What an interesting thread. I can see the pros and cons of doing this. Especially numbness, which seems to have a lot of different definitions.

For myself, I've come up with some interesting ways to describe some of my symptoms due to trying to get my hubby and I on the same page. We're big movie buffs, so a lot of them are tied into movies we've seen. Our most popular one is "Jack Sparrow" days. I feel as disoriented as the character looks.

My mom had MS, and I'm carrying on her practice of not assuming everything is MS related. Which is hard sometimes, but my background with medical professionals has taught me to assume nothing. Very long story, but causes me to look for all probablities.
