I had to call my GP monday morning just gone as thursday afternoon i started going numb in my toes,which by saturday had gone up to my lower rib cage,my GP called the hospital and a emergency appointment was made for the following day worrying times with covid19 happening.Although my wife drove me there she waited in the car as she is high risk as we thought i would be back out in couple of hours.I seen a consultant who ran a couple of tests and took a bucket full of information from me and within a couple of hours i was being told i was being kept in for further testing,thankfully with people not wanting to go to hospital bacause of the covid19 the hospital started wi th full spinal MRI loads of bloods then a head MRI followed by more tests then a chest ct scan then a lumbar puncture and a electrode test for the nerves followed by a chat with several of the nuro team then being told i had ms on thursday saying that there was more results to come back but all results so far confirmed i had ms,i had been tested for ms along with a host of other things 12 years ago because i had 2 episodes of optical neuroritus but ms was ruled out, then 4/5 years ago i had several episodes of uveitus tested again for ms but was clear again.
This has been a worry of mine for a while now as my father had MS so had seen first hand the damage it can cause ect,now im following in my dads footsteps to find out now how to live and cope with MS myself,i have been told that now i will have follow up appoinments with various ms support groups to give me advise ect. So im sure i will be back on the forum in the next few weeks seeking help with various things.
