The website for Irish women

marks the annual Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Week encouraging people everywhere to take action to help others learn more about the condition and what they can do to make a difference.

Fast forward to June 29th 2013, I had a few drinks that evening, all was good and went to bed only to wake up, I remember my nose was blocked and I said to my partner “I’m going down for a smoke and a cup of coffee” only to find my speech was slurred. Anyway, I went to get out of bed only to find my left leg felt funny and went to walk down the stairs and I couldn’t lift my left arm to hold onto the banister! So I thought like the “labryinthitis” that I must have a bad virus.

While I was waiting to start my medication I relapsed again in October. This time it was the right side of my body. It went completely numb. Hot felt cold to my skin and cold felt hot. I had more MRI’s that showed I now have a lesion on my spine and so I was back in hospital again for another week, after more steroids I was back to normal within a week or two.
