Progress!

I just got a call from my neurologist's nurse (Pamela Johnson), asking how she can help with my disability case. I described the situation, including that I'm not sure what evidence will be useful, and she offered to contact my lawyer directly so he can send her the paperwork to fill out, which the doctor will then look at and presumably sign.

Also, since I had her on the phone, I asked about my prescription for the new MS drug, Kesimpta, and she's going to follow up with the specialty pharmacy about it. It sounds as though they would be willing to have someone come here to show me how to inject the first dose, rather than me going to the neurologist's office, which is what we'd discussed last month. I told her that I had experience self-injecting, with the Avonex, and she said that this is subcutaneous, so easier. I said that I know it will be easier, but it is different, and among other things I want someone to show me appropriate locations for the injections. Also, it's been a dozen years since I was using Avonex, so I would probably want a refresher if this was also intramuscular.

Oh, I entirely agree. Having someone explain and show me how to self-inject, and then watching as I tried it with a little water, was very helpful.
