Time Line

Time Line Relapsing and Remitting MS- mild case

A summary of course

2006  ?  Touch- Small numb skin areas- legs, knee cap. Hmm. Interesting. Not permanent.

2008  ?  Sight-  Red was not bright red in one eye- saw sight specialists- nothing wrong... Continued with various degrees of difference between eyes on colours.

2009 ?  Pins and needles different part of lower body and legs while driving one day, especially when nodding the head- weird, continued for a time.

2011 Easter ? mentioned above symptoms one day to my sister- who said get a diagnosis.

2011 mid year after seeing GP- got to see Monash Neurologist Dr Dominic- after testing later suspected MS, made appointment to see Ernie Butler- agreed- MS

2012 early - see specialist, nothing more, no treatments advised as was Mild case

2012 later September 26 wake up and LHS eye, half blinded, two days before returning to FT work, pretty serious- had to use microscope and describe rocks! Pretty serious, and what about driving? Wikipedia helped soothe me, 6 weeks should get it back- nuh uh- two years later- still hard but can read again with the left eye on good days, but colours still greyish

2012 October appointments and a start on Copaxone injections in th ehope of staving off new episodes/attacks/relapses

2014 nothing serious at all, some pins and needles during the last twelve months in lower body on nodding- again. A few days or less.

2019 nothing serious last 5 years apart from weaker right side- lifting the leg and undoing the jam jar sort of thing is much different from the early 2000s and the spreading fire rimmed grey patch i had for half an hour the other year just on dinner time- that was weird

2021 April. Hmm. Tired more, nah. Weak right leg starting to show a bit more, dressing etc, lift zee knee, you know, LIFT for pants socks shoes, weird.  Eyes good, tinnitus, no clicks for a while, but still hi freq background internal noise. Did trip  and tumble at the beach over summer one day after sailing after the wind died, and had to walk back up the inlet to the van. Like, tripped over a depression in the sand, just after starting to jog. Starting! Hmm. The scans show no new developments- that's good, well according to Victor anyway. Only had telephone appointments the last 18 months- how does that help really? Not sure on changing the medication regime, not with covid as well, the good ones for advanced RMRM lessen immune system response, from what I read, and have not had an answer on a shingles vaccination either.
