My mom has it, and so does her boyfriend. The whole left side of her body is numb, and it affects her speech and her memory. It's a strange disease, other than those symptoms she can still drive, goes to yoga, and leads a normal life. Hers was actually triggered in a swimming accident; she was doing a triathlon and someone swam into her lane, and hit her head first. She's been numb ever since.
Her boyfriend is in a wheelchair now; when they first met a few years back he could walk but it's progressed to the point now where he can't stand any longer. It sucks.
It's a tough disease, but I'd get it diagnosed. From what my mom has told me there are a lot of treatments available if you into them early enough.
