I went to see Dr. Shah, neurologist, at the Kernodel Clinic, desperate for answers. I was dismissed by one doctor as somatic and felt depressed. I explored the idea that maybe I was having mental health issues, but my psychologist was adamant that it wasn t the case. Anyway, a friend of mine referred me to Dr. Shah, she was a nurse of his. I m so grateful to her.
Dr. Shah found that I was hypothyroid and now that is getting better. I see Dr. O Connell at the Kernodel Clinic for the Hashimoto s that caused the hypothyroidism. I love him too and I love that my eyebrows have grown back!!! Not to mention that I m starting to lose weight.
Dr. Shah started me on medication for migraines, now I have a few a month instead of every day. I feel less debilitated for this reason alone.
Dr. Shah gave me medication for MS fatigue and today I cleaned my entire kitchen. I mean deep cleaned. Yesterday I baked bread and canned jellies. Sounds like simple tasks right? I couldn t do them before. I got up, got dressed and did my hair 4 days in a row. This is some miracle.
Although, I don t have a formal diagnosis of MS, Dr. Shah has been managing me like I do and is sending me for another opinion. (I m not on Immunosuppressants) I ve been told they can t diagnose me with MS and that can t say that I don t have MS. So I live in the grey area of Probable MS . I think there s something to be said about a doctor who treats his patient and not lab values.
I was suffering so much and his gentle care has eased my pain. The last visit I had I felt so desperate, I cried. I just want my life back. I realize that I can t just have my life back, but any efforts to ease my suffering is appreciated.
Dr. Shah has eased my suffering. Thank you, Dr. Shah from the bottom of my heart.
