My first symptoms were fatigue and loss of taste and smell which lasted about six weeks. I then had double vision, vertigo and of course fatigue which again lasted about six weeks. After that it was optic neuritis, fatigue and vertigo which is what finally led to an mri and a diagnosis. Throughout this whole time I had a terrible itch in my legs that could not be scratched away and many other minor symptoms like tingling, numbness in different areas, Lhermitte’s sign. I suffered from severe migraines quite frequently as well which I now feel is related to the ms.

I bent over a baby gate to get the kitten. As I leaned over i got dizzy and fell into the garden tub, resulting in a gash in my head. The er did testing and I had a resident taking care of me. After a minute he asked me to smile and noted the right side of my mouth would droop slightly. So he said it could be a small stroke or possibly MS. So after some usual MS testing. They all pointed to RRMS. Here I am almost 6 years in and doing okay. Just seems recently I'm having more problems. I don't want to alarm my husband, but I feel I'm getting worse recently. Fatigue, having trouble performing AL'S, memory problems worse, balance prob going up and down stairs. Vision is worse. I'm scared my health is getting worse so quickly. I'm 47y.o. with lots of health problems. Depression, anxiety, HTN, type2 diabetic, obese, thyroid problems, etc.
