Thumper's finally made her way over to introduce herself. Thank goodness for this thread because I didn't know how to jump in here.

I'm not even sure if I belong here yet, I just had my MRI yesterday and I'm waiting for the results.

I met with my NS while I was there. There really wasn't much to tell from past years. I have been so healthy that I couldn't even remember the last time I had the flu. I have never had a broken bone, not even a sprain. I have never been stung by a bee! The doctor joked that I was saving up for something big. I talked about the last six months and my growing awareness that something was wrong. I talked about losing my balance, feeling dizzy, tingles in my extremities, stiffness, numbness, and problems with my vision. She listened intently and wrote it all down. I also told her of my seemingly isolated incident of optical neuritis ten years ago.

They say everything happens for a reason. I am inclined to believe that. Or maybe it is just that I want to believe that. Believing, even if it is an illusion, is preferable to not believing in anything at all.
