Wow! This thread has been really quiet.
MIGrandma, I also missed your post. I hope things are going well for your daughter. Our prayers are with her!
Hope everyone else is doing well. Things have been hectic here. Kendall is still trying to find an answer. They are back to thinking it is MS. They've definitely ruled out lupus. She saw an orthopedic surgeon who said that there was nothing associated with her spine that would be causing her problems. It is definitely neurological. It is difficult because she has no lesions on her brain or spine. The orthopedic surgeon told us that, although most people with MS have lesions, that does not rule it out.
The next step is a spinal tap. She has another appointment with the neurologist on April 25th. He may send her to Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville.
It is so hard watching her deteriorate. She is now walking with a cane. I pray constantly that they figure this out soon and that they come up with a treatment plan that will help her.
Thinking of you all!
I tried quoting your post with the other 2, but it would only quote 2 for some reason. But thank you so much for your kind words and prayers, I appreciate it so much.
I'm not sure who Kendall is, your daughter? But at any rate, my thoughts are with her and your family and I will send up a prayer as well. So hard to watch family, or good friends too, struggle.
