Well heck, thought I was gonna have a good day. no major aches or pains, just the usual and now I am havin some sight issues, feel like I got lotion in my eyes or something. dont have any eye drops but gotta feelin they wouldnt help. I guess this is kinda good though cause I have my MRIs in the morning. spent just about all day on here yesterday doin some research, looking at the "symptoms list" topic that I posted (thanks so much everyone for replying!) Last night I made a list of the symptoms I have off that list so here they go......some of them I named....for how the feel to me...hope you can understand...lol

1) "creepy crawlies" legs and arms and sometimes torso

2)blurred vision and "big" right eye (feels bigger than left...odd huh?)

3)left foot drop  (have to kinda march so I don't trip  he he)

4) chronic fatigue

5) numbness   (left foot and hand)

6)urinary retention  (straight cath periodically)

7) muscle spasms

8) "zaps"  (electrical feelings, almost always in spine, but can get them  anywhere)

9) difficulty with fine motor skills (gripping, mostly in left hand)

10)short term memory loss

11) difficulty articulating ( have soooo much trouble remembering words that should be familiar)

12) heat sensitivity (especially at night , makes rls worse)

13) dizziness and vertigo

14) cold feet and hands  (feet freeze, cant get warm for anything usually stick my socks in the microwave)

15) allergies and sinus problems ( get sinus infections 3-4 times a year)

16) motion sickness

17) poor balance

18) muscle stiffness and pain

19) shakes ( usually just hands , but have had full body before)

20) eyes shaking (really weird, only happened once so far)

21)visual disturbances ( see things in peripherial vision, lights, stars, squiggles)

22) profound hypotension with anestethsia (spent hours in recovery after surgery last year)

23) insomnia (omg omg omg...horrrrrrible)

24) hearing loss (left ear, didnt know I had it till neuro tested me)

26) IBS, GERD, diverticulosis

27) migraines

28) positive test for epstein-barr

29) shingles

30) sciatic nerve pain left leg

 

I guess thats all for now, my vision has cleared up!!!!!smiley-laughing.gif  (took 4 tylenol and strapped an ice pack to my forehead...hmmmmm) and my left foot fell asleep smiley-yell.gif dang it!  I can't win for losing!!! lol but at least now I can see what Im doin   lmao 

I know all the symptoms listed are not "typical" MS, some I have read in books or articles on line,and most after reading everyones posts.....they seem typical for us!  

BTW   I am sooooooooo happy to be one of "us"  you guys rock!!!!!!!smiley-kiss.gif

Al lot of those things sound v.familiar: Ihave sore eye-feels\"foreign\", but that\'s result of falling over & spec. going into the eye-giving me supra-orbital neuritis(which is super cool - as I already have infra-orbital neuritis, from an op. gone wrong! The short term-memory loss and concentration(poor) I know (I had a stroke: took 7 yrs to become fluent in English again!)That is so frustrating I realize - younger d. used to finish my sentences for me-and sometimes got it really, hilariously wrong!- I was told it would be up to 7yrs. before I was \"as good as it would get\" - you may get partial remission- I hope so.I had eye-tooth taken out when I went last week to have 1 root & small front tooth out, & have had eye-ache ever since, It\'s \'orrible -do hope it will clear up -luckily I cn type with eyes closed. Keep up spirits dear woman. Jane D.
