I'm Here... let the party start!!!

[ESPNchic75]

Hello Everyone! I'm Megan, 35, from Central Florida. I regularly play the role of Mom to an amazing 11 yr old son. I have recently reprised my role as a RockStar at my job (now that I feel better) I am now a Rockstar Mom with MS.

I received my MS diagnosis on Aug. 19, 2010. Frankly, I am still processing it. I started reading information about MS immediately after my first MRI results came back. The MRI was requested after I went to the Dr. complaining of electrical sensations in both of my arms, acommpanied by headaches and dizziness. At that time I was not complaining about being fatigued to my doctor, but looking back, the fatigue really started before anything else... Man was I dragging tail. I did not know then that there was a relation between the symptoms and it was worth talking about. Well 2 more MRI's, a few office visits with Neurologist, ER visit for facial paralysis and a Lumbar Puncture later- here I am!!! My first Dr. Visit for symptoms was a little less than 9 weeks ago.

I have a very engaged family that I love dearly. Even with that I am happy to have a place where I can go to gain insight, compare notes, laugh and I am sure vent.

So folks, I'm Here.... let the party start!!!

Well ESPN, lets party! I am also in Central Florida. I don't know how far you live from USF, but they have a spectacular Neurology Dept.
I too, had the facial paralysis (left side) wich led to my dx. Several MRIs and a LP, it was confirmed. Sounds like you have the spirit though!

Get tested for CCSVI if you decide that you want to leave the party early! We'll miss you but, to be honest, this party isn't actually quite as fun as it seems..

Thank you Bubba and L. I have been researching CCSVI and hope that it will lead me in a new direction. Definitely trying to keep the spirits up. Thanks again.
