About 3 months ago I went to work with a bit of a numbing patch on my right arm which of course I thought to be nothing.
Then I felt numbing throughout my whole arm about a week later, and then about another week later, my entire right side was numb and I was dragging my right foot, unable to walk without holding onto someone or something. I was then taken to my mother's chiropractor because I was thinking it a a chiropractic problem, but then the chiropractor told my mother and I that there may be a problem up in my brain. My mother then took me to the hospital a couple of days later to see if they could find out what is going on with me. I got a couple of MRI's done on me and the doctors were almost convinced that I had a brain tumor and that my life is pretty much going to be cut short. I had a biopsy done a few days later on my brain and they took a sample out for testing and my doctor at the time still did not know what is going on with me. I got prescribed Hydrocodone and steriods that really helped build up my strength and I am walking better, but unfortunately I got double vision about a week ago. That is hard to deal with, I don't exactly like wearing a pirates patch. I am considering going on BETASERON. I hope to be able to live a normal life like I want to.
