    Symptom onset for me was 10 years old. The doctors blamed my symptoms on spinal issues! I wasn't diagnosed till I was 43!! I spent a lifetime struggling, not knowing what was happening to me why i was different!! But I went alkaline because disease can't survive in alkaline state, and I started the Terry walls Ms diet protocol and taking high doses of vitamin B12 sublingually!! I have been steadily improving for The last 5 years!! In three and a half months I'm coming out of retirement for my bicycling career and finish riding the miles around the planet, I have 7,401 miles to go and I am riding to raise money for MS!! Oh yeah, I can't take any disease modifying drugs they all have bad reactions like internal organs shut down with me!! Thank you for doing so much for those of us in need!!!

    My symptoms started after I knocked myself out... It started with brain fog and headaches, fatigue, then over time my hands and toes would cramp up and go numb and I'd get sharp pain in what felt like the bones of my extremities, stabbing pains in my head, back and chest, and the muscles of my ribs and back would lock up then my upper arm on my left side would feel on fire almost like mild sunburn all the while my mental state dived lower than ever before.... Still on the journey to diagnosis I hope to have answers soon

    Welp. I've had multiple systoms for over month now, shaky hands/index fingers, muscle twitches, floaters in the eye when looking at white screens, occasional numbness in toes and very occasional pin and needles in the feet. Neurologist thought it was post covid issues, but got an MRI to be sure, now have to do a follow up which is concerning. Pray for me yall.

    I got diagnosed a month ago turned 22.

      @@Hannah-hq9xs ok thank you. I am sorry you have it. Seems like such a young age as well, though I know it can happen at any age.
      I have started experiencing frequent and urgent urinations for the past year especially. And recently for the past 3 days these strange tickling sensations in legs and arms but not everywhere, rather just as if little spider crawls at one spots for a second and then in a different spots later. Then it stops.
      And yesterday I noticed strange twitching sensation in one part of my leg , similar to eye twitching sensation but nothing there.
      But no numbness or pain or anything else.
      I have always felt fatigued which came and went and some days it’s there and some it’s not. But it was always to do with severe PMS. Recently though I felt tired / fatigued even when not around that time of the month…
      Oh the severe brain fog I get also. But that’s again around pMS time.
      So after researching the symptoms of these strange skin sensation I came across MS (which also listed all the other symptoms I get sometimes) and I am a bit shocked/scared to say the least.
      I will see how the next few days are and then perhaps opt for some blood tests 1st and chat with GP. Knowing how slow and dismissive they are here most of the time unless you are visibly really suffering… not sure if that is it or just temporary thing…

      @@trinityp8575 hey thanks for sharing yeah I never knew what MS was and kinda all happened 2 months ago so fast, but really most of the time I forget I have it haha and I'll be going on treatment so I'll never get a flare up again and live a normal life 😁... I used to be tired often and get a lot of headaches too but didn't think any thing of it. they were surprised that my tingles were so even like that it's not that normal to act mirrored that way.. I did get blood work the first time I had tingles. But MS doesn't show up in blood so honestly be better if you go get looked at as soon as possible and get an CT scan, sooner the better if it is the case you do have MS you can get treated earlier.😊

    The doctor ordered a huge battery of tests.

      @@lalittl it went well. The neurologist asked about my symptoms, then asked me some number and word questions to see how my brain is working, to see if I have any memory problems etc which I do. He then did a physical assessment asked me to walk in a straight line etc and then checked my reflexes and pricked a pin on different parts of my body to see which parts I don't feel the sharpness of the pin to check for numbness. I have alot of numbness in the lower parts of my body but not as much in the upper parts. He referred me for an MRI even though he didn't suspect MS but said that MS would show up on the MRI scan even if I didn't have any symptoms. So now I'm just waiting for an appointment for the MRI. I do suspect MS so id rather know, than continuing to wonder and worry. If u suspect u have MS then don't doubt your symptoms! Its always best to get it checked out if ur worried. Our Health is so important. I hope you don't have it! But its best to get it seen to early rather than wait until you feel worse. I've had symptoms for years but never went to the docs until I started getting worse symptoms so please don't wait! I wish you all the best for the future and please take care of yourself love. 🤗
