i am trying to not freak out. i really am. but to be honest, I just want to cry ... for a long long time. i'm sure tomorrow will be a better day.
before, my hands and feet were numb. right now .... my heart is pretty numb too. so how come it hurts so much?

But -- there is good news. Where MS use to be "diagnose and adios", now the major treatments have given MS sufferers decades of lifespan and much slower rates of deterioration. There are also potential treatments on the horizon that might end MS as we know it.
Most importantly you are not alone, and those of us here either know by personal experience or because we live with someone who is on the same difficult path you have just begun.
God bless and may you gather strength here and from all those who care for you.
Anyway .. the nerve conduction test showed that my arms are fine, but my legs have some delays. Particularly the left. whatever that means.
i am so frustrated .. not because i want anyone to tell me that i have MS .. but because i really was so helpful that she would offer some help .. but instead she kind of looked at me like i was wasting her time. in fact, she told me that you could yank anyone off the street and do an MRI and find white spots on their brain. what in the world?!?! and i guess you could yank anyone off the street with all the classis symptoms of MS too. argh!
My 1st neurologist has ordered a second MRI .. this time of my neck .. to see if I have a cord compression. He seems to think that could cause some of my symptoms. He also reviews the two meds i was already taking ... wondering if they could be causing problems.
hurry up and wait just drives me crazy~
