all I can tell you about getting the appraisals for insurance, is the sooner the better I have found in my own personal experiences. Good luck to you

MS is highly variable and despite having too many lesions to count in my brain, lesions in my spine and myelomalacia, google that and see if it doesn't scare the pants off you, I was able to finish grad school, continue working between 40-50 hours a week and recently ran a 10k in 1 hour and 7 minutes. I was diagnosed 11 years ago. Despite feeling fairly good other than fatigue, bladder issues and parasthesia I have no delusions that I have this horrible disease.
I had two issues of double vision in the six months prior to starting Copaxone and although the symptoms noted above no other relapses. I have no clue if it is thanks to the Copaxone or just good luck but I'm not taking any chances and will continue injecting myself every night until I have a change in function or a true home-run comes along medication wise.
Best of luck to you with whatever you decide.He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.

Life brings many surprises and challenges , and if this is one of them I will accept it and learn to live with it. I guess there is no choice, is there?
Thanks.

Hello again,
Two months ago I was asymptomatic.. well yesterday my feet started to feel cold and weird. Almost like tingling. At first I was thinking my feet got cold because the outside temp reached 7F, and I tried to warm up. Then I realized it could be MS related.
My app ( second opinion in MS Clinic) is in 2 weeks. Is it ok to wait until my app? I can walk and everything , I just feel my feet weird.
What do you think?

If you suspect a relapse, I'd call your doctor now, rather than waiting two weeks and get your doc's advice regarding whether to move up the appointment to an earlier time.~ Faith

Also, I've been taking vit. B12, and read that tingling might be a symptom of overdosing B12. Can you really overdose B12? I did not think so.
Are you still having tingling symptoms? If so, you may wish to try cutting back on your B12 to see if the symptoms are alleviated.~ Faith

I actually came here to post to let you know that it IS possible to have MS and not feel affected. I was there myself, until I wasn't.
I'm 43 and never had any significant health issues at all until just a few months ago I started going numb from my chest down to my toes. Went in for MRIs and discovered I have significant lesions on my spine (and just a few in brain). To my surprise, they are all old. And yet, I never had any real symptoms prior to this time. That means my body was just apparently living and dealing with MS for who knows how many years, without any real impact to me, until suddenly I wasn't anymore.
It's possible -- it happened to me, too.

thank you kw202
I started to realize that everything is possible. I did not have any symptoms when I started this thread, now i experience tingling in my feet, and when I touch them I get an electric like sensation.Very low voltage, but it is there.
Now when I think back... a while ago, every time I was sitting down, one side of my bottom felt warm. MS? Probably... Who knew...
I have a dr. visit this coming Wednesday...
