Hi Anne-Marie
Thank you so much for your reply, it helps that someone understands what is going through my head, I don’t think I even know that at times lately
I had an MRI scan back in Aug 2011 because i had double vision from optical neuritis and this is where it was suspected I had ms because I had the leisions, but I had to go to Kings and have another one plus a full body one and a lumbar puncture. When I went to see my neuro in April she had some details but she didn’t have the scan results. I have just been again last saturday and she still hadn’t received them. I guess something in the written notes suggested I had mild ms but I wanted to compare the two scans so that I could see if I had developed more lesions. I also was curious if she could tell me how long I have had it. Will have to wait six months now as that’s when I’m next going.
The thing I was worried about putting on weight is, i wondered if it made your metabolism slow down or something. I pretty much don’t have any symptoms at the moment so I keep up my zumba and power hoop and its the first time I’ve ever felt so good about myself which is why it would upset me so much if I gained weight, especially as i feel well. And i was scared of going bald! It is a relief to know that no one on here has reported this. I must’ve looked at some dodgy sites. I just had a bit of a panic i think.
I do feel a lot better now I have had such kind and helpful replies and I think I will give i a try.
