I was curious which side of your body gives you most issues. I have all over pain, optic neuritis, spasticity and weakness on both sides. But the left side is the worst. Except for my eyes. My right eye is worse.

So, my left side is affected most. I was curious, which side is your worst? Or is it equal?

Also, be sure to take a look at Nahlie's post title PLEASE WATCH EVERYONE!! It is definitely worth watching.

As I said, mine is left sided, but I am right handed. As a couple of you mentioned, wonder if that has anything to do with it. Interesting concept.

MSKC I do have throat issues, they are mild but when happening seem major and very scary. But mine are due to muscle spasticity making swallowing, eating a breathing hard. I can get the air in, just seems I have to work so hard to do so.

tarabunny, it is scarey and don't know how to deal with it. Sometimes I just get sooooo tired after going to a party or having company and have to talk for hours! I think that it is spasticity and fatigue too with me.

My right side is much worse than the left.
numbness all over.

Mine has been predominantly my left side without question. the right is no picnic, but that is from other causes too so it doesn't count.

I'm going to be the one man out in right field all alone (almost!).

My right side is my weakest, and I'm right-handed.

the weakness goes from my face to my feet and is noticeable to others.

Ichoppel - you just started your post nearly exactly as I was going to!

Right handed, right-side problems mainly. foot drop on the right, more often tingling or pain in my right hand. tingling in my legs would be more even and I do get loss of temperature control in my left leg, but it doesn't bother me nearly as much as the right leg problems.

Great question.

I am 100% a Lefty!

ON Left eye, Drop foot Left foot! All my weakness and tingling is on the left too.

I'm left handed too :)
