Hmm.. about me huh....
About me,
Male
36 years old in May
Minneapolis, MN
Married, 5 yr old girl, dog and home owner.
Diagnoses: Multiple Sclerosis Relapsing/Remitting and CMT (Charcott Marie Tooth) CMT causes damage to the nerves in your limbs.
Symptoms:
MS - Fatigue, short term memory issues (walking into a room and do not remember why) feeling like having a Hang over, Depression.
CMT - I was diagnosed with this shortly after learning I had MS. My mother and sister have this and I have a very low symptoms. Tingling on my right forearm to my fingers. Sometimes I drop things, but still think I am holding something.
Why Did I decide to visit MSWorld? I left work today and was out all last week. I felt sick with pain near my ear,teeth and sinuses. I slept for almost 4 days straight. (I got up for an hour to three hours about three times a day.) I started to feel better on Friday, but by Saturday I got an awful cough and have been feeling like I have had a Hangover since with today being the worst.
I hope to learn about being sick and what MS symptoms do with each other. I feel like I would normally be able to push though being sick and going to work, but I have been unable to. I am afraid that I will be out for a long period of time... again.
Last year around this time I started getting severe fatigue and started missing work here and there. Come July I ended taking a leave of absence in order to deal with the fatigue and what I learned was depression. I felt so useless with missing so much work and not attending some family outings.
This got a lot better by Labor Day and I went back to work. With the new sense of understanding my MS, work and life has gone pretty well since then. I have some fatigue but found that distracting myself with projects helped a lot. I stopped watching TV and Playing video games, and started keeping busy.
Well now I am sick and missed work, feeling like I did a year ago. Last year I would have bet I was going on Disability then I felt better. I am starting to wonder about what will happen now.
My feeling of having a hang over I found today was a symptom of MS. I have had issues with pain with my sinuses but according to Dr.s it is not severe. I have been dealing with this for many years now and wonder if this pain will now be my first MS pain. I have been fortunate not to have any pain and am praying that this is not what I will have to deal with forever!
MS World asked me to tell you about myself so, there ya go.
