  • My first appointment was dec, then feb, march, april, and now I had a app in oct and will see him every 6 months unless I have a issue or change in health.
    then there more than likely will be no overnight stays, unless you tell them you would prefer to have alot of the tests done on one visit so you don't have to drive back and forth so much.
    We live about 125 miles from washington u so we drove up the night before because the weather was bad and stayed at a dury inn. Normally we just drive up the day of the appointment and then drive home. Are you far from the hospital?
    I posted on your earlier thread but it went to moderation. Take any tests and med records from her previous doctors. I would imagine her 1st appointment will be like mine a meet and greet and basic exam testing strength and reflexes. I took all my tests result from earlier appointments with other doctors but he wanted his own tests done. He did his own emg/nvc because he did not rely on the way the other doctor did the test. And repeated all the blood tests. So don't be surprised if the same happens. I believe your mom will be in good hands, just remember patience. I am praying for only good things for you and your mom.
    Hello! I am sorry your Mom is going through this. For a long time my Mom did not have any weakness in her arms or legs. She can barely lift her arms up past her shoulders and her muscles are wasting all over. Her shoulders are pretty much just bone now it feels like. In the past month or so her neck muscles have weakened and now her head hangs quite a bit. She has bronchitis and was just released from the hospital after staying there for 3 days and now is on hospice. Things are not looking very good at this time. Please keep me posted and god bless.
    I believe you need 10 posts on the forum before you can send private messages, so one more and you should be there. If that doesn't work, simply post a message within your thread asking how many posts you need and the good people of the forum will let you know.
    Ottawa girl - Thank you for the comforting message on 11/18 and the advice on 11/19.

    I believe my mom is on the same medicine for her thyroid (Synthroid). Good luck to you and thank you again!
    Amanda- you can ask Wright questions on his profile page as well. Just thought you'd like to know. BTW I have Hashimoto- never part of my Diagnosis- cuz no goiter- I've been on synthroid for many years.
    Amanda- You're a great daughter. So glad Wright was right there for you. Good luck to you and your Mom. I know it's overwhelming, but judging from your posts, you're one a quick study!
