Still new at this
I've only been dx since Nov. 07, with my testing only taking about 4 months. (I kinow--lucky, huh?)
It's weird, I can look back and notice a few things here and there that seem to have been MS, or maybe not. No way to tell, so I try to just forget about those and move on.
But ever since the testing for MS began in August I've had a lot of sx and they haven't let up since. Of course some days aren't as bad as others. I might be a little slow, but is this what the rest of my life will be like? Tired hands and legs every day. Blurry vision for 11 months, then clear for 2 then blurry again? Tired tongue (gotta be the weirdest!) jaws and throat. And don't forget cog-fog and jello-brain!
Are these little glitches always going to be there and be somewhat constant?
I had a check up with my neuro in Jan, and a 2nd MRI in Dec. 4 small lesions in my brain. Just the past two weeks I've noticed balance issues: I'm teetering left a lot, and can't tell if its balance, or legs, and a tiny bit of foot drag on my right. Since I was just in the dr office and the changes are very minor I'm planning on watching things until my next appointment in April.
It seems so odd that these sx were not there at all a couple years ago and now are so prevelant. I guess I want to know I am typical for RRMS, when so far (excluding possible undx flares prior to Nov. 07) there has been no remission, unless two days counts as remission?
