May 16, 2012, HOME AGAIN WITH ‘DR. PAUL’

Today is day 2 of my second bout with home IV steroids--Methylprednisolone (Solu-Medrol) 1 gm in 100 ml this time--from Home Solutions, 1 hr. every 24 hrs. for 3 days. It was arranged by Dr. K. at my April appointment because of the insurance rejection and due to the fact that it seems some of my symptoms are reoccurring. Nothing new, just the same double vision, depression, poor balance again. The sad thing is Dr. K is leaving next month, moving to NY. She’s leaving me with Dr. Carol Lippa who I’ll see in August 2012. (She is a very well known specialist, 30 years in neurology, written some books, quite a reputation in her field. She was the doc that led me thru the Grand Forum at the hospital in 9/2012; so we’ve met.) Still I will miss Dr. K. despite her comparative lack of experience, she did diagnose my case. Hopefully I’ll get something more from Lippa.
