I am a short timer posting on the forum but have been a lurker for a couple years. Finally getting back into hunting after a 10 year hiatus working all the time and raising my son just didnt allow me time to do it. I finally am at a point where I have time.
About 2.5 weeks ago on 11-4 we went scouting at BSF and when I woke up that morning the right side of my face was kind of numb and tingly but I wrote it off as just sleeping the wrong way. We probably walked 5 miles that day with no issues.
After the 3rd day of the same feeling, like i had just left the dentist and was numb but 24 hours a day, I decided to call the DR. He thought it was a mild case of Bells Palsy which is no big deal but ordered an MRI just to be sure which I had this past Tuesday.
On Wednesday I go in to get the results and its not good. On one side there are no tumors or anything else. On the other side they located small lesions and they think I am in the early onset of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). A mini stroke is not out of the question but per the doctors my normal blood pressure and tests make that not very likely.
I got pushed to the front of the line to see a Neurologist and am going at 10am tomorrow to get more insight into whats going on. I am strong and positive and will be fine, but it never hurts to gather a prayer or two where you can! I can still live my life if it is MS, still hunt and fish, boat and do all the other things I do it will just get tougher as the years wear on.
On top of EVERYTHING else going on this week (Sons hunter safety classes 6-9pm every day, Dr Appts every day and work coupled with the chimney fire we had last night that the Fire Dept left at about midnight and I am freakin exhausted. I am looking so forward to getting in the woods for some hunting therapy Sunday I may go no matter how hard it is raining lol.
Again I appreciate your prayers and positive thoughts as I see the Neurologist for the first time tomorrow morning.!
