Then when another neurologist said it was something else (unspecified) and he could find no MS spots anywhere, I was back to the confused state again.<BR/><BR/>No, I don't want EITHER of us to have this terrible disease, but the not knowing isn't fair, either. I know why they call it "practicing" medicine.<BR/><BR/>And no, you're NOT mean.

Sometimes I worry that it makes me look mean but I'd rather be honest with people than sugarcoat things.<BR/><BR/>About the medical issues, I had no idea! No wonder it was so aggravating to you having to wait 4 freaking months to hear about the result. I can't believe they would keep you in the dark for that long. Surely they understood that you'd want to hear the results as soon as possible. That's just damned unprofessional on their part. I really hope it's not MS and since you're not symptomatic, that's reassuring. I only wish you had a solid answer for what's been giving you so much pain lately.Annakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01618621465298118846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25689012.post-62583033568102044452008-04-26T02:13:00.000-04:002008-04-26T02:13:00.000-04:00It is so hard to not have medical answers.

Mean blogs are ones that constantly blast people and curse all the time. Plus blogs that make you smile on Friday are hard to come by. ;)<BR/><BR/>ps....after 3 tries the only mean thing here is the word verification. hehe!simplypinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12509534412676772222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25689012.post-16926510407209852192008-04-25T15:21:00.000-04:002008-04-25T15:21:00.000-04:00i feel like i totally missed something...is there ...i feel like i totally missed something...is there drama in blogsville?<BR/><BR/><BR/>i kind of have the "direct" approach with people and issues too. i suppose i can be abrasive but i know i prefer when people put their proverbial cards on the table. can't please all the people all the time...<BR/><BR/>good luck with the medical stuff.princess sleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15089134046270139411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25689012.post-62792336804299753252008-04-25T00:14:00.000-04:002008-04-25T00:14:00.000-04:00kara: Funny you "read" that because I had thought ...<B>kara</B>: Funny you "read" that because I had thought of "...ask me, I won't kill you."<BR/><BR/><B>3c</B>: Within the next few months I should have a "better" idea, if that can be.

J...It is interesting that you bring this up today. Just yesterday one of my students, who is a rather outspoken and no-nonsense type and readily speaks her mind asked me if I thought she was mean. I told her that I did not, and that I found her lack of obfuscation refreshing, but that there are those who cannot handle the unvarnished truth, and therefore dub those who don't tap dance as mean. I truly enjoy your unabridged view of our little blue marble, and eagerly look forward to your posts. I haven't commented much of late merely out of a paucity of wit on my part, and a desire to avoid cluttering up your inbox with inane prattle. As for your continued battle with the medics I shall continue to think happy thoughts your way, and sincerely hope all becomes well soon.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09452924829161040975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25689012.post-63986370336886046682008-04-24T16:28:00.000-04:002008-04-24T16:28:00.000-04:00I'm sorry you still don't have a definitive answer...I'm sorry you still don't have a definitive answer, but I'm glad you finally got the results of your spinal tap. No one ever knows for sure if you have MS, since there's no absolute test, but I hope you get the closest thing you can to an answer soon!<BR/><BR/>And regarding people assuming...Um, I don't think that was me, but I know what you mean. ;-)3carnationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15942247215569463561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25689012.post-22157660428297832962008-04-24T14:52:00.000-04:002008-04-24T14:52:00.000-04:00If you want to know if I’m writing about something...<I>If you want to know if I’m writing about something or someone you do know, ask me.
