I am in the process of being dx'd...MRI of brain showed white matter indicative of demylinating disease. All 'mimics' have been ruled out.
I have so many questions I would like to ask, actually, but have tried to boil them down to three. They are very diverse. Thanks in advance to all, for any replies!
One...I have had these heavy legs, for at least three months, now...they get much worse after I have taken my dog on his daily walk. Sometimes, I am afraid I won't make it home, but after resting (in the snow), I do. I can't tell if this is just a flare-up after some initial attack. I have had many other symptoms in the past, but my brain can't focus enough to determine if any if them were an attack. I had my first real attack about three years ago...I thought I was having a stroke or something. Since then, I have had many symptoms, off and on, one after another, it seems. Or, maybe some kind of a progressive situation...I know that flare-ups can last for months or even a year (or is that attacks?). Anyway...I just don't know which it is...thanks. Sorry if I am not explaining this very well.
Second...does one have to have ON in order to have MS? I had a bout of really bad eye pain a while back, in my right eye, and my eye felt blurry, but the optometrist, said my eyes were fine.
Third...well, my fuzzy brain can't remember my third question now...sorry. thanks, all! Love and Light...Jan.
