We followed up with Infectious Disease, who ran SO.MANY.TESTS to make sure there weren't any underlying issues causing the lesions in my brain and spine. We also followed up with an MS specialist to get a 2nd opinion. They confirmed the Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis and they want me to start meds.
These meds do not come without a scary set of possible side effects and don't look all that promising. These meds do not cure, but simply try to slow the disease progression. Sounds like they hope to reduce 50% of relapses.
Thankfully we serve a mighty God and whether He heals me miraculously (Which we do still believe He can do and are trusting Him for!), or whether He "just" walks with me on this road (Which is really miraculous and shouldn't be taken lightly - that the Creator of the universe loves me enough to walk with me through this trial)...Either way, He promises that His grace will be sufficient. So we are continuing to move forward with medical intervention and continuing to trust for His guidance and healing!!!
Thank you, everyone, for your continued prayers, thoughts, help, and encouragement. I am progressing and slowly moving forward!!!
