hello everyone, i am a 23yr old college student. i unfortunately discovered that i had ms last summer. i herniated a disc in my back and then three days later, my legs went numb from the waist down. almost a year later, i still have some numbness in my feet. i can walk, but i can only walk at a normal rate, and cannot run at all. it's still weird. my brain still thinks i can, but my legs just won't do it. i wasn't thin to begin with and when the problems with my legs began, i packed on another 40 pounds. so now i am starting to regain a little control and have started eating better and am going to the gym. i am taking avonex, baclofen, amantadine, paxil,.... the gym is still a bit of an experiment. after about 20 minutes on the treadmill, my right leg goes almost completely numb from the knee down. i go lift some weights for a little while until my leg returns to "normal" and then try to do another 20 minutes. i am going to try out one of the aqua-aerobics classes this week. anyway, i just wanted to say hello and introduce myself.
