Not been around alot for 3 weeks

3 weeks ago today… i was on the second day of new medicine for ms… pill form… tecfidera… friday evening I took my night dose went upstairs to bed… within 15 minutes I started to feel hot… and prickly over my body… fast forward to me tossing everything I ate since I was 2 yo … barely able to stand let alone move… and sweating so much I had rivulets going down my arms I had mom start my shower in case I was able to move enough to get in to cool my skin off… mom wanted to call the ambulance… it was that bad… all I could think off… is there is no way in hell they were getting upstairs to bring me down. narrow staircase 140yo house. well I started to feel better after the poison was out… mom took my temperature… it was super low… i was able to get to sleep… but… woke up feeling dizzy… the stress and insult on my body pushed me into a MS relapse… last Saturday… i started to lose vision in my left eye… thankfully perifial closer to the nose… but my loss of vision is about 1/4 dark grey/black with the rest of the eye seeing foggy what I would call in photography noise… i called m y neuro… had a MRI… with contrast… as they were putting the iv in my right arm the plastic tube hit a valve… i was not worried… or anything… thankfully I was sitting in a wheelchair… all of a sudden I started to get prickly on the scalp… light headed… and nauseaus… it was bad… i started to sweat… and I was according to them white as a sheet… now I have farmer tan 24/7 365 days a year… my arm was lighter than my belly skin… 15 min later it passed and I was fine. we continued on the other arm… got that in… they shoved me into the too small of a MRI machine… (I am not claustrophobic lol I used to do spelunking) literally arms tight to my side lost feeling in hands after 30 min lol… that tight… well it was all done and good and I went home… i can see the results on my patient portal… but… my doc has not called me with a decipher…etc whatever it is to make it in English lol anyhow… my eyesight seems to be semi stable its gotten a little worse on the left… but my balance is a little better… I’m not falling over in the bathroom like I was… but I still have balance issues and the loss of sight does not help… ugh… ty for letting me vent… btw I’m a tough ol beotch lol and I don’t always complain about my issues like this…i don’t feel all here either … lol

loss of vision can be terrifying. i’ve had blind spots from migraines before and it sure is scary.
