ent from having pins and needles in my foot in 2001, within a month it had spread up the left side of my body, dropped foot, then dragged left leg, then ribs and left arm were pins and needles and burning pain, plus vertigo when I closed my eyes in the shower...

Tried to be indipendent, ended up falling over and breaking my good leg, the right one. Turned out to be a good thing, accelerated test that I was waiting for from the onset...longest month of my life...

Since 2001, Rebif 44ml, amantadine (200mg/ day), modafinil (400mg/day), gabapentin (1200mg/day), oxybutinin, vitamin D (5000u/day), plus other vitamins...

32 years young..

How are you doing?
Were the pins + needles in 2001 your 1st symptom?
I hope that you are feeling better.

I guess considering the time Ive been diagnosed, Im doing well. Cognitive changes have been dramatic, memory mainly, but I adapt as well as i can. I am more active than i should be, Ive been skiing 4 times this week, I work full time, eat like a horse...

Pins and needles and vertigo were the first symptoms I notice, then started dropping my foot.
