Guest guest Posted December 24, 2003 Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 Hi, My name is . I was first diagnosed in January of 2001. Another Neurologist later reversed that diagnosis. After having massive amounts of problems ranging from memory loss, speech problems, lack of coordination, permanent losing almost all feeling in my right hand, vision problems(blurs and double vision). loss of feeling in my legs on and off. I went in to the doctor because my right leg became heavy as all get out and I was unable to drive. They did another LP and MRI and rediagnosed me. I have applied for SSDI and have been told I have a good chance because I have three of the qualifiers. Sharon asked that I mention that My sister and I have both been diagnosed with MS. Which I have been told is a rarity. Her neuro wants to study and care for us both but until I get some health insurance again he'll have to wait. My sister is in more pain than I am. She is regularily on Pain meds and has no cognitive or speech problems. nor has she lost the use of any of her limbs. she has 8 brain lesions and 4 spinal lesions. I have 17 brain lesions and no spinal lesions. I am 31 and my sister is 34. We moved from WI to CA when I was 11. Her neuro thinks that maybe the change in climate maye have triggered both of our MS. I am sorry if this seems to rant with no general direction as it make no sense to me now. My sister is married with 1 child and 1 on the way. I am a single parent with one daughter and an absentee mother. Well I can't think of anything else to write. Have a Merry Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
