Hi~I joined MS World in '04. Lately I haven't been on here in quite awhile.
I was dx'ed in 2004 with RRMS when I had a bout of optic neuritis, I was 52. I was put on Avenox for a couple of years. Now I have been on Copaxone for 4 years with no new symptons.I have been to 4 different MS Neuros. The best were in Atlanta. To far for me to drive.
Last week I went to a regular Neuro he new as much as some of the MS Neuro. He told me that I probably don't have secondary.
After he checked my pushing and pulling. He told me I was weaker on one side. He redid the push / pull on my arms I realized my left side is weaker. I then remembered that at times when I'm walking my left leg will all of a sudden feel like it weighs 300 lbs and numb. My right leg on April 7th became heavy feeling and numb like my left leg.
I am now in Secondary. He told me I have lesions in my brain stem from the symptoms I was demonstrating. I also am going into secondary MS. I own a dog boarding business in my backyard. It exhausts me no matter what time of year. I just keep doing it to keep myself busy.
