Guest guest Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 And I am pulling for those clients who already OWE you folks money to fork it up! Love to you, Akiba; now if I lived next door, I could AT LEAST bring over a pecan pie! Love to all of you at your place, n Re: Hello Hi ', It's nice to meet you. ) I'm Challis... my husband, , and I have four children ( is 19, is 15½, Jenna is 6 and Maya is 2½) and we live in Arizona. I don't have a dx myself, but I've tried to find one. lol If I think about it, I may be able tot race the first hints of symptoms back about ten or eleven years. It was just about seven years ago when they really started grabbing my attention and increasing a good bit. Right now I'm *okay*. I did at last decide to try to find some answers, and headed off to see a Neuro and go for a few of the tests. MRI, blood work, eval, that sort of thing. It was a bit over a year ago when my Neuro dismissed me. Well, I shouldn't say that. He did tell me the reason I can't feel my skin, among other things, is that I was Breastfeeding. LOL And he did say that I should "keep an open mind and find some happiness in the fact that I have zero chance of developing any significant neurological disease over the next ten years". I better watch out in ten years maybe? ROFL He also said that when people are told they don't have MS, their symptoms disapear. I'm waiting... LOL I've not gathered the courage, gusto, caring, whatever it is it'll take to get me back to a new Neuro and more testing... I've not found it yet and so talk about going when asked. Never further. <g> My Mother has MS. Clearly I want to be like Mom so imagine it all, I'm sure. LOL My Mom, btw, is Sharon / Wobbletowalk. She encouraged me to join this list about a year and a half ago. I'm glad I finally did. The people here can be a true and deep source of support. I'm glad docs are listening to you now and hope you get concrete and accurate answers soon! Challis dixmstx wrote: Just wanted to say hello. I don't know if I'm a newbie or still in limboland. I have had symptoms for 7 years with two documented exacerbations before but always had normal MRI's so other neuro never investigated the poblem they would just say it was fibromyalgia and that was it.In March I went to my urologist thinking I was just having problems with chronic cystitis, was treated for a kidney infecton, and ended up in the ER 5 days later unable to urinate. Imagine my surprise a few days later when the dr said it was probably ms and I needed to see a neuro.Luckily this time I had my Urologist and my Rheumatologist saying THIS IS NOT NORMAL. I have the neurological problems: tremors, balance and coordination problems, some cognitive, abnormal gait, blurred vision, etc.This is the first time my MRI was abnormal but it was "INCONCLUSIVE" so I go and have the field of blood work done on Monday and will go into my third week of PT.Hopefully when I see the neurologist next week we can decide on some kind of plan. The only thing that aggravates me is that I'm a nurse and I recognized the symptoms and was asking the question for years, "What about MS?" Still working and taking care of others the best I can soo I hope the MD has some answers.Thanks for listening' from Texas Yahoo! Messenger with Voice.
