On Sunday I caught a virus from all the people around me with colds, this reacted badly with my MS and by mid afternoon the only thing I could move below my neck was my fingers, also had the burning and pins & needles in my legs and hands. Was taken by ambulence to hospital, obs were normal, left in A&E for hours before admitted to a ward. No treatment was offered but thet wanted to keep me in for observation for the whole of this week. After 24 hours, discharged myself as there was no medical reason to stay and was taken home. After 5 days I am now returning to ‘normal’. This is the second time in a year that this has happened and last time I camped out on the bedroom floor.
Anybody else experienced this? Any advice?
PS With my consultant I have stopped taking all meds as they had little affect, his advice was to stay as fit and healthy (physically & mentally) as possible so when a cure comes I will be well enough to take it. I do take supplements Vit D, Omega 3 and fybogel as MS weakens the relevant muscles needed for bowel movements.
