There are other symptoms that I forgot to mention. These all came and gone, each lasting about 2-3 weeks. Some syptoms happened simutaneously.
EXTREME fatigue- I would sometimes be in bed for the whole day.It's not like I didnt want to get up, it's that I COULDN'T get up. I never experieneced this extreme sense of tireness befor. It was so annoying.

Weakness- this symptom is my most recent. I happened sometime last month but now it's gone. My right arm would feel extremely weak. I felt like i had a limb made of jello. But this feeling would literally last only about three seconds. But that feeling would happen about twenty times a day.

Slurred speech- This symptom was not too severe in my case but I would find myself having to slow down when I talk because some of my words seemed to meld into each other. My friends would ask me to repeat myself often. I already have a lisp, so a lisp plus slurred speech? Not cool.

Writing trouble- I am right handed. I found myself unable to write correctly for a while. My handwriting literally looked like I wrote it with my left hand. It was so sloppy but I could not help myself. This was annoying because all I do in class is take notes and my own notes were becoming illegible, even for me. I had to end up taking notes with my laptob.

As mentioned all of my symptoms have gone away for the time being. It's scary because you never know when they will return or get worse. But always remain positive and Don't stop living your life!!
