What a day!

...Had a bad day today. ....drove just under 2 hrs to the closest Cleveland Clinic remote office with an MRI machine. ....only to find out the appointment time was a bit mixed up. Then waited almost another 2 hrs before getting the MRI. This is my fourth MRI in 7 months. And for some reason, I had, not one, but three panic attacks while in this machine. This was not an "open MRI", though I have been in this exact same machine before and didn't have a problem. Apparently, I was having a bad day. It doesn't help that I haven't been feeling well. Besides the Optic Neuritis, am now experiencing trigeminal neuralgia, which is another neurological problem related to MS. I am going to try a different pain med (I didn't like the first two they tried).
Also, within a week, I will be starting MS treatment. It will be a daily injection of Copaxone.
Its been 6+ months of this crap, and I am really hoping to feel better soon on the new pain med and the Copaxone should help prevent future MS attacks.
In case you are wondering...Yes, I am having a margarita right now!!!
