Acute Activity = MS Nurse Specialist visit.

Hi well that was unexpected. After plodding along for years with MS (PPMS) I WAS taken to hospital 2

months ago with suspected stroke, after they decided to do a full MRI, i got a shock they found NEW LESIONS on my spinal cord, which correlated with some issues i have been dealing with.

Nothing to give me, no point in steroids as rarely works on PPMS and as they said they have no idea how long i had the lesions.

so i was sent home.

Now have an appointment with MS specialist nurse who is coming in a few weeks the heading on appointment was ACUTE ACTIVITY, so assuming she is going to go through options although i was told there wasnt many lol.

What a shock here is me thinking after 25 years assuming it started 2000 with Optical Neuritis i was going to be just mooching along in slow gear, but lately i have a shift in progression. My bladder and bowel are the worse culprits, and fatigue is hard going, but overall in the house (tiny house), or bungalow independant i can walk around with no problems with my rollator.

i have care twice a day. Got a new doglet Blue who i rescued as i lost my last baby Bella who was 17 when she passed, i had her 2 years.

blue is 15. gets me up but wish i could walk him, but i have walker for him. he loves his walk at 15 like a race horse lol.

so well here we go again then. I hope you are all ok, and getting through it as well as you can.

Keep on being positive, keep super healthy, i am still 9 stone. I have a quick mind, and for 73 not doing too bad lol.

big hugs, crazy then ever chick. xxxxxxxx
