Hi everyone,
I was diagnosed with RRMS around 12 years ago and for the most part have lived well with it... other than a few minor, and seemingly seasonal, exacerbations I can largely live in denial Until perhaps recently when I did have a more significant relapse... we seem to have landed that the numb legs (from toes to saddle area) were likely MS related and not back related (as I had kind of hoped for).
I was prescribed Copaxone but over the years have become lazy with it (read previous comment about denial) so am basically non compliant. Feeling suitably sheepish now and ready to do the right thing for myself.
Anyway - this latest exacerbation tells me something has changed. It's new, it's more severe and it's after several years of no impact at all.
I look forward to learning more as I step into dealing with my reality.
Cheers
Ann
