More About iamnotcrazy
As far a my MS symptoms, I pretty much have all of them starting from probably the age of 35 or so after my tonsils were taken out because I kept getting horrible strep throats.
The thing that is tying it all together now is the terrible myoclonic jerks. It looks like a seizure, but its not because I am fully coherent (well at least as much as I can be these days). Stress and fatique can set them off or the neuro's hammer. Even a back rub from my husband can set me off these days. It used to be once a month or so, now its almost every day. Waiting for my 3rd brain MRI (they have all been normal), I have had neck MRI's also normal. Nerve test, normal. IF I HERE ONE MORE PERSON TELL ME I AM NORMAL I AM GOING TO SCREAM!!
That is it for now, I am exhausted from typing.
