In early September, I was diagnosed with rrms. I'd been having gnarly migraines for about a year, when I'd never had them before. I was actually sent to a physical therapist for them which helped. Then I woke up one day and my legs were numb. The numbess eventually spread to just below my ribs. I was having other symptoms as well, tingling, dizziness, heat sensitivity, exhaustion, heavy legs, ms hug. After 3 ER visits, 9 MRIs, lumbar puncture, and a bunch of blood tests, my new neurologist made the diagnosis. I kinda saw it coming. I did lots of internet research about my symptoms. Plus, lesions in the brain and spine is a bit of a give-away. I did a SoluMedrol infusion series a few weeks ago. Gotta say, it kicked my butt. Lucky me, I spent my 39th birthday in an insomniac daze. The plan is to start me on Tsyabri. Now, I know people mean well. But I am so over the, "Oh, my aunt/next door neighbor's cousin/barista has MS and they're fine!" comments. Just, no. Stop. Most annoying though, is something my brother just said. Previous to all this, I was lowkey active. I don't exercise regularly, but like doing activities with my family (husband + daughter, 6). Think zoo, festivals, day trips to coast, parks, nature walks. But I mostly like to hang at home, reading or doing a house project. Considering all of this, my brother made the flippant comment, "This [MS] might really play well into your personality." ... What the actual frick!? No, actually. Being too exhausted to do basic household chores, play with my daughter, take a shower, pick my kid up from school, does not play into my personality. Being in pain with muscle spasms, a throbbing eye, and migraines, does not play into my personality. I was too shook to say anything in the moment. Anyone else have wild things that people say to them?
