New and unsure

[momistired]

Hi everyone. I do not know what is going on with my body but feel like this cant all be in my head. My most recent issues started with retrobulbar pain. Not a lot of visual disturbance, just fleeting blurriness and a little bit of double vision. I fell twice last weekend and my legs seem to be heavier than normal. I have had some trouble with swallowing ie. Food sticking in my throat. Combine that with aspirating on my own saliva and here I sit with pneumonia. I also have very annoying pains in my arms. It makes me feel like I want to shake them really hard or squeeze them. The only relief a get with my arms is coating them with ben gay until the beat drowns out all other sensations.

Looking back, I had many similar symptoms four years ago. Arm pains, night sweats and had another bout of pneumonia back then, just not sure if it was related to aspiration at that point.

I have appointments with gastronomy and neuron this week. Opthomology in two weeks. Really hoping for some answers.

On a more personal note, I am a working mom of 4 young children. I am the sole wage earner as my husband stays home with the kids. I am a speech therapist who does home health. I love my job but just don't know if I can keep up the pace with home health. I am scared.

WELCOME MOMISTIRED!!!! Great they have you here but sorry why. All I can tell you is that not all symptoms lead to MS. Is a role reversal between you and your husband doable? That may help a little bit with the fatigue. Hopefully those doctor appointments will end in some news for you. Good luck.
