New to this site, and sort of MS

[Chelz85]

My symptoms first started in early April 2010, my entire right side went numb and I could barely walk without holding onto someone or something. That is when I ended up in the ER, so I could determine whether or not I had a pinched nerve or a stroke or whatever it was. Well, I was in the St. Lukes ER for 7 hours, and the ER doctor finally came into my room with my boyfriend (now husband) and my mother sitting in the room next to me in the hospital bed when they told me that they think I have a brain tumor. After that I was transported to the other St. Lukes which is downtown in my town where I had stayed for 3 days then I got to go home for two days then I had to go back for a biopsy.

Sorry to learn that you were diagnosed with a brain tumor. Did you have surgery?

Also wondering, does the doctor think that you might also have MS?

In any case, this is a great site for learning about MS, and sharing your experiences.

If you have any questions, just ask and we'll be glad to help if we can.

Take care,

HOW IT IS GOING SO FAR...

WELL, I HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED FOR ABOUT 14 MONTHS NOW. I AM STRONGER NOW, NOT BACK TO MY FULL SELF.. AM JOB HUNTING.. WHICH IS NOT GOING VERY WELL. I KEEP APPLYING FOR DISABILITY.. BEEN DENIED 4 TIMES. I AM ON BETASERON, WHICH I AM SICK OF TAKING. MY DOC WANTS TO PUT ME ON A BETTER PAINKILLER/ANTI-DEPRESSANT. THE ONE I WAS ON WAS WORKING AGAINST ME.
