Hello MS World,
My name is Rob. I am one of the lucky recpients of PPMS, diagnosed Nov 2014. After going through a few nuero's looking at symptoms pointing towards sciatica, spinal stenosis and finally a L5 disceptomy surgery, until I stumbled upon a neuro that was able to see beyond all of that. So as many know, ( finally getting to the diagnosis after all the testing) ...I was somewhat relieved that all the poking, prodding and tortures of wondering what was going on had ended.
Glad I had decent healthcare, I reaaaallly think we coulda gone without the back surgery. Lol
So fastfoward a few years, the docs weren't kidding....its progressive alright!
What started out as foot drop and calf muscle wasting in the left leg has turned into more weakness, all the major fatigue, wall walking, falls,canes, rollators, yada yada all the things most people here experience and or hear about.
Any way, thought I'd introduce myself to the community and say HELLO TO ALL ( a quick shout out) and express thanks to all making this site possible for it is quite informative and offers alot of... (I can relate) material.
God Bless
