So now I have four classes, and sure, 12 credit hours could be sign of slackerism, but I love it. I get to work out in the mornings and just be calm. Sure, in a few weeks I will be scratching at the walls just itching for something to do.
Anyways, I seem to be distracted from my original reason for posting. My Thursday mission involved tweezers, my eyebrows and some good lighting as well as a mirror. It is pretty amazing how much my intention tremors (I believe that is the technical term...but don't quote me)stand out when I take a tweezers to such a small area. Obviously preciseness is key, but holy crapola it is hard. I mean it was never easy, but when your hand is bouncing up and down, exactness is certainly not easy. Anyways, I finally accomplished the task at hand, it took a while...but its just another thing to add to the "Reasons Why MS and I Do Not Get Along" List...maybe I'll make a copy for my doctor...I have my semi-annual visit next Wednesday. Which reminds me I need to start thinking of some great questions to ask. I am a bit nervous, I am going alone, because I am a stubborn, stubborn, 21 year old who thinks she can do anything and everything without any help or anyone to hold her hand. At least I can admit that...
So...fellow bloggers...I'm wondering what kind of questions are even supposed to be asked...maybe they are so obvious I am missing something. I have to start doing the whole proactive thing in this battle...I just don't know where to start...
Well, bring a list, because you WILL forget if you don't. It never fails, when I forget my list, I forget my questions in the course of our initial conversation.
ReplyDeleteYou might start with how you are doing on any meds that you are now taking, including over-the-counter meds and those prescribed by anyone else. Also tell him/her whether you've been compliant or not.
You could mention what you're doing (at school), and how you're getting by with your symptoms, what is affecting your daily life.
Of course, you want to mention any new symptoms you've noticed (since your last visit), and how you've been managing them. This would include things you're not sure are MS-related.
But you probably already knew all that, didn't you?
Thanks Webster...I always say I am going to make a list but then I forgot until I am sitting in the waiting room :).
ReplyDeleteGo it alone. That's not stubborn. If that's your way, that's your way.
ReplyDeleteI envy you the going to college. I wish I could just go back. I understand dropping the course but History of Fashion sounds great to me right about now. Enjoy yourself all semester!
