Do any of you have MS?

If so, what were your clues?
Answer:
My mother has MS. She is 59 yrs old. Early in her 20's, she felt tingling in her legs. The doctor could not diagnose it. Years, later,,,,,,,in her 50's, she would fall down for no reason and sometimes when you watch her walk, you would think she had been drinking by the "gait" of her walk. At her job, she started to forget things that she had been trained to do over 15 years ago. It got very bad. Finally, her boss made her go to the doctor. She had an MRI done. From that MRI, they were able to diagnos MS. She gets very tired very easily and can not exert her self too long. For example, if she tried to mop the kitchen floor, she is not able to finish, and is then subject to fall down. The way she puts it,,,,,,,,is that she says her legs are like rubber and she can not control what they do when she is walking. Her logic and reasoning skills are very damaged from the MS. There are many websites that can help you. Look for the National MS Society. Also, doctors who specialize in MS are very few and far between.
She is now on Social Security disability and believe me, I had to work my tail off to get her approved for that and it took over 8 months.
