Dear Ed,
Your symptoms seem very similar to mine. I was diagnosed 13 months ago. My
symptoms are still with me and sometimes get worse. My neuro is of the belief
that TM is simply a component of MS, the difference being the multiple part.
I am a fifth grade teacher, and the thought of this whole thing terrifies me.
I love to teach and worry that my cognitive skills will be affected. I have
already fallen once in front of my class, but was lucky not to have hurt
myself seriously. I get extremely frustrated trying to get a concrete
diagnosis. Hang in there. If we are still walking and talking I guess we are
in pretty good shape!!
