So here's a short update:
Went to see my neurologist on Thursday hoping for some kind of reassurance to settle my anxieties.
I told him all about my ear troubles. He asked about any new symptoms, of which I have none (yay!) and then he did the usual neuro tests…checking reflexes, watching me walk, checking my balance, hand/eye coordination, eye sight etc. And that was all good. He even commented on my weight loss and said I was looking fit!
My neurologist did refer me to get an MRI a little earlier than usual. I am booked in for early January. I asked him what my ear issues could be…his first response was "It's probably nothing" then he said the MRI will rule out 'something vascular something or rather'. Okay cool. I didn't even bother asking what THAT was, or trying to remember so I can google it (quite proud of this actually). I just asked if I needed to worry, and if there was anything I could do. The plain and simple answer was no. Just RELAX Sascha!
So it (the ear business) has been settling down a bit since it started, but it is still there.
I do feel relieved after seeing my neurologist and this is what I needed (M too). He is a top bloke.
Now I can just look forward to the school holidays and try to enjoy the summer (without getting too hot). Although, I have woken up today with a sore throat and not feeling 100%. IF I get sick, it will be my first time since starting Gilenya I have been sick. Not good. Not recommended. But let's wait and see - there's always fucking something isn't there?
