What does MS look like to me
Multiple sclerosis is different for everyone. For me it’s blurry vision in my right eye all the time and occasionally in both. It’s the top of my foot being numb. It is not always being able to control things that my body is supposed to do. It is difficulty swallowing at times. It’s nerve pain in my arms. And it is fatigue there is so much fatigue. I was so angry when I got the diagnosis. I mean I already had two other neurological conditions. I had a flare and had to have steroids lots of steroids. It was the fear that I might actually have neuromyelitis optica and not multiple sclerosis. Then, it was immense relief when it was “just MS” it is learning to stop and rest because my body cannot recuperate like it should. It is fear. It is sadness. It is all of the unknown. But there is also hope. It has also been an outpouring of love and outpouring of support a reminder of who my friends are of who my God is. It is an avenue that will help me show better support to my patient...
