I see a neurologist in 12 days. Weird symptoms, going on for years mri of head showed t2 legions… Numerous. Something along those lines anyway. Had bloods, xrays, ect nothing wrong. Dr suspects Ms. I’ve td, the story in a previous post. I’m just so exhausted all the time. Yes I know I’m not as young as I used to be but this isn’t like normal tired. If I wash up I’m too tired to immediately dry up I’ve to go rest. Its, as though my whole body has done hours of hard physical work. I’m the same if I go walk the dog I start of OK then start to feel like my body’s heavy and I find it difficult to breath as though breathing is, hard work. I used to be able to dash around do alsorts but this past year its getting more noticeable I don’t sleep great due to hip paine and general pain so I know that’s, not helping. I’m fed up I’m putting on a brave face for my husband but I’m scared. Also I’m finding that I’m getting more and more forgetful I loose track of what I’m saying, forget words even forget what I’ve said or done minutes after doing or saying it.
Hi Paula.
So yeh, it is sounding like MS chick.
Depending on which type pf MS you have, there could be some Dmds ie disease modifying drugs. These are drugs which may help slow down progression. Many folk take them and really do feel the benefit.
There are also some which may help with MS fatigue.
MS fatigue is not like experiencing regular tiredness…which is usually remedied by a good night`s sleep or a power nap.
So the best advice I can offer is to pace your activities, take extra rest and accept help when it is offered.
MSers can and do still enjoy life, have a long life and be happy.#

Thankyou. I’m going to be more shocked if its not Ms. I’ve been asleep this afternoon. I am pacing my activities. I rest in between I just haven’t got the energy because my body feels like I’ve done hard physical work when all I’ve done is change the bedding. I’m. Also out of breath like I’m working hard to breathing breathing is tiring my chest feels odd maybe that’s the ms hug I read over. Its crazy that I’ve had things going on for pushing 29 years or more but more nota able these past 10.I had the mri of my head because I woke up and was realy dizzy falling all over the world spinning, this, went on continually for over a month then stopped. The gp agreed to a mri because my sister had passed from brain cancer and I was terrified I’d a brain tumour the t2 lesions were on the scan.
Oh Paula, I am so sorry to learn of your sister`s passing. That is so sad.
Hang in there sweetheart.

It is sad very sad she was only just 50 and from diagnosis to death was less than 12 weeks such a terrible terrible shock. I’m thinking that the stress of it all triggered if this is Ms a relapse because all the weird symptoms Ive had for years suddenly took of big time. Because of my sister I insisted on the mri I’d to wait months for it but I’m glad I had it done. It made the gp decide to take note of my other issues that I’d often mentioned in passing but we’d just dismissed them.
