Thanks to you both. It's an odd anniversary.

Severe Vertigo for the first "attack".
Then settling in with partial numbness, fatigue (now classified as severe), memory problems...
Next major attack:
Post Partum flare: a month of fatigue after my son was born

Last major attack:
fatigue increased, numbness increased (couldn't write with my writing hand, or anything else...) and loss of balance.
With that attack, I fell and broke an ankle -- went on the major meds. (can't think of the names right now)

When I was set up with the IV for that, nurses and doctors kept reminding me of the side-effects (increased energy, appetite...)

I kept asking them if the meds. were actually working because I didn't get any of the side-effects. But they did slowly and quietly work ... about nearly 2 months later.

Since each major attack has been different; makes me wonder what form will it take next time.

I won't lose any sleep over it. No point. Just keep going

Niko
