I'm in my first semester of nursing school and this has been my dream my whole life. I've been suffering from weird problems since I was 15 (24 now). I went to a neuro. I have no insurance so I've paid for everything out of pocket. They found a T2 lesion on my brain. I go back the 16th of Jan to talk to him..
But until then, I'm so scared that I won't be able to continue in the field I love. My symptoms include, urinary incontinence, retention, bed wetting, fatigue, shaky hands, joint pain, UTIs every month that I NEVER feel the pain, forgetfulness, balance, random twitching of body parts.
I've dealt with the urinary problems for years so I've just learned to live around it, but this forgetfulness is killing me. Its only short term memory and just random stupid stuff I forget. But what if I forget and hurt one of my patients I'd be devastated!!
I guess this boils down too, Can you be a nurse and suffer from MS? Is it possible? I've come so far and I don't wanna lose everything I've suffered through and worked for to get here. Thanks!!
