Hello people of the MS world,
My name is Hanna. I'm 18 and I was diagnosed with MS in December after having an episode where I woke up with what felt like burning neck pain, and then later the whole right side of my body went numb along with increase sensitivity and the left side of my body became weak. I went to the hospital and received solumedrol for 5 days. It was all really crazy and all happened during thanksgiving break. I really don't know how to deal with it I guess? The numbness went away but I'm still sensitive to different temperatures, mainly cold. Oh and I also started Extavia on Sunday. super fun :-)
I guess the reason I wrote here was because everything scares me and I'm looking for places to I don't know maybe relate to people. I over analyze everything and notice every ache and pain I would have normally just ignored. Which causes me to have panic attacks and such. I also feel alone, but sometimes when I read posts on here looking for comfort it scares me even more. So maybe writing one and getting replies will be better?
I'm not alone. My family is really supportive, I've got a whole village, but I hate telling them things like "oh my right arm feels weird like heavy" because it scares them. I mean they want to know don't get me wrong, sometimes it's hard to explain.
I feel like I'm rambling and such but this is kinda nice, rambling.
I guess in conclusion to this rant, I don't know what my normal is anymore. I have yet to wake up and feel good, like no problems just happy and normal. I also have no one that really gets it. I don't even really get it. It's a lot.
If you have actually read this thank you. It means a lot actually. It took a lot of courage to write this.
-"happy" Hanna
