Hi all
I’m new here, just wanted to say hello and tell you a bit about myself
I’m 47 and was dx with Chronic Migraines in 2012 and have been on preventative meds since (unsuccessfully), on top of that I’m being treated for depression.
As I look more at my symptoms I think they have a lot in common with MS and am starting to think it could be the cause of my problems. The various meds I’ve been on never seem to work and I’m starting to believe I’m only treating a symptom and not the cause.
The symptoms I have for a few years are...
Fatigue, even from the simplest of things, my whole body feels if I have a Flu.
Leg/arm pain and weakness.
Bad memory loss, easily confused and word loss.
Daily headaches and migraines.
Neck, lower and upper back pain.
Bladder problems.
Hand tremors that my wife thinks I have had on and off for about 15 years.
Pain at the back of my eyes, blurry and occasional double vision, light sensitivity.
I was at the opticians recently and they said when I collect my glasses next week there'll be a letter for my PCP something about inflamed eyeball
I'm feeling a bit low and worn out at the moment, and just have the feeling if I go back with this list of complaints, my PCP is going to think I’m either a hypochondriac or put it down to my depression.
Anyway that's me at the moment, looking forward to meeting you all, and finding my way around MSW.
All the best
