A Prayer..

[MVeronikas]

Today is my first visit to the Neurologist. Please throw out a prayer for me.

Thanks a bunch...

I have gotten MRI results from PCP that I have a 75% chance of MS. (Lesions on brain and spine) I see the neurologist next week. I have severe numbness in my right arm/hand and heavyness in right leg. Within a five day period I had pain, tingling, heavyness and then the extreme numbness. I feel like my arm is not really my arm. It is hard to use fine motor skills and difficult to coordinate arm movements. The numbness is so debiltating and now I have a feeling of extreme pressure like my arm and hand are being crushed. The heavyness in my leg seemed to ease up a bit, it is still evident but it seems like I can walk better (my gait was off but it seems to have straightened but then goes back to being off). What is really frusturating is of course the waiting game to get into the neurologist and find out what is exactly wrong. My main question is will I get normal functionality back and if so, when? I know it seems an impossible question but I am trying to cope with this and be able to carry on with my normal activities. Is there hope of this symptom easing up or going away and if so, what are the signs of remission? Any help out there would be greatly appreciated.

I am a big believer in the power of prayer.  I hope your appt today went well.

From what I can gather, each person with MS can experience symptoms differently and recover from them or not.  But, if it gives you hope my symptoms sounded very much like yours at one point.  I feel 100% great today, which is a tremendous blessing.  I have good days and bad days.  I wish you only good days!
