Progress??

I called the doctor's office about 8:30a and the nurse actually answered. She confirmed she had my message and apologized for not having returned my call yet. The doctor has been out and won't return until Monday. She wasn't sure if she could consult with another doc or would have to wait for mine and I told her that I've hung on this long so I think I could handle it through the weekend. Since I have nothing planned other than rest I think I can manage.

She said she would email him today in case he should happen to check over the weekend and possibly respond to her so that she could call something in first thing Monday. I do know the fatigue has a fairly good hold on me today. I didn't get in till just after 9p last night and didn't get to bed till after 10p and I am feeling it today. This has taught me that at least for now, I have got to get no less than eight hours sleep--and currently more is better. Maybe, just maybe I will get something for fatigue and that will help me return to somewhat normal function.

Additionally she said she had faxed over the paperwork for my injection drugs and would check on that and get back with me. Silly me didn't even think to ask where it had been faxed---the drug company or the insurance. I'm hoping I'll hear something today at least from her to know where things are in the process. From MS chat I've found it took several weeks for others to get started. In the grand scope of it all I don't really feel I can complain considering how quickly (compared to others) I did get in to a specialist who ran the tests and immediately started some sort of treatment.

So now I have the rest of the weekend to do as I please. I think my first mission is a nap...or maybe wait for crowds at local eateries to die down to grab a bite to eat, then a nap! Other than that, I really really hope to get some scrapping done this weekend!
