My name is amy & Iam gonna be 40 in oct. I was dx'd a mth ago w/ ms. I don't know which ms I have but hope it's rrms and I pray the avonex will put me back into remission forever (hey, I need to dream!).
Rgt now my arms & hands are numb. I used to have a numb torso (ms hug??) but now the numbness there only happens upon wakening in the morning and then goes away immediately. I have had 4 shots so far of avonex and wonder if I should switch to rebif cuz it's MORE doseage. I'll have to surf around this msg board and see if there's opin's on that.
I cried all day when I read the mri report. I had to take valium to calm down. I was and am still so scared as to what is gonna happen to me years down the road. My fears are subsiding as I learn more about ms. I am ELATED to be here @ msworld.
I have a 6 and 5 yr old, am single, out of work 4 a year now. I am happy to learn my dx because I have baaaaad fatigue and have zero balance. my depression was blamed for the fatigue wrongfully so. I have a severe hearing loss 'corrected' by my hearing aids. When sounds get on my nerves or when I need to really concentrate, I turn my aids off. Well, what scares me is, what if I lose my arms and hands from this ms and can't turn my aids on or off??? That thought freaks me out!
Thanks for reading this long post.
