Patience

I am not a patient person.

For those of you who know me well, you can stop laughing now.

I like results. Forward motion. Action. I don't like waiting, ambiguity and unknowns. Yet I am finding that the process of dealing with insurance, physicians and treatment is full of waiting.

I still don't have a neuro appointment. OHSU doesn't have my referral yet, so I spent time on the phone yesterday with my PCP's office tracking it down. I also gave them the fax number to send it to so we don't have to wait for the post office to take it across town. I also scheduled an appointment with my PCP on Friday to talk about starting one of the ABCR drugs that are used to treat MS symptoms. I don't know if she will be willing to start me on those drugs without a neuro consult first, but I am hopeful that she will. I would just like to have some of my symptoms start to subside and perhaps start heading towards a remission.

In the meantime, we wait
