Hello -
I found this site last week and I am new to MS , my man was diagnosed a few weeks ago and yes we are both overwhelmed.
He is 46, 25 yr Type1 diabetic , on a insulin pump , he also is bi polar. His MS was diagnosed while he was in the hospital having large cysts removed from around his spinal cords ( which have nothing to do with MS). Needless to say he has a very complicated medical profile, as I am only sharing the main stuff.
Many of his MS symptoms went away immediately after the OP in late June , but the last few days seemed to have returned with a vengeance ( partial paralysis on right side, stuttering/wrong words).
He is being monitored as they are not sure what symptoms maybe MS and what was caused by the cyst squeezing his spinal cord . He has only 2 MS scar tissue at the top of the neck and spinal fluid tested positive .
Due to being a type 1 diabetic and bi polar he cannot use steroid based medication.
I am glad I found this site to read more about real life experiences of this disease and see how I can best help my man.
We are both pretty scared and before the future looked hard , with all his issues, and this only added to the fear factor.
Peace to you all......any suggestions to a newbie would be much appreciated.
