Extreme fatigue, numbness in my hands and neck pain.
Judy Holston slight tremor in right hand electrical sensation when I looked down numbness came and went spells of extreme fatique.
Numbness in my feet and lower legs. I didn’t know it was MS until many months later when 1/2 my body went numb and then 3 days after than when I was hit with double vision. I was lucky that only lasted about 2 weeks however leg numbness remains to this day.
Optic neuritis, fàlling down out of the blue, pins and needles pain in hands and feet..
I realized I could no longer multitask. I couldn’t make decisions about which exit on the highway to take which made my love of road trips come to an abrupt end. Traveling was how I kept my 6 children happy and functioning as a family. It is no longer an option as I have had to realize that operating a car and a GPS just isn’t in the best interest of my family and other drivers. We would travel from Knoxville, TN to Six Flags GA, Six Flags KY, Great Wolf Lodge OH, NC, and VA. We would also go to Fort Lauderdale, FL. Not anymore!
