At the time of my diagnosis: I was numb from the waist down, bilateral leg weakness, bilateral pins/needles (legs), bilateral vibration/buzzing (legs), tremors (both hands). There were other symptoms. Mine did not come and go. They stayed for the entire diagnostic process then, steroids and I still had a difficult and long haul. It took a year of frustration, tears, pain and fatigue to regain my mobility. Then I had my second relapse and it began all over again.

I'm considered disabled by my MS, but I only have one lone little unchanging lesion in my brain and a couple of indistinct spots, that could be from head injuries, old lesions, developing lesions or just who the heck knows. But the deciding factor for my Dx was the lumbar puncture

I received my handicap placard shortly after diagnosis. My MRIs were clear, my Lumbar Puncture was positive (o-bands).
