The only real extremely rare happening in MS that I've heard of was what I had. It only had a 3 percentage rate of ever occuring in MS when I presented with it and that was the Cerebral Attack. It comes on like that of a stroke. It's so rare that in most MS material it is never mentioned. I've only seen it written once and my neuro showed it to me in writing. This attack is one-sided, meaning it either attacks your right side of body or the left side. Mine was on the left. I awoke paralysed on my entire left side of body. I had soaked in a warm tub of water the night before because I was in so much pain. I did myself in by soaking in the warm water. If there's gonna to be an odd duck in the pond, it's gonna be me.
