Diagnosed at 21 with RRMS, and it has been extremely mild, with only a handful of flares that have really affected my ability to work or function normally. 10 years later, and Im now having my new neuro double check if what I have is actually MS, or something else (my original spinal tap was negative, and she says my lesions aren't in the "usual" areas for MS)

I,was 24 when DX. with Relapse Remitting MS. I, am doing better now with the MS then ever. I was Paralyzed on Left Side, lost the ability to Speak, lost Hearing in My Left Ear, Severe Vertigo,that forced Me to quit Driving, Numbness, Pain and the Covers and Clothes hurt My Skin and Electrical Sensations,Blurred Vision and loss of Left Eye Sight. Now My Symptoms mainly come back when I am stressed or tired. I do still some times Stutter. I,still Cry and Laugh out of No where now. I walk however out in public I, hold a hand or Cart for My Balance and I use and therefore irritates Me.I, do drag My Left Leg a bit also.

I was 33 when the symptoms proved to much for me to ignore anymore. It was definitely RRMS when I caught my breath and thought about it and the docs said that too. I think I had MS since I was 15 but ignored obvious signs for 18 years and don't regret 1 day I ignored the fact that something was wrong though I laugh so hard I cry when I think about what I ignored. MS effected during various times my vision, my walking, my thinking and my ability to communicate properly. Body parts would go numb or I would go into an all over body spasm. at the worst times but I always found some excuse for what happened.That's what makes me laugh so hard. It never lasted so long that I ever made a doctors appointment or I found some excuse for my MS. I do like dark humor more than I should though
