Sharon,Welcome back. sorry to hear about the flare ups. It is so difficult to know what the right answer is.... but I think I would definitely call back to neuro.. tell him you're worried and need to ask a few more questions. What are you taking for MS?? Is there anything that can be done? Increase the meds??? I take copaxone every day, since they can't seem to decide if it's truly MS or TM... Anyway when in doubt I'd call the neuro... just my opinion. Trudy
