don't listen to flygirl - she's high on meds


I went in to the doc because I was having headaches that wouldn't go away for weeks at a time. I thought it was related to a sleep problem I was having - he agreed, gave me some meds and said lets run an MRI just to make sure you don't have a brain tumor.

Turns out I didn't have a brain tumor.I went back to the neuro 3 months later for a refill and to tell him that my headaches were history - he slid the radiology rpt across the desk, and had me read it. That's how he informed me that I had MS. A year later I went to a specialist who looked at my second MRI which had more lesions, some highlighting and had me do an LP. That was positive too. That's when I started on meds.

I was so angry for the longest time because I felt like my peaceful life had been stolen from me, but now, I'm so thankful that they found it early. Treating early was obviously a really good idea for me.
