I have just recently had my largest flair. And it seems to have really zapped me. I have lots of symptoms. Fatigue, vision, weak left leg, odd feeling in left side of face , swallowing, stiffness has been here a while.
Is this normal?

Very normal for a flair or exacerbation. You might need some predisone or solu medrol. Good luck :)

Yep, I have had 3 major flares and loads of lil spurts of "stuff". Keep a diary if ya wanna be able to track all your daily ups and downs. It helps me. Good luck!

the flair is over and I have remaining problems. I just didn't realize MS could hit so hard so quickly.And as far as treatment Im seeing a new neuro later in the month. hopefully he will do more than my first neuro. ????

I've been on Tysabri Infusions for 5 years and still get flare-ups. Fatigue, dizziness, weakness, tingling and numbed feet and legs 24/7. Mornings are the worse! I wake up not even feeling like I've been sleep at all and weak as hell!! That darn MS 😠😑😠😑😩

How are you? I agree with earlier comments, usually the Dr put you on a 5 day Steroid IV of Solumederol. Not sure last time you were out here 9 this Web site.? Assume U have been bk to Neurologist. Hope they have you on the best meds. I guess when we MS people ask for a Neurologist,we shd ask for one that Specializes in MS. Mine is getting ready to switch my meds to Tysabri.
Good Luck, Gail-Maryl
