PPMS Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis is what I've got. How did Medic give it to me you ask? About a year ago I became ill and the local docs in Waterloo/Cedar Falls said they've done all they could for me and thanks to decent insurance (not ACA) I was given the option to choose between Iowa City or Rochester. I've been to the hell-hole of the hawx many times, the mileage is about the same so, uh yeah. I'll take Mayo, thank you very much. (But what about Medic and bullmarket? I'm getting to that)
About six months ago I finally spoke to Medic about my condition & symptoms, remembering that he had basically saved Mrs. bull's wife's life a few years back from a nasty post-op infection and, based on that I spoke with him at length. He recommended I get the docs @ Mayo to refer a Neurologist (which they did) and investigate a condition known as cauda equina BUT not only did the first guy rule out Medic's idea, after 2 more MRI's and a 'spinal tap', now suddenly I'm told I have MS. This was a sudden shock of course.
In Medic's defense he was doing this all gratis & by phone and all of the above is my feeble attempt to make "lemonade out of lemons". I suppose you get what you pay for...
