Specialist 1/27/15

I finally had my first appointment with an ataxia specialist at the University of Michigan.  I  went to the National Ataxia Foundation conference in Las Vegas in 2014 and they suggested strongly that seeing a specialist is the best way to go.  Now that I was able to do that I very much agree.  This is the third neurologist I've seen and though I was correctly diagnosed to an extent.  My first Neurologist told me he was out-of-his-depth, the second was too proud to admit she was also, and now this one has what seems like a plan.

I gave more blood and hopefully these test will yield the answer the doctor needs and we'll have a plan of attack.  If they don't have the answer then we'll move on to more tests.

For the time being I'll just have to wait and see.  But from where I sit know, I'm very happy that I started seeing a specialist.

What's Up - 1/15/15

Okay, okay so I didn't do anything for more than a year.  I thought I was ready at that time, I was wrong.  Am I ready now?  I have no idea.

I have an appointment, latter this month, at the University of Michigan.  They are one of the very few places that specialize in the study of Ataxia.  I am blessed to be located close enough to UofM to make an appointment easy to attend.  I've been poked and prodded a ton of times so hopefully they'll (the doctors) have most, if not all, of the information they need.

I'll attempt to keep this up this time.  For now I'm going to shoot for one short post a month. (Tough, I know)  If I'm able to do that, maybe I can do more.
