So glad you did this one. MS warrior since 2000. I knew as a nurse it wasn’t just “Menopause”. Finally on my 4th physician she knew something was going on. Saw an endocrinologist who got a STAT MRI and called my on a Saturday to give me the diagnosis. I was and am lucky to have some of the best neuro’s in and around DC and at Johns Hopkins. Please, do more about MS if you could. The more we know the better we are.
I am an MS warrior since 2021. My symptoms started out with loss of sensation in my right leg. I was lucky to be already established with a neurologist and was able to get diagnosed really quick. Now I am dealing with a Tarlov Cyst located at S2, S3, and 4th nerve root that needs to be surgically removed. Whenever I do get to see a neurosurgeon and get the surgery, I have a feeling it will be a bit harder recovery for me because of the MS.
Thank you for sharing info about MS. I’ve been fundraising for MS for over 20 years. When I 1st started fundraising, there were only 2 or 3 DMTs (disease modifying therapies) and they were only injectables. Today, there are over 20 DMTs. I pray a cure is near 🧡 (orange heart for MS).
There is some evidence that EGCG can help in s supportive way for MS. And for the immune system in general. Though, it may not stop disease progression. I would recommend drinking matcha / green tea. Making sure that it doesn't infersct with cytochromes that affect drugs (think graprefruit juice).
i'm saying this under the assumption that this patient didn't go to an optometrist for her temporary loss of vision - i wonder if she would have been diagnosed sooner if she *had* gone to an optometrist. if she did go to an optometrist during or after her episode and they didn't refer her to a neurologist, that is extremely problematic :/

Can you start a series where you teach us neurology. ❤
I love it! Thank you for all the great information!
What’s your thoughts on EBV possibly being the cause?

Thanks for sharing...
love your case studies 😊❤
I have a neighbor who has MS. She has a lot of pain and disability from her MS. My cousin has had MS for years without a lot of disability.
Do you have a video on lumbarsacral radiculapothy ?

That was my guess because I know somebody just diagnosed. Sad disorder.
So was her vestibular system ok?
