Thanks for sharng Mscherokee..:hug::hug:

I had trigeminal neuralgia for 5 years before my big event that made the doctors look for MS. I don't think my PCP even thought to look for MS. I had no problems until the problem that brought my diagnosis

The symptoms that "count" toward my diagnosis started when I was about 50: numbness in part of my face, mild trigeminal neuralgia, balance issues, fatigue, etc.

When I look back, I've had L'hermitte's for as long as I can remember. I was clumsy, lost my balance easily as a child/teenager. I was always the teenager under a tree in the shade while my friends were lying on the beach slathering on baby oil. But then...a LOT of people don't do well in heat.

I'll always wonder how long I've had it.
