I found out I have MS on February 2, 2004
I didn’t have a clue that I had MS. I didn’t even know what MS was. I just knew it was a disease. For a while now I have been feeling dizzy, off balance. Usually when I sit for a while and I get up I feel off balance, I figured I got up to fast. My legs always go numb when I sit or get up, but once again, that’s kinda normal. When I started to forget stuff, that’s when I figured it was time to go to the doctors. I got a cat scan on my head and it came back normal. My doctor sent me to a neurogist, who sent me to get an EEG, which was normal, blood work to see if my B12 levels were Okay, and they were, and finally, an MRI, that was not normal. He said I have three white spots on my brain. I had a spinal tap and the test came back that I have MS.

My symptoms come and go, most of the time I feel off balance. Usually when I sit for a while and I get up I feel off balance. My legs always go numb, I like to sit Indian style, it’s comfortable, I am trying to remember not to sit like that so my legs won’t go numb so much. I forget stuff all the time. Sometimes I see black spots that come and go. For a few minutes I’ll see a black spot, then it will go away the next minute. Sometimes when I sit, (non Indian style) my foot gets warm, only one foot, it’ll get warm for about two minutes then it goes away.
