When I Was Diagnosed...

For months, I was experincing numbness and tingling on the right side of my body, accompanied by double vision, intense headaches, and a shit sleep schedule. I ingorantly assumed it was in relation to the hazardess air quality here in Southern Oregon, and lack of protein. HAH. I hate hospitals and have not been in once since my dad traumatically passed away two years ago. PTSD is a real bitch. I live in a different state than my mother and sister, but they convinced me to see a doctor. After visiting urgent care, I was sent to the ER, where I spent 12+ hours awaiting results from my damn near millions of tests. I was so exhausted, my body was pissed at me. I was given a CT and MRI on the spot and of course 100 effin blood tests. By the end of the day, my ER doctor regretfully informed me that she made an appointmet for me to meet with a neurologist. What the actual fuuuu. My polka dot brain, neck, and spinal area made me cry for a solid .2 seonds and still .2 seconds at times... but MS does not have me, I have MS. It will be a battle, but it's one that I will win.

@jeslyn_mauriello , a positive attitude is good, but don't lock horns with MS, it is a formidable enemy. Consider living in harmony with your MS, rather than continually fighting it. :wink:

@Jeslyn_Mauriello

@stumbler I greatly appreciate that mindset! :)
