My youngest grand-daughter started with a problem with her left leg last Friday and it was so bad she went to Casualty at Jimmy's for it checking out, at first they thought she might have a blood clot, however blood tests ruled that out, so she was sent home with the advice to go see her GP if it didn't improve .
By Monday she could barely walk on it so she went to see her doctor yesterday afternoon, he spent an hour checking her over and was horrified that she hadn't been admitted for further tests as he suspected it was neurological, her rang the specialist and arraged for her to see him today at 2pm.
He thinks it is something called demyelination, which is a break down of the sheaths on the nerve endings in the brain, after looking it up it seems that Multiple Sclerosis is one of the better results of this condition, so you can imagine how devastated we are, she will be 18 next month and should be having the time of her life, instead she's on tenterhooks waiting for the result of the tests they did today, which hopefully will be back in 2 weeks, although she was told that should she experience similar problems with her other leg, or with her arms, she has to contact them immediately.
So if anybody has had experience of this condition then please let me know and please spare a prayer for Laura, she really needs all the help she can get at the moment
