I saw your post about your update. Congrats! I'm glad that it's up and running.
As far as MS. It's a really complicated disease. I can only really explain the kind I have. There are a ton of variations and not everyone has the same symptoms which is why it's such a bitch to diagnose. I have the most progressive form of the disease (naturally lol) It's called SPMS. Basically, when it hits this stage there are no remissions, you just get progressively worse. My doctor thinks I probably have had it since I was in my early twenties based on my medical history and questionnaire I had to fill out. I was just never officially diagnosed with it. At that point it was in the relapsing/remission stage which is why it wasn't ever diagnosed. I would have symptoms for a while and then it would go away, and I'd feel better. Had I been the type to go to a doctor whenever I felt sick, I most likely would've been diagnosed much earlier and could have maybe prevented going downhill so fast, but I mean, the symptoms for me showed up as migraines, dizziness and achy legs. Things that could be explained away by other factors. By the time it was too hard to ignore, the legions were fairly visible on my brain. It is what it is. There's really not even that much that can be done about it. Most of the medicines on the market are for relapsing MS. There are more severe treatments like chemo even and infusions. The problem is most insurances don't cover a whole lot of those and unless you're rich, you can't afford them. And even those are primarily for people who still go into remission. It's weird. As far as hand controls, I don't know. The cost and relearning how to drive doesn't make much sense for someone like me, who doesn't really work and barely leaves the house. I do also hate driving. A lot. I'm a nervous driver so controlling things with my hands would be too much anxiety for me. Keeping my car is more of a mental thing.
