Relapsed

I am 40 yrs old and have been dx for 3 yrs. I had very little problem until aug. 2003. I got a kidney infection and it went down hill from there. I had oral sterolds and i.V. Steroids. That cleared up the double vision but other things got worse.

I became very dizzy and my balance didn't exist.

I felt water logged at first then my speech became very slurred.


The puzzling part was that it came like in waves, i'd sound normal and then in about 3 min. I'd sound like a drunk. I also felt like I was about 4 beers in most of the time. No one seems to understand why it came in waves. I'm doing better now but it still happens less frequent ly but still in waves and less severe. These spells only last about 10 seconds and have lasted the same from the beginning.

My neur. Suggested I see a psych. And a speech theropist. I figured the psych. May help but I have skipped the speech theropist. I have lost my job and insurance so I can't afford to play hit and miss. I am on rebif for the m.S and lexapro for the depression. I also take neurontin which is an anti seizure drug. It feels like maybe i'm having very mild seizures. But I don't know. My neurologist hasn't suggested an eeg but i'd like to know what's going on when this happens

has anyone ever heard of this minute to minute deal. I understood i'd have good days and bad days but not good minutes and bad minutes.

I need some answers or some help. Someone please respond.

Thanx
