Default Technically stable....but feeling like on a decline...

Sooooo.....I had my usual 6 month MRI, and consultation this week - and it appears that everything is stable. Same collection of lesions in both brain and spine. No new evidence on scan - dozens of old players, but nothing new and active.

SO WHY DO I FEEL LIKE I AM GETTING WORSE???? Yes, we had an incredibly hot summer, and I was sick for most of it, but still, after nearly 12 years, I am starting to think I may be succumbing to the dreaded 'hypochondria'. I have tingling, numbness and mobility problems that I never had before - I am finding my mind more vague and easily overcome, my body less accommodating and my energy levels non-existent.

I feel like such a fraud. Getting ready to start Ampyra and see if that helps, but I just don't understand this - surely, if I am really getting worse, there would be concrete evidence????

Perhaps I am talking myself into it - who knows? Embarrassing at the Neuro's office though.
