Wait..Ive got multiple personalities...krispysis and I are checking in (m)

February 6, 2006

both me!! I dont post often, i tend to lurk and read most of the time.

yesterday I couldnt remember my password, got all confused because when

i did log in my group wasnt there...you get the idea....once my brain

unscrambled I realized what i did!! Oh well...too bad I can't claim

krispysis as an extra tax deduction!!!

so..checking in...

I am 34, live in Kansas, diagnosed in June/July 05. Been on Rebif since

October ish...so maybe thats when I was officially

diagnosed...initially my neuro was hesitant to dx because my MRI wasn't

" typical " . I had another one done over the summer...the neuro gave me

ativan because I don't particularly like mri...and the techs always

tell me i dont hold still. Apparently the ativan made it worse because

the *%$** tech was yelling at me not to move my head...duh..hello..have

you ever heard of tape?? (the first mri i had done the tech was VERY

nice and just put a nice piece of tape on my head. Plus he showed me

the lesions after the mri I know they aren't supposed to do that,

but he knew I was a nurse, and I think he knew *I* knew something was

there!!. So..while I would like another MRI, my neuro doesnt want to do

one. I know realistically the treatment won't change, but I would like

to have a good comparison study with the initial mri.

So..current symptoms?? Muscle tightness in my legs that resembles

restless leg syndrome at times!, I'm pretty shaky on the stairs in the

morning, and I have a lot of trouble with blurry vision. I was trying

to start an IV at work, and all of a sudden I couldnt see well enough

to do what I needed to. Doesnt bode well for the future I guess. I

called the doctors office, they say start with the eye doctor since I

haven't been in a year...I really think its MS related. I know the

periodic double vision is.

I guess thats long winded enough!!
