Have you ever seen the movie Hocus Pocus? If so, do you remember the part when Bette Midler sucks the life out of a girl, so that she (Bette Midler) could become younger and live longer. Well, when you see her sucking the life out of the girl, that is what if feels like. It is actually kinda scary. It makes me moody and irritable. I also get antsy and have panic attacks sometimes.

My energy drains and I will begin to feel light-headed. If I don't catch it quick enough I will pass out. After that my ability to speak or swallow is impaired. Also my muscles will either go completely limp or seize up. It takes a while for me to recover, usually hours or maybe even the rest of the day. If I can sleep it usually helps me recover faster. I don't know if many other people have similar severe reactions, so I'm definitely going to see how others reply to this question!

It gets me to the point where I end up walking like I am intoxicated. I want a card that says I am an MS patient should I ever get pulled over since there is NO way I would pass a field sobriety test.

My brain feels like it is melting. My cog fog gets so bad.
