Re: a NEW MEMBER -- kntrick responds - symptoms

[Guest guest]

Symptoms right now are blurred vision in

my right eye, with pain present when I wear my contacts; this is the third day.

I seem to have a pattern of approx. 48 hour binges of symptoms, the last

being tingling and numbness in my right arm (prompting the nerve conduction

study). I also have ongoing paroxysmal tingling/burning sensations –

brief flashes of tingle/burn/itch that move around frequently each day and

disappear completely for long periods of time (quite benign, but unsettling J).

Oh – and yesterday morning, I had a

period of unbalance – I felt like the world was tilted about 10 degrees

to my right. I had to hold onto whatever structure was handy to keep

myself balanced – then I sat down and closed my eyes and felt like I was doing

a spin/stop cycle. I’m thankful that it was very brief! Is

this a common symptom? It’s not one that I recall my mom having.

Thanks!

Trish

Many MSers have vertigo --the tilted world you had yesterday. It is one of the common symptoms. Are you keeping a symptom diary? I would recommend it. Some doctors appreciate it, while some don't:) hugs Sharonjoin me on Facebook:Sharon Mars wobbletowalk@...This email is a natural hand made product.

It's very common for me, I'm always holding on to something.  Jolie

Sharon – as soon as I recognized the strong likelihood of ms I realized

the issues I’d been having were symptoms, rather than just age, so I

began a recap/diary. My neuro accepted and kept a copy for the records.

Jolie – is the vertigo mostly

constant? Wow.

Trish

[Guest guest]

Trish, for me, the vertigo was treated with Meclizine and/or I wasput on Cortico-steroids, which got rid of it! Vertigo was worse in the first couple of years after diagnosis, but has steadilydisappeared. A good neurologist is a real life-saver. Keepinga record of what is going on is an excellent idea, of course.Love and hope to you, Trish, and to all in our group,nTo: MSersLife Sent: Thu, January 28, 2010 2:55:48 AMSubject: RE: a NEW MEMBER -- kntrick responds - symptoms

It comes and goes...sort of gotten used to  it.  If I'm out at the store I always use a cart, even for a couple things.  Everywhere else I hang onto my hubby or kids...and then there are days where I feel like I have zero symptoms.  MS is weird that's for sure!
