big drug will be the oral pill that is being tested.<\/p>\n<p>It was a really nice sunny day today which made running even more of a priority. I went on the longer canyon run I have been doing for years and then mapped it <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mapmyrun.com\/run\/united-states\/or\/portland\/177076122318\" target =\"_blank\">Check it out<\/a>. Being that this was the third in a row, I felt pretty pooped so I ran the 7+ miles slowly at a 9:38 mile pace.I was tired, but it was just too nice out to not run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I had my one year Neurology appt. with Dr. Ellison.
