Today I got my mail and in the mailbox was my MS Momentum Magazine. I was just thrilled to death that I got this magazine because it just proves that my neurologist is really Dr. Idiot.  In my last visit to my newly found neurologist (as I have relocated to a different state – he is my ninth one) – made it abundantly clear that there is no pain with MS. Ironically my primary care physician agreed with the neurologist – she is really sweet people – honestly does not know any better. How funny are these two people? Such a riot to listen to these professionals talk to me about something they do not have a clue about. Yea, they may have the degree but they definitely do not have the “I know how you feel” experience because they do not! It irks me every time I go to see these wonderful people who charge me a fortune for 15 minutes of painful diagnosis after having to wait 30 to 45 minutes to see these god-given talented people – sorry as I am reading what I am typing, I must be extremely annoyed at the moment.

After listening to this neurologist totally disregard what I know about my body – I mean since I have lived with this for 18 years – that does not count at all people!!! Mind you! I am not a professional! He treats me like I do not know what I am saying and tells me this in his manly squeaky voice – if you do not like the way I do things in this office I suggest you find another neurologist after waiting almost 4 months to get in to see someone and proceeds to tell me why I am wrong. I love these people I really really do!!!!

Ok peeps – as said in this wonderful informative magazine – the name of this article is “Getting a HANDLE on MS Pain”. What a huge lifesaver. I know now I am not going nuts. I do have pain. I do I really do! The article goes on to say that the pain cannot be measured – I agree 100%. Everyone has their own pain. My pain is the constant numbness, tingling, muscle spasm waking up having to stretch but the body is locked in this mind numbing spasm that does not allow me to move for a good 30 seconds. Every morning when I stretch I constantly remind myself my neurologist I just love him so (extreme hatred for the man really)…… he knows what he is talking about – I cannot move because I am in pain, but he is right there is no pain with MS! Honestly!

Stay healthy – stay focused – stay strong

Until next time!
