Hi,
I am brand new to this forum but not to MS, I was diagnosed 17 years ago, lesions on the brain. Did a bout of interferon and went into total denial. I have had symptoms off and on for all these years. I also am a diabetic. About two years ago I started to notice these little spells that would come on, they are very hard to describe, I felt funny and my sight would narrow and it would last for maybe a few seconds. I never knew when they would hit; sometimes I would have several in a day and then go for weeks with nothing. Ignored it and last year the spells changed, now I started to notice anxiety along with these spells, after a spell I would get anxiety that would last for days and sometimes up to a couple of weeks.
I am finally telling my doctor about it and they have run tests, but so far all my blood work comes out fine, my sugar is high but they don’t think it is linked with this symptom. Now I am in the middle of one of these spells and I noticed even my taste changes, everything I eat or drink tastes off. I am so anxious and I noticed I don’t want to go to bed at night. I exercise six days a week and one day I was walking with my mother and I had a spell and she said that she was talking to me and I had no idea that she had said anything, in other words I lost some time, it was only seconds but it still bothers me. I now notice that if I have a bad spell I do lose a few seconds of time.
I have been going to acupuncture to help with my anxiety but now I am wondering if this is somehow connected to my MS. I will be going to a neuro, my doctor has ordered it, and so I am waiting for that appointment. I will have a beautiful week where I am almost my old self and before I know it this comes back and I have a week of literally hell. Just wondering if anyone here has experience anything like this, it is almost like a seizure.
