LOL I see how that can be quite irritating. hehe. Thanks for sharing the funny story. I am starting to get used to my numb face and I think I may actually be ready to drive again. I guess since this is the first relapse since the diagnosis I freaked out. I guess I wasn't really used to the idea of a...

Relapse

This has been my first relapse since diagnosis. It started with just parts of the left side of my face going numb and it spread for some reason around my head then down the right side of my body. Left side of my face feels like I have been injected with botox and I have the most obnoxious ringing in...

I am sorry to hear about your husband. I can tell you one thing, I am definitely no where near that stage. I don't believe in suicide. I will always have something to live for as long as I have my kids and my husband. Besides, I have a dream I wish to achieve and that is to be a top notch Fashion De...

Oh goodness. I am glad to know I am not alone in that aspect. But I am truly sorry you are feeling this way. Even though I spend my time being optimistic and cry behind closed door, it is still better than moping around and feeling sorry for yourself. Sometimes it is hard to get through this kind of...

So it is just me here. My mom can't afford to come here cause she is going through some marital issues right now. but my ...

Still being new to this disease, I have been having increased Fatigue. Muscle weakness is getting worse. My headaches have moved to the back of my head and I have found myself to be more depressed and I can't figure out why the hell I'm depressed in the first place. I am trying to stay positive abou...

That was extremely informative and I will take all those facts into thought. I am not very smart when it comes to this kind of stuff but I will bring it up to my neurologist and see what he thinks. This has definitely been a huge help! Thank you!

Thanks for all the advice and words of wisdom. I sat down with my First Sergeant yesterday and he reassured me in a lot of things. Living in Fayetteville makes it hard to get to Chapel Hill, but my 1SG wants me to go there and get the best treatment possible if that means he drives me himself. He is...

In the Army and New to MS

Wow. Did not expect this at all after 5 years in. I had a migranal stroke, which lead to my whole left side numb and also messed up my right side as well (Couldn't write my name !!)) I was like that for a week. I kept going back to the doctors and they kept making light of my situation. I finally go...
