Regroup...

I need to regroup.  I need your assistance.  With as fast as people are coming to the board, I cannot keep up with everyone.  So I'd like to ask, maybe it would be easier for all of us, if we could list our "forum names;" "diagnosed or undiagnosed;" and if not MS, then what your doctors are saying that you have.  If you would like, also put your age if you feel comfortable doing so, so it can give us all an idea just by looking, what "age group" these symptoms and diagnosis are affecting.

I'll start....

Sam1106- Sammy 22 (am I the youngest on here?) England  Diagnosed 2006.

Started having symptoms 4 months after my daughter was born in 05, I have had 7 relapses since so now I'm on Rebif which seems to be helping. I still go to work 6 days a week I don't like it to get me down. My neuro has strongly advised me not to have any more children, I was pretty gutted but now I have just accepted it.

slightlybroken    34 years old (35 on the 24th)  un-DX

I have 2-3mm lesions in the white matter of my brain. Neuro says they're non-specific. Neuro also noted "something" in my cervical spine but he says too small to see. They were done on a 1.3T machine. I'm going to a better doc and a better machine this month. (I'm crossing my fingers).

My sx started in to full gear last year (8/2007-curren)t but I could have had an isolated incident back in 12/1998 when I woke up with slurred speach, no gag reflex on one side, weakness, numbness, confusion, and one eye was "sluggish" to react to the light. My main complaints now are, muscle spasms, left sided weakness, numbness, double vision, shaky legs, burning sensations, heat sensitivity. I have hyper- reflexes on the left side.

3/2008 dx with eye muscle weakness causing my double vision.
