Depression...and mice...!!
I just wanted to say this morning was a very difficult morning...I woke up so down and depressed...couldn't stop crying..and didn't know why... so I came online...and picked a few friends names and started typing..I let it out and just needed to be heard by some friends...
I got replies right away and listened to some advice...I feel much better now. The sun is sunny now and I'm no longer upset... I hope it stay that way for abit...
It seems like it might be from a new drug that I started ...side effects can be really hard to take..
now...as I'm sitting here, I have been seeing thing move on the floor..like Big spiders...or mice...scoot by me...?? I don't have mice...maybe spiders...no way that big though...also my side vision is gone funny...Probably side effects.
I'm seeing my GP next Thurs...if I feel down again...I will call him and see if I could get in faster.. thanks to all my friends...I LOVE THIS FORUM....AND FAMILY...
take care everyone...what out down south...with that big storm - Hurricane coming..

Andi,
If I remember right one of the health pages mentions the "mouse in the corner" phenomenon but I don't think it gave a thorough explanation. I too spent two months thinking there was a mouse in my house - I never did find any evidence, despite know what that looks like too! :-) My "mouse" is always out of my right eye, never my left.
Last night saw e a giant millipede out of my right eye - when I lifted my husband's shoe it really was hiding there - that surprised me too that it was real. Its that time of year with cool evening when all the creepy crawling things want to come in where it is warm.
Keep calling your GP an option for Friday in case you get the blues again.
Take care,
Laura

Sensory Symptoms

Many, many folks talk about their sensory symptoms on the Forum. I wanted to make a few comments to try and help. Whether I accomplish that or not, I will still TRY.
Sensory symptoms CAN be very frightening. Especially when you are experiencing them for the first time. (I know, I've been there.) Try to remember when there is ANY damage along the nerve-pathways, whether directly from the peripheral nerves or from the brain and spinal cord, you can experience what seems like really off the wall sensations.
The "wiring" in our bodies is extremely complex. ANY disturbance or disruption anywhere along that "wiring" can send "wacky" signals or sensations along that pathway. Buzzing, tingling, feelings of water running down the leg, for instance; vibrations in certain areas, even some of us saying we "see a mouse running along the floor, when there is actually NO mouse." When any of these feelings happen for the first time, it scares the beejeebers out of you. This is a totally normal reaction.
Even though you may be experiencing these symptoms, be assured that while you should make notes of these happenings to tell your doctor; please do not be afraid. Trust me when I say that after the hundredth time of these strange sensations, you begin to ignore them or find them just merely annoying. I am actually at the point where I laugh alot of them off. Like the hundreds of "bugs" I feel crawling around on the left side of my head, as I type this now.
These kinds of feelings used to scare me. In fact they used to make me very nervous and would actually make me cry. I was scared. I have learned though, that they are part of my neurological problems. While strange, I am no longer frightened by them, nor do I let them disrupt what I am doing. I merely chuckle and dismiss them.
Please take it from a old lady that has had this problem for a long time...there will come a time when you barely pay attention to them and realize that they are just a part of your life, as it stands now. I am totally understand your fears and I do not dismiss those fears in the slightest. They are real and ARE frightening at first. Please be assured that with time, these strange sensations will become nothing but a nuisance in your life.
This Forum is here to help you understand and help to explain some of the strange occurrences when you are having these problems in your nerve pathways...whether from MS or another disorder. We are here to comfort you and help you to understand that we DO know what you are feeling and will do everything in our power to try to allay your fears.
We are here for you. You are never alone. Many of us have been where you are today and are now here to help YOU through it. We really DO understand some of these things that frighten you. Let us hold your hand and tell you that everything is going to be alright. You are among friends.

Hey, you leave my mice alone!!!!
Just kidding, this has been happening to me for months now, along with seeing shadows on the floor like something has been spilled but when I check, nothing is there. If I remember right, Heather talks about this happening to her too.
Sorry about your depression, I hope you will feel better soon.
