Dr at University of VA called last Wednesday and said my MRI showed the lesion on brain were clearing of and to start tampering down to 20 mg on my steroids. Was going to redo MRI in Oct and get a plan of action.
Then they called Thursday and said they didn’t see that they also did an MRI of area C and T of Ky spine. That MRI showed a lot of inflammation and with the amount of steroids I’ve been on, that’s extremely odd.
So now I’m not tampering down and they have a scheduled a MRI of my lumbar section. We are also still waiting on my lung biopsy results from late July. The lung Dr sent it to John Hoskins for a second opinion.
So back to the wait and see pattern. But in the meantime my body feels like it on the cusp of going to sleep, tingling and numb head to toes. I keep reminding myself that this is all in Gods plan and timing for me, but I’m also human and want answers.

So very sorry!! Hopefully it turns around for you.. keep up that fight!!

@jamie72 You are in the confusion state of “wait and see”. It’s an awful position to be in! There’s nothing anyone can do—not your doctors, nurses, friends or family. There are several hospitals involved and that can be positive or negative. It’s negative when different people and places are involved but it’s very positive because several good doctors at good institutions are interested in your case!
What do you think you could be doing to distract yourself while you wait?
