nurses with multiple sclerosis

I am interested to know if there are any nurses out there that are dealing with multiple sclerosis. I was recently diagnosed, and have had to make some life style changes to deal with it.

I'm wondering if anyone can give me some helpful suggestions on exercise, how to deal with fatigue, and if you have any problems with your nursing management understanding your ailment.

i have been exp. Some symptoms lately...the first symptom showed about 2 years ago, but i thought of it as "stress". After i had a car accident cause by conversion syndrome, i had an mri done. The neurologist told me there was a small white patch on the left side of my brain..but it was too soon tell what it was.

so about 2 and a half weeks ago, i suddenly started having some symptoms..they are:

woblly gait

jumping (the only way i can describe it) vision. The object i am looing at doesnt "jump" but the objects in my peripherals do.

slight memory loss

fatigue

slight tremors

dropping things (toothbrush, keys, forks, ect..)

they stopped..then started again. Any ideas as to what it could be?

-thanks!

There is a long thread on the disability section here where nurses with MS have written, check it out. :up:
