Summer turns into fall 2022

 Quick update post:

Saw the neurologist and my spinal tap was clear of any signs of MS.  That is awesome news.  BUT I showed some muscle weakness with my right leg.  ugh

So, since we still do not have an answer for why my vision is still blurry or the cause for my optic neuritis, she recommends that I see a specialist at the IU Center for Neurology in Indy.  My neurologist said that they will have access to tests that she doesn't and that even though it doesn't appear to be MS, there is a small percentage that have clear results.   

When I received the call to set up the appointment with the IU Center for Neurology, I was expecting a 4-6 month wait to be seen.  That wait is in fact only 5 weeks.  I asked why so soon?  Depending on the potential diagnosis and symptoms, we get some in quicker than others.  (Some are not being seen until August of 2024).  Soooooo......not sure exactly how I feel about that.  

I will update again after I see the IU doctor.
