Hello

[TammiS]

I am in limbo, but have all the symptoms of MS. My mom is currently living with me to help out. I have two cats that are disabled. One has two extra toes and the other one has only one eye. I am a teacher for 16 years, but I have been out of work for 3 months. I love my job and want to return, but can not due to my symptoms.

Welcome TammiS!!

Being in limbo is such a hard place to be. The not knowing is difficult to say the least. Have you met with a neurologist who specializes in MS? Have you had an MRI yet? What are your symptoms so far?

Glad to hear that your mom is helping you out. I hope those 2 cats are giving you some comfort right now.

Come back, ask questions and we will try to help

I have had an MRI w/ contrast. They found a lesion on my left side of my brain. My right side is numb. Today, I have no feeling in my right hand. It feels like I am being electrocuted. I am also off balance and I use a walker. If I do a little thing I become exhausted. Also, my brain and words do not match.

i have an appointment with an MS doctor of March 19. I have been dealing with this for 3 months.

I'm sorry you're going through a tough time. March 19th can't come soon enough, I bet. Let us know how it goes and take care!

I am also in limbo. I have one lesion on the right side of my brain and I have numbness/tingling on the left hand/arm and leg/foot. I also went through some cognitive, coordination, and balance issues. My appointment with an MS specialist isn't till June. I'll be interested to see how your appointment goes sense we seem to have similar symptoms.

I hope you get answers soon no matter what is causing the symptoms. Being in limbo really stinks! I've been here almost 3 years now.

MS Doctor

Tomorrow is the big day! Going to see the MS doctor at Mt. Sinai. I hope to get some answers...

Please ask if you can record your visit to refer back to later. There is an OMS support group in NYCity. The Tisch Center is about to start a phase II stem cell therapy trial that might be of interest.

Am sending you positive vibes for tomorrow and beyond.
