and I remember weird aches and pains, and not being able to keep up with anyone in gym class, but I have no way of knowing if that was an early MS thing or just the fact that I was never athletic and was kind of lazy at gym anyways.

There was also a time when I was probably in 3rd or 4th grade where anytime I rode in a car, I would get dizzy...that went on for at least a few weeks. We didnt have a seatbelt law then, and I was laying on the floor of my parents lime-green Volkswagon Bus (where the first line of defense in a front end collision would be your kneecaps) If I sat up in that car, I would get so dizzy I wanted to throw up. We had that car for at least 3 years and the dizziness only happened for a few weeks one time.

It's memories like those that make me wonder if I've had MS longer than I think I have. I have no way of knowing for sure, so I dont even tell the doctors about those events. Plus, I've noticed when you try to give them too much information, their eyes seem to glaze over and they get a bit catatonic while you're talking to them.
