I know it´s also so unpredictable. MS was called the lazy syndrome in Iceland in the old days so when I don´t have much walking energy I joke about it. "Sorry I have the lazy syndrome now ;)" I was diagnosed 16 years ago (at 28) and I used to have 2 relapses per year until almost two years ago when I started to get the medicine Mabthera. No changes in brain or spine since then. But until then I had tried all the medication on the market. One of them "Tysabri" almost killed me in 2009 but I got 6 embolus in my lungs after the first injection of it. I have constant numbness from toes up to my breasts but I have my strength even though I am terribly clumsy and get tired in my feet after walking a good distance. I also have slightly double eysight but it´s amazing what you can get used to. What I hate the most is the tremor I´m dealing with. I have intentional tremor so at times I have a hard time driving a car and I get a lot of spasms in my sleep. But after experiencing blindness and getting paralised in my feet and hands at a time and constant dizziness over long periods of time and shaking like I have parkinsons I feel lucky to be still able to live in a house with a staircase to the front door. I also had a terrible fatigue for a long time but I use Low dose naltrexone (since 2011) and my energy is normal now or even better then normal beside the walking strength. The feet do not lift as they should, like my old doctor used to say; You can see from the shoes of people if they have MS. They always bump their toe in the pavement ;) Some years ago I was really thinking about getting my self a scooter but I am much better today and I force my self to take a walk with my dogs every day though now my knee problem is stopping me. But Melinda do you get any help at home as you live alone? Do you have family members or some kind of ensurance? It´s not good to be living alone falling a lot. Can you take the scooter outside or do you just use it at home?
