Hi everyone,
New here. 39 years old, married, no kids.
Symptoms started about four years ago, but if I think about it, perhaps six years ago starting with hemiparesis (right side), most noticeably, foot drop after walking long distances and worsened writing after taking a lot of notes.
To make a long story short, I wasn't officially diagnosed until December 2012. Still have hemiparesis, fatigue, balance issues, overall weakness, spasticity (mostly right arm) and many more symptoms.
I wear an AFO for the foot drop and use a cane or walker. I can't go very long distances but am working on endurance with my PT.
As for meds, I was on baclofen and gabapentin for about three years but took myself off of them and feel better as they made me weaker. I started 4-AP a few months ago and it has helped my fatigue greatly. I still have it but it is loads better. Also take a whole host of vitamins.
I am hoping to get botox injections in my arm soon. Pricey!
Okay that's it for now.
