Wow, it's almost that time. I've really appreciated reading about all of your experiences. Of course, like MS, no two cases are the same but just knowing that there are others on the same journey gives me comfort.

I go in for testing on Wednesday and based on the results I may (probably will) have the procedure done on Thursday. I have SPMS and my symptoms have more to do with mobility than cognition so I'm not expecting this to be a magic bullet but I like the thought that I'm being proactive.

All the best,
Kate

Hi Kate-
Welcome to TIMS, and I wish you safe travels and maybe some answers at Stanford (assume that's where you're going, right?)
Keep us posted.
best,
cheer

Welcome to ThisIsMS. I hope that everything goes well for you with testing, and treatment as well if called for, at Stanford.

Hi, Kate,
I look forward to hearing of many good things to come for you as a result of this experience. My turn is fast approaching.

Hi and welcome.

I look forward to hearing how things go for you, as I am similar in that my issues are mobility more so than cognitive also.

Hi Katie,

I will be there the same time for my testing and procedure. Hope to see you there. We will be staying at the Sheraton and we are flying in tomorrow.

Later, Cat
