I was diagnosed last month after several years of being made to feel that it was stress and a pinched nerve behind my knee. Now I cannot walk on my own, have problems zipping up jeans and buttoning them (I don't wear them anymore), twitching, and falling. Each month I seem to get worse, but I guess that is expected.
One Neurologist asked me if I wanted him to diagnosed me with a terrible disease such as MS or Parkinson's. I informed him that I just wanted to know what was wrong with me. Finally I was sent to UCSF Medical Center and I had several MRI's, blood tests, EMG's and a very through exam. I will be going back next month for breathing tests.
I am getting my affairs in order. I am, also, very lucky to have a wonderful family who will help me.
I do have many questions, but I will ask them as I go a long.
I'm so happy to have found this site.
