Hi every one,
I have posted the same sort of thing before but a long time ago and I had forgotten about it really but lately I have been thinking of it more. I'm really convinced that I have MS, I'm not sure if the reason I have started thinking of it again is because some one I know has just died of complications due to MS :(
Any way about 5.5 years ago now when I was 17, I woke up one night with a dead arm and leg where I had been laying on them. Instead of it going it then spread further up my arm and leg but then went.
A few nights later the same thing happened but it was much worse. The 'dead' feeling spread to my lips and for a few seconds I was unable to talk!
Again a few nights after this it happened and the numbness spread to my nose.
With each episode I had pins and needles on and off all day the day after it had happened.
I saw my dr and they said that it was caused by a trapped nerve but I'm convinced a trap nerve couldn't have done that!
Also at the same time as this was all happening, my eye sight went funny and I had double vision constantly for about 2-3 weeks. I saw my optician and he said this was because of a lazy eye. The dr knew about this as well but said he wasn't worried that there was a connection at all.
Around all the time this was happening I had been extremely depressed and anxious with panic attacks a lot but I was also absolutely exhausted and just didn't feel well.
I am just so convinced that I have MS and that this was an attack as I have hurt some people with it can go quite a few years between attacks.
I don't really know what to do because I would like to know if I have it but then I also don't want to know!
Has any one else experienced any thing like this? Sorry it's just a long post!
