 .... I was
honestly thrown into it... I woke up one morning with the worst case of
vertigo in my life in fact I had never had it before at all... We went
to urgent care and they said I had an inner ear infection hahahah five
days later with vertigo I went to the er... The doc at desert banner
said I don't have an inner ear infection to be safe let's do a ct scan
... They found this tumor sent me to st joes... They did an mri saw the
tumor and these lesions then told me they wanted to start me on
steroids and do some tests aka a friggin lumbar puncture omg it
hurts!!! I was sent home.. Three days later I was back ... Had another
attack... More lesions and they came in with a box of tissue and a book
on "living with ms" and they sat down and told me... I had such a hard
time grasping it... I wasn't sad just confused... The hospital stays
are really the depressing part... But yeah march 23rd this year I was
fully diagnosed with MS and then on april 17th this year I had brain
surgery... A craniotomy... And ever since march I have been
hospitalized for something ms related and they always seem to find
more... My last mri showed enhancing lesions and blood clots in my
brain they are being called cortical vein thrombosis... And in the
center of the brain they say it is becasue of a small stroke I had
while driving on the I-10, after my surgery I got hit with a rare form
of diabetes known as diabetes insipidus, which is my sodium level,
nothing to do with blood sugar...So water is my best friend... and
recently I was at work and had a seizure which they are thinking it is
from this white matter they have located on the frontal part of my
brain... its spread out and kind of just randomly popping up... so I am
on Topamax for that... its been an interesting year.
