For the last year and a half (approximately) I have slowly started to lose my mind and mobility...my independance.
This was happening slowly and progressing month by month. For the most part I no longer drove, I scared myself and did not want to hurt myself or someone else.
I could no longer hold a conversation without completely forgetting what I was saying mid-sentence. When that happened all I could do is cry, I cried alot in the last year and a half. I no longer had any patience with anything or anyone.
I could barely walk...I would slide my feet. Breathing was becoming difficult. Everything was becoming very overwhelming.
I could no longer maintain my home, I couldn't do what I have always done for myself, my husband...my family. Depression started setting in, death was becoming more preferable...I was no longer the person I once was.
Through all of this I believed it was the MS and I was progressing at an alarming rate.
I now know it was not the MS progressing.
Everything I was expereincing for the last year and a half was not MS but the effects of one medication...
Lovastatin...used to treat high cholesterol.
I have been off of Lovastatin for approximately a month (give or take). The change has been amazing.
I year and a half of my life...gone, all because of one medication.
I decided to share my story so others
