Problem
16 years ago
Hello peoples,
I've been in and out of the hospital for the past two weeks now. Had a problem with leg strength and balance. My first thought was not enough exercise, but it wasn't. After having had my blood drawn on several occasions, three MRI scans, one x-ray, and a spinal tap (a procedure in which they drain spinal fluid), they have discovered that I have RRMS (Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis). This type of MS has me up and down, as it were, physically as well as emotionally. The symptoms are various, one of which includes depression. My neurologist said that in the event that I feel as if I had the "urge" to off myself I should try and get in contact with my friends. Though, I don't feel it now, my depression is there, truthfully I have had it before. The temporary medication I'm on, steroids, keeps my emotions a bit inconsistent and unpredictable, you could call it PMS if you want. I don't feel the full brunt with the meds is what I'm getting at. I hope I'm not sounding desperate, or too strait forward on the subject, I just would rather not be alone. I might not be able to contact very easily, seeing how my internet crashes; however, I will be online when I can be.
