Whatta MStake!
“You don’t have MS,” says the doctor. “You have CIS.”
CIS? CIS? Isn’t that a TV show? What is CIS?
The doctor tells me CIS is Clinically Isolated Syndrome. Basically, I had one “attack” and should I not have another attack, nor have any more lesions on future MRI’s, that is hopefully where I will remain. I am so happy, I all but leap off the examining table and into the doctor’s arms. I immediately start in with a barrage of questions. I am almost childlike and giddy with excitement, not having expected this good news. The doctor is very patient in answering my questions and truly happy himself to have shared this good news with me.
