    I've had MS since I was 20 and now I'm 63. Life has it's ups and downs. I have more good days than bad days. I don't use any medication. I'm an upbeat, positive person and I think that's helps a lot with everything in life. I hope everyone with MS has a good support of family and friends. I have a great wife and that makes the biggest difference in my life. Best wishes to everyone.

    I went to 3 doctors and they all blew off my symptoms as anxiety. At this point I'm completely disillusioned with the medical system. If I drop dead, I drop dead. If I go blind, I go blind. I've just accepted the fact that I'm alone. I wish I didn't live next to this multi-million dollar hospital while suffering. If I was in the wilderness, I could accept the fact that this is just nature taking its course...but knowing that I just don't have the resources to incentivise the people right next to me to take me seriously is depressing. The truth is: most doctors just don't care. Most of them got into the profession because they were interested in medical science and the money. I would be less resentful if the law didn't create this medical class through regulation. They should deregulate the medical system and allow some true healers that want to help people practice medicine....instead of all these med school scientists who don't care about people.

    I went through much the same thing.
    It happened to me for about 5 years.
    Until a Neurologist sent me to have MRI.
    When I went to see him.
    He told me there is light at the end of the tunnel.
    It went through my Wow!
    This great.
    Then he told me that I had MS.
    You could have knocked me over with a feather.
    That was almost 29 years ago.
    I am now coming up to 79.
    It has not been easy.

    I was hospitalized in 2014 for having anaemia, but I w as experiencing other symptoms while I was there. A neurologist did some testing like an MRI and explained to me that the endings of cords looked like a rat had chewed on them and I lashes on my spine cord that displayed everytime I had a flare-up. He asked for a spinal tap to confirm his diagnosis. It came back that he was correct. This hasn't been an easy journey for me (or none of us). This chronic disease is taking a lot of people's dignity and self respect! But I refuse to give up!

There are 10 DMTs and 40 diets. Maybe one works for you, maybe none of them. Maybe you do not need to do anything to stay well.

      We do need an unbiased expert to look at us from an outside perspective, but a lot of these doctors are either too broadly educated, or are just jaded, and no longer trust what their patients are telling them. I have dealt with misdiagnosis when it came to my West Nile Virus, and Asperger's Syndrome, but now, at 32 years of age, I've been having new issues with slurred speech, double vision, weakness, numbness, and pins and needles in my limbs, extreme fatigue, digestive issues, difficulty concentrating, and more, and I've come across MS as a possible diagnosis, but I'm not sure. My family doctor doesn't seem worried about it at all, but I've gone blind in the past, and I've had multiple fainting spells, some of which led to mild head injuries. I just don't know where to go from here.

    So around the time I turned 19 I started getting these weird episodes. During the worst episodes my speech slurs so bad that no one can understand me. My legs are weak and jelly. Can’t really use my arms and hands because coordination is all off. Havnt been able to work a regular job in two years because it’s been so bad. Sometimes the episodes are mostly my legs but they can last days off and on. Sometimes I will get a normal day. I’m 26 now and my drs said it was my weight, or heart, or some other problem. Had so many tests done. Went to a neurologist several months ago and he did an mri but blew off my symptoms and just said it was vestibular migraines. Gave me headache medicine and each time I saw him I waited 40 minutes just to see him for 90 seconds. Recently got a referral to see a neurologist at u of m hospital in Michigan next month. Might just ask about ms and if it’s a possibility. It sucks not knowing what is going wrong with you and I just want answers

      Yip that's me. Had two MRI's in 2013/2014 after suffering from paralysis in L leg in the Netherlands in 2012 and the local GP looked all my back pain meds I had taken along and replied-"if you have no improvemernt using all of this I think you must go to Amsterdam University Hospital since I think you suffer from MS". Once back in SA I made appointment and Dean of Neurology said:"we we found some unspecified white matter on your brain-the good news is its not MS but we don't know what iit is". WTH? Constantly feel as though I'm standing in a pot of either ice cold or boiling water, my hands go into spasms for no rhyme or reason and I start stuttering when getting exited to my embarrasment. Sometimes my L hand's ring finger goes ice cold whilst the other fingers remain warm. A slipped L4/5 disk as well as bone against bone with hardly any carthalage between T3/4 was found during these MRI's (but since I'm allergic to iodine they didn't inject contrast dye) yet the orthopedist Dr.said he sees no pinched nerves and differs in Dean of Neurolgy's diagnosis.......One night after a new years gig in 2008 when I had packed my gear into my VW Golf and was about to drive home my legs were completey(!) paralyzed and I had to use my hands to control the brake and gas pedals-took my 3&1/2 hours to drive 50km home.......Does any of this sound normal?

    I was diagnosed with MS 2.5 years ago and 95%of my body has gone numb but not at the same time. Now the numbness is just in my arms, luckily I am a massage therapist or was, but I was able to do things on the numb parts and I would love to teach people with MS and how to release the “ epic cramp “ feeling. At the beginning I got a umm lazy eye and had to cross my eyes and look up to fix it, 59 Times a day it has not happened again. If you go to a massage therapist make sure you know that the therapist know what to do. As a massage therapist there are contraindications for MS there are many points that I was told NEVER TOUCH THEM! Well I said BS on that work them points extra verrrrrrry gently! And after a few weeks of working them they no longer are painful, well way less painful! If anyone out there wants to learn these techniques let me know! Thanks and “Be Well “

Your reflections on how they broke the news made me giggle. My GP handed me a box of Kleenex when she told me her suspicions ... the specialist was much more pragmatic and open, and made me feel much better about it!

I have a bunch of tests that I have to have done at the hospital tomorrow and hope they will be able to let me know what's going on with me. Then there's the long wait for the results to get back to my doctors office. About a week before I know anything. Please keep me in yalls prayers and I wish everyone here the best. 🙏☺️

    I don't have MS (that I know of), but I had an extreme bout of vertigo (without ever having it before). Lasted 7 days straight without every stopping. Even when I slept my dreams were vertigo. This was followed by 3 days of vertigo that came and went. Lasted a few hours, felt a little better, repeat. Since this incident 4 years ago, I now get vertigo regularly. It can last from seconds up to an hour. The doctors I went to when this was first happening had no idea why it was happening. They just told me to rest. I never got a catscan or MRI for it. I really wish I had. I've been struggling with balance, coordination, and falling issues that are only getting worse. I live somewhere else now, but when I tell this story to primary care doctors, they never comment on it like it's real. As if I'm making it up and just ignore me. What gives?

With him acting that way I would have thought I was actually actively dying. I was diagnosed with MS about a month ago. I'm very fortunate that my MS was caught during my first attack, but it was an absolute surprise. I could not believe it, I had never even considered multiple sclerosis being a possibility for me. No one in my family had it. And I don't really know anybody with it. The neurologist that I saw also needs work with his delivery. He was kind but my results were early, and they weren't confirmed. He didn't want to tell me and I was having none of it. I'm a registered nurse so he couldn't tell me some BS excuse to get me to get second MRI without me asking questions. I am looking forward to treatment because I know my disease is still very active. I still have not fully recovered and experience vertigo every day but it has significantly lessened.

    I've been diagnosed with MS and LEMS (Lambert-Eaton syndrome), they both have almost the same symptoms. I was supposed to start Ocrevus treatment for MS. But I just called (just before I posted this) and told them, "Let's hold off on that", until I can get a 2nd opinion. Half a dozen reasons: Having 2 diseases with the exact same symptoms? Possible, but not as likely: If I do have both, MS treatment alone is probably not going to do anything (Ocrevus does not treat LEMS); If I do take MS treatment and treatment for LEMS, could there be a reaction of the 2 drugs? I have heard a lot about MS being misdiagnosed (My neurologist is not a specialist in MS). Everyone I have watched on UA-cam says they were given a choice of treatment. Not me! We are putting you on Ocrevus. End of story. Throwing the dice for all the side effects I've heard about Ocrevus when I'M thinking it may not work anyway because of LEMS (if I even have that?).

      Go to the doctor and ask for an mri. It will save you time and money just getting it done and not fucking around with other docs or specialists or whatever. If it is not ms than you will have peace of mind and have a different starting point for a different diagnosis

    God, I've been to doctor after doctor. I have so many diagnoses now, I can barely keep track of them all. I had paint in my joints, but I also had extreme pain in my legs and arms. I was diagnosed with RA and fibromyalgia. The RA was recinded. The pain in my arms and legs is over. Now I have chronic headaches and migraines, and a pseudo tumor in my left eye. Granted, that's from high CSF, but this issue has been going on for 5 years and my neurologist and none of the eye doctors ever noticed this pseudo tumor until the last year? My eye lids also forcefully shut, and I have ataxia in my legs and neurologist just said that's odd. Ok, so my eyes won't stay open, my face twitches and my legs drop out from underneath me, and all we got is that's odd? My mom has MS. I'm practically going bankrupt going to all of these doctors and no one is doing anything. I just want to cry most days.

I've done all I can to alleviate anxiety, but there are so many strange symptoms that anxiety can't explain (and any anxiety I do get is triggered by said strange symptoms). I've already had an MRI that came back clear, and so many blood tests (thyroid function, b12, HIV, syphilis, the whole lot) all came back clear. I've been referred back to the Neurologist but it will most likely take months. I'm sorry to "splurge" all over the comment section, but I am currently suffering and there are so many things I want to do with my life at the moment (positive things like getting my Counselling diploma, finding a cool new job, building a relationship with a wonderful man)

    In 2010, I lost most feeling in my left leg just before I was scheduled to have back surgery to remove a herniated disc. After the surgery, I never regained feeling in my leg. Nerve conduction study says it’s related to the nerve root where the herniated discs was. In the last couple years, I’ve regained feeling in the leg except from the ankle down. But then a year ago, I started getting numbness and spasms in my left arm from my elbow to my pinky and ring finger. A month later, started getting a little numbness in my right pinky. Doctor says probably neck issue. Last year, my vision seemed to be getting worse (though a very healthy optic nerve) and recently have developed eustachian tube disorder and hearing loss in my right ear that wont go away. Now, I can’t be outside in heat without becoming very weak and sometimes nauseated. Starting to be worried that it could be MS.

Also muscle pain when doing the most simple basic tasks, like whisking up mayonnaise. Now today, have just seen an ophthalmologist as I'm having flashing lights and a shadow over my left eye. She says I have optic neuritis and this can be a symptom of MS. Have a referral to a neurologist next week.

    I can completely relate. I had that spinal injection when I was 17 too and it helped the numbness in my left leg but still had dizziness and weird involuntary jerking movements but was always dismissed by my doctors. Then I went in with my current GP because my memory has gotten so terrible as compared to a year ago and it was the first time MS was brought up to me. I’m scheduled for a brain MRI next week, and I can’t say that I’m looking forward to that diagnosis, but it is closure after all these years.
