The day MS really hit me, I collasped on the floor, could not
walk. Lost the musle control or my eyes everything was double or
triple.
Was in the hospital for 1 week and they came to me and said
"WE THINK YOU HAVE MS" (ME MS WHAT IS THAT) realize this was in
l984 you didn't hear about MS like we hear today.

They said we are not sure, but have one more test to take and
that will tell us. (that was the spinal fluid test) OUCH!!!!!
Just hearing (MAYBE,but seeing it on paper written is as definite
I feel you can get)
Drs. seem to hold off with a dx until there is no more tests you
can do. You seeing it on paper and not just hearing it also makes you
feel it is MS not something else that will go away. Because that is probably
what you were hoping and now it really is the dreaded dx you did not want
to see on paper. This is what makes it REAL

Sorry that it wasn't something else but it is better to know then
to keep wondering "WHAT IS IT, I WANT TO KNOW"
