Good news; bad news; good news

Well I got some good news today. I don't have MS. A brain MRI scan came up clean. The bad news is I have virtually no vitamin D in my system (3 ng/ml - minimum needed to not be consider severely deficient is 30-60 ng/ml - depending on who you believe), the lack of which can mimic MS. I am now taking 5000 units of vitamin D a day. Doctor says it will take at least 3 months to get it up to where it needs to be. More bad news - They found that I also have severe multi-layer spinal arthritis, which is causing the weakness in my legs by abrading and compressing the sciatic nerve bundle. I may have to have surgery to relieve it, don't know for sure.

Other Good news - my muse decided to come back from vacation. Chapter 12 of Mother's Child is coming along nicely, I hope to get it to my editors in the next few days. Yaaah!!!
