Is the heat getting harder to handle for some of you. Every year it seems like the heat hits me harder than before.

Ramification of torticollis nonsense and what happens when you have side effects with botox . After my latest round of Botox that I have every 3 months to deal with the torticollis new nonsense I now am choking every time I try to swallow something or God forbid eat something. This is not the diet plan I was looking for 🤦 I called the MS center for some advice on swallowing or rather navigating the new nonsense and then cold a different neurologist to try to get a second opinion. Of course I can't be seen until freaking August. No I don't want to go to the emergency room it's not an emergency simply going to the emergency room cost more money than my God damn mortgage. Luckily if I eat small bites of tiny things I'm able to choke down some food and cream of wheat works but damn it not cool. On the other hand my husband made a really cool attachment to a scooter we have so that we can hook my Walker onto it so that when we go on vacation I can take the walker with me at the beach when we drive around. It's the little things I'm such a lucky woman to have such a fabulous husband 🤩 and yes attitude is everything do what you can how you can when you can and everything else can f*** off 🤣

Im looking for advice? I will be 57 this month and I met with neurology nurse practitioner today. I have spinal stuff going on that could explain my numbness in my arms and the tingling but what led me to them is my frequent falling. I've fallen 3 times in 8 months. Once in the shower. Second time at a childcare center because I work with behavioral children and I fell broke my wrist and I thought I did something to my neck, bit through my lip. Then several weeks ago I just face planted in the garage and broke my nose. The mri did show lesions but I'm pretty old to be diagnosed. Im not sure I want to be diagnosed at this age? Should I even pursue it? Im so confused? Im not one to stick my head in the ground but I also don't want to sit around and get worse. I have other symptoms and I've fallen many times before here and there and just chalked it up to me being clumsy. I could use some advice?

Hello. So just got diagnosed with MS after a 2 week stay in the hospital at the end of April. And the last 2 weeks on both arms in my elbow area at pretty numb to the touch and my left arm hurts when I try and pick something up. Not sure if it's related or not. Have to set up a appointment with neurology after I get a referral from my PCP which I'm getting on Thursday afternoon!!!
