Hey guys how are you... i guess i can start my introduction by telling you my story
In 2008 i deployed as part of the crew of the U.S.S San Antonio while i was serving in the navy. Towards the middle of this deployment i began to experience blurred vision, numbess and tingling of the hands, doctors onboard ship could not figure out what was wrong with me. blood work after blood work and no clue. after about two months it went away. We returned home in march of 2009 no more problem i thought everything was fine, in november of 2009 i again began to experience symptoms only this time there no blurred vision, just loss of strentgth and feeling. This time due to ship crew rotations we had a new doc onboard, she took an interest in what was wrong with me. after more blood work and no clues she sent me for an MRI. A few days later she reveals to me that the MRI showed lesions in my brain and she had already set up a neurology appointment. this doc performed a lumbar puncture right away, a few days later it was confirmed that i had MS. I started medication right away with avonex and six months after my diagnosis the Navy put me out on medical, i miss it everyday. now once i got home i began to see a new doctor at the va hospital, about a year after i came home i began to experience what my doc has called injection depression, i stopped my meds altogether for about six months maybe more. after a lot of butt chewings by my doc we went with a new treatment and im currently on gylenia. thats pretty much my MS story
I guess what i want to accomplish here is this. thank god i have not had any exhaserbations (yes i know i probably butchered that word) in the three years since my diagnosis, however for one my optic nerve in my right has some damaged which has caused me to have to teach myself to be left eye dominant when it comes to shooting, i currently work as a security contractor for department of homeland security. as for my eye sight is there anything that can be done since my chosen profession has been law enforcement which is what im trying to get into
2 i currently have one daughter and another child on the way, should we be worried about either of them possibly developing ms since i have it
and 3 what are other, better treatments has anyone done any research on HGH in MS patients
thank you for those who chose to read my post i know it was long
Thanks again
