MS & ME

MS & Me well were do i start its really hard to pick a point in my life were i can stand up an say you know that's were things started to be different with me. I can think back to about 7yrs ago when i was coming out off a newsagents and all of a sudden my knee gave way and i sort of stumbled to the ground ,what was worse that there were a group of teenagers standing about and they burst out laughing , which didn't annoy me but i felt embarrassed . Then i gathered myself to walk away but my right leg kept on giving way making me walk like a drunk ,i couldn't understand what was happening to me it got so bad that i had to prop myself up against one off the shop walls til i managed to get up the nerve to try again with some sort off success. That evening when i did make it home i sat i tried to come up with an answer to what had just taken place but to no avail.

That i defo think was the start of things to come so over the coming weeks and months things came and went. Then came the next part of what i found really embarrassing times which i called MY FLOPPY FOOT.

My floppyfoot came about in the same way that my stumble came on me believe it or not it was at the same newsagents one night , i had just pulled my car outside the shop and once again there was a large crowd of teenagers outside again so i turned off the car opened the door and got out all was ok but as soon as i entered the shop suddenly my right foot started to act strange it started to flop and drag with my leg which felt really weird. Anyway i managed to get me bits in the shop and started to walk out towards the car . Yes you've guessed what happened next my right foot started to flop about as i walked i couldn't believe what was happening but i was really thankful the car was just parked real close outside but them few steps seamed to take ages . Then once inside the car i got settled and it was then that i found out that i seemed to have to lift my leg so my foot wouldn't flop or move the way i wanted , being sensible ( lol ) i got someone to drive me home.

A few days later i attended my GP to explain what was happening to my body esp. my right side the stumbles , the odd fall , the amazing floppy foot ( which now i can look back & laugh at ) etc . My GP put this down to maybe a nervous disposition that i was experiencing so i trusted it being put down to this because alot of the time i was in crowded places so there could have been a linkage i suppose .

Anyway a few months passed like this if i remember right so i think i ll leave the next bit to when i remember what happened next.......................
