Wonderful Welcome

[Guest guest]

I want to thank each and everyone of you for the warm welcome I have received from this group.

I will tell you a little about myself...

I am Donna and 38 years old. I am married with two daughter (ages 16 and 20) and a grand-daughter that is two. I am originally from Indiana but moved to Virginia eight years ago. I enjoy scrap-booking, sewing, photography, camping, and just about anything that has to do with the outside.

I have not been dx with MS yet. I have been dealing with doctor after doctor for about three years. I started seeing a new neurologist last week. I have many symptoms but no lesions on my brain MRI. This new doctor has requested every thing I have had done to me in the last three years and I hope he can figure me out. I have been told my problems are not life threatening and I needed to stop making doctors appointments. I have since changed doctors and I think I maybe in the right direction now.

I have a lot of memory problems and confusion. I have lots of weakness and pain on both sides but more on my right side. I have urinary problems. I have lost all hearing in my right ear. My muscles cramp up in my legs and mostly in my feet. I have lots of tingling in my legs, hands, and arms. I have blurred vision and I fall a lot. I am extremely tired all the time. Trying to do normal every day things sometimes turns out to be a whole day adventure. I have a hard time concentrating. These are just a few of my symptoms.

I am looking forward to hearing from people that understand. I think this place might understand, if I am not making any sense please forgive me. I have bad days but I have great days as well.

Again thank you for welcoming me into your group. If you have any questions for me please ask away...

Donna
