I just read another thread where someone spoke of having a flair ... heat related fatigue, etc... I thought heat related anything was not consider a flair, just heat related symptoms.
I remain confused as to what a flair is or is not. I have had heat related double vision (6 days, two years ago, never since) and heat related fatigue and dizziness, and heat related back pain, and clumsiness, etc.
If I were to call the neurologist, he would tell me to call my general doctor or eye doctor for those heat related symptoms ... he never mentions the medications that I read about on these boards (and perhaps that is because he knows I am reluctant to take medications that are only temporarily needed...)
I still wonder if this is truly MS (benign) or early stage Parkinson's, which i expected given my family history.
I'll pursue the question again when I see him later this year. But he'll remind me that the lesions are real, the O-bands are real, and the come and go nature of these symptoms indicate RRMS. But I think it's Parkinson's ... and I still don't know what would constitute a real, not heat related, flare. Perhaps, if lucky still, I never will.
The injections are still burning, after three years... what if they are for the wrong disease?
