Normally abnormal maybe?

I already have Celiac disease, but that can lead to other autoimmune problems.  So I did have one occasion of an eye where the muscles wouldn't work right and it seemed one eye was looking in the wrong direction.  It only lasted a few minutes.  It was late and I was tired, looking at computer.  So that could have just been a spasm, right?  Not MS?  

And yesterday morning I tried to get up quicker than usual.  I usually get up slowly, but I thought I was late and got up quickly and tried to walk.  One leg was fine but the right one had a dead seeming muscle and tendon in my hip.  My other leg could hold me up, but the right leg wouldn't stay under me.  I pushed the leg into place and held it with my hand, it seemed to settle and start working.  was that just temporary sleep paralysis or does it sound like I am getting MS?  My energy is low, but I am eating well and have good appetite, which usually means I am healthy as far as my gluten-free diet.  My brain is fuzzy, which is bad because I need to find a new FT job since I was laid off.  I am short-tempered when trying to learn illogical software, and it all seems illogical anymore.

In addition to the underlying noise, I also do literally mean noisy - I hear my heartbeat at times especially in my ears, the bones in my neck crack,too.  And please don't get me started on how noisy my knees can be.  LOL.

Thanks, Lulu.  I just saw this.  Funny you should call it being noisy.  I realize you don't mean literally noisy, but lately I can frequently hear noises in my neck like the fascia or tendons are making noises when I move.

You are in that spot right now that so many of us go through - every little hiccup and glitch in our body makes us pause and wonder what the heck is going on and could it be MS?  This is new, uncharted territory and we have no idea what to expect so we become hyper-attuned to everything.  

Our bodies are incredibly noisy and also have small glitches that regularly happen.  When we are extremely attentive to what is going on, each on of those appear amplified.  I hope this is making some sense.

Early on, my neuro use this analogy for me and it helped to quiet me down with the l'listening and wondering" -

when we go to bed at night and turn off the lights and lay still, we begin to hear the noises in our home. The roof creaks, the walls settle, we even hear closing car doors off in the distance.  We didn't hear those noises during the daytime, even though they were still happening.  Our body is a lot like that - the noises happen all the time, but we don't pay attention to them until we are thinking about MS or other diseases.  

The stress of job hunting can also bring on temporary problems, as you already know. I'm glad the gluten free has quieted your celiac. Good luck with the job hunt.

I hope it gets quiet for you soon ,
