I’ve just spent a very interesting half hour (during lunch break) reading through some extremely interesting postings on this forum and it gave me the confidence to join in with the discussions.
I am new to forums, so please excuse any errors I may make.
I am in the process of ‘in limbo’ at the moment and it is getting on my nerves. I have the symptoms of numb hands, pins and needles, speech problems, headaches etc. and I will have my third appointment with my neuro next week.
I understand it takes a long while to diagnose MS and I want to take this opportunity to THANK YOU ALL for the help and support you have given to people via this forum. I have read lots of the postings and it makes me realise that I am not alone.
Hallo Grannyjac…it must be very difficult being in Limboland and I am sure that you will recieve lots of advice and a warm welcome from others on the site. Personally I am a carer for my husband who has had MS for a long time…my advice for what it is worth is keep smiling and enjoy each day as it comes regardless of what life chucks at you…we all know lifes not fair!!
Thank you Kate. Fortunately my glass is always half full and not half empty It is through reading all the positive comments on this forum (and the humour) which gave me the confidence to register.
Limbo has got to be one of the hardest places to be,but there is a cyber army of shoulders to cry on,nutters to have a laugh with and also some very knowledgeable people to help you make sense of neuro speak.
welcome. Any questions ask away. Im sure me and others will do our best to help as there are some people here who have suffered for years and done alot of reading into the MonSter. PS Not every one takes years to get a DX. I am one of the quicker ones at only 5 weaks from first serious relapse to DX. But for those 5 weaks it was horrible not knowing so i cant begin to imagine what its like waiting years for a dx james
Thankyou for your kind comments and encouragement.
This morning ( whilst sweeping the snow from my car) I slipped on my drive and banged my head. Not a good sight I’m afraid … 53 year old woman in jammies and bathrobe flat on back in the snow!! ha ha
Seriously, I am fortunate I didn’t fall on my right leg which is very tempermental I’m afraid.
Hope everyone is ok today with the horrid snow - though I have seen some adults with the child in them throwing snowballs etc.
Ive found this forum to be a wonderful place to ask questions and gain support. I am currently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, but have been told by a neurologist that its a wait & see situation. I spent 11 months in limbo with more and more symptoms presenting. I hope that you find this forum helpful and good luck with your situation.
