I read "SNOWDROPS" entry on "How long flairs." It prompted a new couple of new questions. Of those who responded are on medication? I was dx'd two years ago and have been on Rebif 44 for a year.
I am in the middle of a flair. I have ON, (permenantly missing upper half of rt. eye.) I have weakness of the legs and can't stand. Each flair has been accompanied by what I have termed "brain shocks." It feels like a rod is being run diagonally through my brain accompanied by and electric shock in one of the hemispheres of my brain.
Usually I get 3 - 5 of these per episode. I have discussed these with my Neuro who seems to blow them off. Yesterday I was driving to the local grocery when I experenced 5 - 8 shocks, one after the other over about 5 sec. I also had blindness in the rt. eye for the same time. By the time I could pull over it was gone.
Any one else on medications still having flairs and brain shocks? My flairs only last 3 to 4 weeks. Guess I'm lucky. J.
