MS and me

As long as I can blow my whistle we carry on!

As some of you know I have probably got Multiple Sclerosis. I started to feel weak in my left side in Pilates on Monday 7th March and I lost my balance while dancing in Fitness 55+. I took myself off to A and E just as a precaution as possibly it might have been a stroke. There was no evidence of a stroke on the CAT scan  but was transferred to Preston to Stroke ward to be monitored. I went for a MRI and began to feel better by Wednesday and planned to teach 60+ Circuits at 11.30am. However the bombshell came that it was most likely to be MS.I am now waiting for a lumber puncture for final diagnosis.
Sadly I have had to make some changes but with the help of cover instructors most of timetable will carry on.
Monday night Euxton 6.45pm Zumba and 7.30pm Pilates has finished

Monday afternoon Prospect House new Pilates class has finished

Tuesday night Worden 7.30pm Pilates will not continue for now

The rest of the timetable will carry on as normal

I have probably got Relapsing Remitting MS so I could be back to normal in a few weeks. My symptoms at the moment are left sided weakness, fatigue, weakness in my mouth so chewing is hard. I have a funny walk at the moment! Thank you to all the wonderful people who have helped me in the last few days. To Judy who hugged me when I burst into tears in Tescos and gave me tissues and so many others.
Love from Diane xxxx
