Multiple Sclerosis Also Known As M S

[t-rob]

for thoughs who dont know me

my name is Tony and i am 18 years old

i found out today after seing my normal doc on monday, then going to the hospital yesturday for 13 hrs, and finally seing a neurologist today that there is a 90% chance i have "ms" or multiple sclerosis

i was wondering if anyone on here has it too? and what are some things that have effected you from it...

some symptoms i have(all of which started early sunday morning):

-vomitting

-left side of face is numb or tingly sensation

-slow reaction or off reaction to the left side of my body

-dizziness

-not very good balance

they thought it was a stroke at first but because of my age and body build, ruled that out and

i had ct scan, 2 mri"s one with contrast injected and one without, blood drawn, spinal tap, and 2 I V's of a steroid to help with whats going on

as soon as results come back from my spinal tap i will know for sure if it's "ms"

anyone with any opinions i'm open and wanting to know...

thanks

Guy I used to work with had it, sometimes it was terrible, some times he was fine. Can't remember too much about the condition though as it was a while ago:(
