Fresh Start

I've decided to try and blog about the new journey I'm on. What new journey? Well about 2 weeks ago I went to walk with my mom and went numb from the waist to a little below my knees. Wait, let me back up. For a couple of days I was having some "pins and needles" feelings but I've had that so I didn't really think much about it. You know, the same 'ol, same 'ol. So I thought, great that's annoying. So then this other happen while I was walking and I busted out laughing and told my mom to go find my butt around the block where I must have left it. We laughed while I walked slowly home because I could barely move. By the next morning it wasn't so funny anymore....I couldn't move my legs that well and I was struggling to walk. Here I am two weeks later and my right leg feels heavy and I keep having these sensations of numbness on and off and pins and needles and it's annoying! I can't drive my car, I can't do certain household things. I'm probably doing more than I should be, but I REFUSE to just sit on the sofa or lie in the bed. I'm having to ask someone constantly to please take me here or take me there. At least no one has to wipe my butt! LOL. So anyone I did go see the Dr, yes a Neurologist. They were baffled. Go figure! My undiagnosed neurological disease (that may or may not be MS) anyway.... I'm now going to go to Duke Medical Center. I'm going to see an MS specialist. My appointment is on the 12. I'm scared and nervous and I'm also happy that this might finally be the answer after 6 years of not knowing. I figure that I'm having a hard time expressing my feelings and what exactly is going on with my body and what I'm feeling. No one can fully understand, unless you've been through this. So I'll write about it, here. I don't know if anyone reads this or not, but I can come back from time to time and read. This will benefit me and someone somewhere may be able to help me or I may help someone else. Either way, I fulfilled a purpose!!
