Hi all,

I am a 44yr old male that has been dealing with every symptom known for ms except lesions of the brain or spine.

Now for scenario, I was extremely active and then went from active to in capitated within a week.

I initially started with a numbness in my left leg to all my limbs being on fire. Then all of a sudden swelling along the side of my upper spine.

Does any one have noticeable/seeable swelling on the side of there spine?

It has since moved into my shoulders in the back, losing my voice, losing my taste, and absolute fatigue. Basically live on the couch.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Also can't stand certain smells and am extremely sensitive to heat.

Anyone experience this?

I'm going on 3 years and am extremely depressed and my anxiety is through the roof.

Hope all can make it through this misery!!?

      Hi amber512,

      If he continues to have these problems and it works its way into his spine, be very consistent with the problems and symptoms when talking with the doctor/neurologist.

      I've been to the ER 43 times in 3yrs before I even got the doctors attention.

      Its really sad that doctors herd us patients like cattle through there doors.

      I can't stress how important it is to keep your story/symptoms very consistent.

      Its very disheartening that people that need disability can't get it, and the people that have it don't need it!!! I know of several people that are working under the table but yet are getting full disability checks.

      Hopefully I shed a little light on things.

      Its extremely frustrating, I know all to well!!!

      Feel free to message anytime and I will try to help cope with things!!!?
