Guest guest Posted August 30, 2002 Report Share Posted August 30, 2002 Years ago I was diagnossed as having auto-immune poly-radiculopathy. I did not feel much pain or numbness as it progressed but motor function was affected. It resulted in partial paralysis of my right leg as well as a profound effect on the bladder function. I wish I had been more assertive when the problem occurred over a decade ago. I went through all of the testing for MS which, with the exception of the EMG, came up negative. I still wonder if my life long problems could have be avoided if I had had more aggressive treatment at the time. I guess I'll always wonder that but perhaps I have benefited in other ways from my disability. Kay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
