Default Greeting from Northern Ontario, Canada

Hello everyone!

My name is Michele, and I have been on a search for answers to some strange changes happening to me lately as the Dr's continue their search.

I am 52 yrs young, married with four wonderful kids and one great daughter-in-law and one son-in-law so far! Two of our kids are still at home attending post secondary school.

Why am I here? Well, six weeks ago while I was at work, I was walking to to cafeteria when my vision went bizarre and I walked into the wall! My left side felt week and there was tingling and pricking feeling in my hands and feet. So far all blood work is normal, heart & lung functions are normal. What did happen though, is my right eye prescription drastically changed for the worse but my left eye never changed. So, I got new glasses and within a week, my right eye changed again to the point that everything is blurry with the new glasses! The optician and Dr. ordered new glasses but I am afraid it may all be in vain. Also, for the past two weeks, I smell burnt coffee. Seems to happen when I am relaxing, reading, knitting, sleeping - it wakes me up. When it happens during the day, I get tired and have to lie down.

I am scheduled for a Cat scan this week. None of this makes any sense to me right now but something is happening and I getting a bit scared.

So, here I am....hoping to get some input and direction...share eqieriences and encourage others on their journey.

Michele

Hello from me as well Michele.

That vision thing must have have been really scary for you, and now to have other sensory problems as well, I can understand your worry.

Good luck with your scan Michele. If there's anything we can help with please let us know, and we'll give it a try.

In the mean time, have a look around the site make yourself at home.

Michele, I too am new, wouldn't it be interesting to find we are neighbours. I live in the Barrie/Orillia area of Ontario. I am hoping to find some answers on this site as well.
Your symptoms sound like MS or a Stroke, put your faith in God and know that His will be done. Please keep us posted it looks like many of the folk here are rooting for you.
