Hello there! I got this info from neurology now. I have also joined BT. I was diagnoised in Nov of 05. I had foot drop prior to all this. Went to one neuro, was told my foot would come back all the way or only part. On my 49th birthday is when I started having some symtoms, call the first neuro & was told to go to the er. All righty then! Went to my regular doc showed him the MRi report & said send me to some one else. By that time I was numb from my waist down left side, both feet & constant tingling in my feet. After every possible test I was told yep you have MS. What a blow it was. I have four kids, 3girls, 1 boy. All grown up & have grandkids too. I use Avonex, & that took awhile to get use too. I still have my days where I'm like lord do I have too. I do. I can still walk, had some trouble in the begining, but things have come back. I am still working, I drive truck for a living. It helps me, & I agree about the heat. Thank you all for being here.
