Hi Im new here my . This is my story it started back in 1995 my eyes would just go black would only last a few minutes. I couldn't even see shadows. This happen few times a week for approx. 6 weeks. I did see a Dr. at that time she never even looked at MS. She said it was anxiaty.
Then in 1997 while pregant my right leg would give out. I thought it was the way my baby was position and I was extremly exhausted. It to passed. Had a few other thing happen over the next 12 years. Then I started in the fall of 2010 noticing that my feet would catch on the foot. Then over the next several months fatigue hit and hit hard.
Then by Feb. of 2011 one night after working I went to the store and it took all I could do to walk through the store to pick up supper for my family.(I can tell what I bought that night .) I still didnt see or think something was wrong until numbness started on my lower right back and in a few weeks it came around to my stomach. I now knew something was wrong went to the Dr.and she started to run testsand in one week my right leg went numb and was using a cane to walk.I saw the Dr. and she saw a big change she refered me to neuro and was tested two days later. The neuro saw me in two day after that and gave me my dx.
I took it very well it wasn't cancer on ALS latter .I feel blessed because it wasn't either of them.I reallized life is and always is changing. I'm ok I have great support from my husband and family. My mom struggles with grasping that I can't go like I once did. I use the slowing down to stop and smell the roses that still come my way.
