My MS hit me out of nowhere on Oct 5, 2011. Ive had MS for 20 yrs and had small flares over the years until then. I worked midnights at the hospital doing 12 hour shifts. On my last rounds of vitals at 5am, I went to get up out of my chair and fell to the floor. I got up and sat down for a minute to collect myself and got up again and fell to the floor again. I couldnt walk well, very dizzy and legs didnt want to hold me up. Somehow I was able to finish my shift and make it home. I fell a total of 7 times that morning and dh ran me to ER. Flare in Oct and again in Dec. Im now disabled. Using walker and cane and motorized carts in stores. Overnight I went from working full time to barely able to walk. I thought after all those years maybe I'd be spared, but no. Random is right!
