@helenlodahl One more note I want to pass along to you is the guide to getting the most out of your initial appointment with the doctors at Mayo Clinic.

Which Mayo Campus did you chose to visit? Please let us know when you get an appointment. So many of our members are familiar with the 3 Clinics and would be more than happy give you tips for travel, lodging, food, etc. Mayo Clinic also has a fantastic Concierge service to help as well.
Good luck to you! Lori.

Thank you for the information Lori. I live in the Pacific Northwest, so I chose the Arizona location. I'm looking forward to getting an appointment. I am truly terrified about losing the use of my legs. I don't want to go to a doctor who is going to say "here, take this pill." I have tried many medications, and I've had reactions to all of them. I am very sensitive to medications, therefore, I am not currently taking any meds. I have lead a very healthy lifestyle since being diagnosed in 1996. I think that has helped me, but now I can't live that same lifestyle. I'm frustrated and scared. I just don't know where to go from here. I'm hoping Mayo Clinic can help me.
