I was diagnosed with MS almost 12 years ago, left side numb, very typical MS symptoms. Started on Betaseron when it was still on the lottery, did it for almost two years and just stopped it since I felt fine, not sure that was a smart move. Than about 5 years ago I started to have seizures, didn’t know it was seizures, I started with the staring spells which at first was just odd, and I wondered about it but really didn’t give it a thought. I would have up to 5 or 6 in a day than go into a weird funk for a day and than go right back to having seizures. Than just this year the seizures have progressed into loss of consciousness with what is called partial focal seizure. I was walking with my mother and I had one and she saw it and was extremely upset. I than realized I had a serious problem, now during all this I have been seeing my doctor and telling him all about this, he just blew it off and really didn’t hear me I guess. They had open up this wonderful VA center down the road and since I am a veteran I went in to see what they would do. I was given a wonderful women doctor and immediately sent for a MRI with contrast and to a Neurologist. Apparently the MRI showed some lesions but the neurologist said it was large and he wanted to keep a close eye on it so he ordered another MRI with contrast, so I have had two MRI’s within 4 months, which I think is a little much. I haven’t gotten the results of the second MRI yet, but I have started back on the betaseron, just not sure if I should be worried, I know for a fact my personality has changed slightly along with these seizures. I know that this can happen with MS but has anyone here experienced this? Just feel so awful, it is like this depression is really raw, nothing like I have ever experience before, I won’t hurt myself of course, just feel awful. Thanks for listening, oh by the way I cry at the drop of the hat, doctors tell me that is normal also.
