About Laya

I have Diabetes and Gastroparesis. My first symptom was on my left side, numbness on my face then left eye started aching & went blurred then came back. Then I had total weakness on my left side that spread to my right leg a little but more so in my left leg. Then it graduated to my arms. I also have Optic Neuritis in my left eye. When my symptoms 1st came on it took the doc' a long time to dx me. First dx was Lupus then Fibromalgia finally MS.
