Is it Old Age or MS?
Glad to hear from someone else with PPMS. My symptoms (balance primarily) of "aging way too early" for my age/activity level, lead me to a neurologist, who diagnosed me with PPMS July 2008. My diagnosis has lead me to exercise more and to now use a heating mattress pad and socks to decrease significantly my nighttime muscle spasms (6 days after my dx, I sustained a T-10 fracture while standing to relieve a "charley horse"!) I'm not sure what tomorrow will bring (is anyone?) but I'm not putting off things 'til way in the future, nor am I being too stupid. I drink coffee (in case), keep my feet warm, stretch out my spasms in bed, remind myself I have a left foot, run in flats not heels, walk down the steps, add weights and time to my aerobics, downhill ski green & blue's not double blacks, smile, pray, am grateful, eat, sleep & take care of myself more.
