I firmly believe my Dad had MS that was never diagnosed. He had so many other medical issues that MS was just never investigated.

Some of the sx that he had and things that he complained to me about now make perfect sense.

He had diabetes and heart problems. He had his lower right leg amputated before he passed away and never was able to use his prosthetic leg. Before that he used a scooter and a walker. I believe if he could have walked he might have been dx because his sx would have been more apparent.

My oldest son has told me of some strange sx he's had. They only happen every now and then....nothing consistent. But that's the way mine started. Looking back and knowing what I know now I can see that the strange sx I had were actually MS in it's very early stages.

Scares me to death because I'd rather my MS get 100% worse than my son to have it at all.
