Hei, I am a 55 year old woman who moved from Canada to Norway 10 years ago. December 2013 I suddenly was dizzy, strong headache in just the right side of my head (like a knife in my eye) and stiff neck in the right side only. Suddenly went from a strong and active farmer to a weak and unsteady old woman.
After a full list of blood tests, urin tests, and physical exam, I was sent for an MRI and they found many scars in my brain. The doc figures I probably have had MS for a long time.
I remembered having some problems when I was about 17 years old with fainting spells and tremors followed by severe pain in one eye and temporary blindness in one eye.
So here I am. No job anymore, weak, no balance, and a deadly kind of tiredness that keeps me sleeping around 15 hours on a bad day.
Life is not so fun right now.
How do other folks with MS deal with the unpredictable fatigue??? Some days I am awake like a norman person and some days can't get out of bed. How can I find a job when I cannot guarentee that I will make it into work???
Any suggestions would be helpful
