Hello TIMS!
My name is Arieh, I'm 27, and I'm living in Montreal, Canada, for the moment. In 2006 I moved to Israel in no small part because I was struggling for many years to complete my undergraduate degree, and I thought that my own stubborn behaviour might change if I were doing something else. It did, but that was when I began to notice other things happening to me (loss of sensation, tingling, loss of coordination, fatigue) that eventually led me to a neurologist and to being diagnosed with MS.
How long have I had this? How much has it affected me? What is a symptom, and what is something else entirely? When I had swollen sinuses, was my trouble breathing because of the cold I had, or because I was in middle of an attack, or both? Is this crazy diet doing anything? What about these pills I'm taking?
I am sure those questions are familiar to all of you. If not those exactly, then similar enough. Readi8ng through the forums today, I found this to be a friendly place, with well informed participants who are eager to help each other. I still have an able mind, and I have connections in the medical world I suspect might allow me to contribute, but I am in need of help. Please, help.
