Life is the shits, it really really is.Pat saw his GP today who told him he has never seen anyone with so manymeical conditions. He also said the MRI showed he had had a stroke. Why the heck didn't the Dr say that yesteray.........who do we believe?????Then he apologizedfor not taking it more seriously when Pat told him he was wobbly walking at times. This Dr will get him seen at the MS clinic.He does not have MS, but there is a new drug to stop/help/the effects of MS so may help Pat.I am beside myself, I can only vent here as he can't know how upset I am. I honestly have been banging my head on the wall. It is very hard not to want to take his arm when he walks, altho he is on his own at work and manages just fine. He told me tonight his skin hurts when he wears clothes, like a burn...sounds like shingles to me.....we have both had those...nasty.On the lighter side, I am picking Pat up from work at 12:30 tomorrow and we are going to take my Dad for lunch (I work later tomrrow) as it is his 94th birthday! That is all.

I had a spinal injury and loss partial use of my left leg. It shakes alot and feels tight making hard to walk. My Neuro gave me Lyrica which is like Neurotin and it was a life saver. Helps me walk and the leg feels better. Not sure if that is the drug your talking about but I think it also can help!
No stroke, but the symptoms are similar to MS altho it is not MS. He used Humira for a short while. Could be from that.
