I'm newly diagnosed with PLS. I have been on so many different medications over the years only to find out that none of them would help me in the end. I'm slowly losing the use of my legs, my left side is getting weak and now I talk like I'm drunk and choke on my own saliva.
I had Guillian Barre Syndrome when I was a kid and this is so much like that. I would never wish this on my worst enemy and I only remember the pain. I feel lost because everything I read is depressing me more and the doctors solution is to take an anti depressant. Just what I need...more medication.
I guess it's like the stages of grief and I hope that someday I can accept this before I just give up. I used to be so active and full of life now I never go anywhere and if it's cold outside I can barely walk. It took me a year to get a job and I finally found one in September only to get this diagnosis in December. I'm afraid to say anything to my job or they will think I am weak.
Is anyone else going through the same thing?
