It was somewhat therapeutic documenting what was going on, for finding patterns and helped with Dr Office visits.

Outside of my wife people knew I was unwell because I lost weight (depression) and withdrew from social interactions but I didn't share it with any friends and family.

I did see a counselor which helped talk through some of it.

Anyway you sound like you went through the same thing I did.

Keep your chin up, I am convinced you will get better.



No I got new ones in the first 4-6 months.

Literally was wondering what else was going to happen on a daily basis.

I again would recommend staying away from an MRI with contrast.

Wgphat I have learned through this is to stay away from pills, vaccines and Drs unless necessary.

From what you are saying you don't sound like MS at all.

I was worried about MS at the beginning too but my Neuro told me I don't have it when she did an EMG and physical exam. She said an MRI would be a waste at that point.

Even though she thought I was a hypochondriac which helped me dismiss what she was saying I am convinced she nailed that on the head.

My fear of MS has faded to almost nill the more I read about symptoms and how it presents itself.

Unilaterally, one area and normally with balance and/or vision issues on the first flare.

Hang in there! Remember what I said before... Measure your progress in years and months and not days.
