About Me: Female, 45, Vacaville, CA, member since Nov 2007
I'm 40 years old, married and have a 15 year old son. I can trace my MS symptoms back about 10 years-didn't think there were related or signifigant at the time they occured, only now do I see the connection. I was hospitalized in Feb. 2007 for numbness and tingling on
...
[More] my right side with weakness and trouble walking. Blood work came back normal and first MRI was negative-but the second MRI-the one with the contrast and of my brainstem did show a "glow spot." "you're not suppost to have a glow spot!!!"-according to the neurologist. In March 2007 I had a failed LP.....Anyway long story short-hopefully next week we'll have some definative answers after another LP attempt. At least iI have a really good PCP that is treating me as if I do have MS. I do have some lingering affect from my bought in Feb.: weakness on the right side, cognitive diffuculties (and not just CRS either), heat intolerance, tingling and prickling of the skin, muscle tremor/spasms, "cold and hot" spots, walking difficulties at times and a few others too. I have been and RN for over 20 years-and I'll never be able to go back to beside/hospital nursing.
