I'm completely overwhelmed, and not sure what to do at this point. The possibility of MS makes me so sad - I don't think I have it in me to fight this.
The suspicions started a year ago when I experienced a 6th cranial palsy on the left side, leaving me with binocular diploplia. It took about 5 months to finally clear up. At that time they thought I had possible had a stroke, which landed me in the hospital (also pregnant then) and that's when I first heard about MS. However, there were no lesions on my MRI, so the neurologist decided it was a random fluke.
Fast forward a year to now, and I'm experiencing SEVERE horrible pain searing down my face that started with a cold. My GP diagnosed this as trigeminal neuralgia, again on the left side, and again I heard that this paired with last year's events looks a lot like MS and she asked me to return to the Neurologist.
I'm not sure how to even think about any of this, I'm completely overwhelmed. I don't know anybody with MS and I don't even know what I'd ask if I did.
So HI then, that's my little blurb!
