Not sure where to start. I thought I had Parkinson's but that did not explain the nerve spasms or past history I have. I have no close immediate family, all except distant cousins are dead so I finally found a cousin on Facebook. She said she had MS so looked it up and 100% all my symptoms and hindsight explains my symptoms that all started 15 years ago when in my early 40s.
I am really getting bad in the past 2 -3 years, fatigue, clumsy, no coordination, sleep issues, stiffness. My wife and I are in the process of getting long term care insurance on both of us and want to wait for that to kick in before getting diagnosed. I did see a neurologist 10 years ago about the symptoms so expect to go back to him. Any insights, what to expect, what to watch for, what not to do or do. My current symptoms do not regress.
How do the meds help and I assume I should NOT wait to be diagnosed? Thanks, got know one else to talk to about this. My work as a programmer has started letting me work some at home some - and that is the only thing saving my job. I can't do 40-50 hour weeks if I have to drive 45 minutes to work every day (stress and sleep issues). Looks like early retirement for me. Thanks Rick
