This is so true! I was brushed off for the past 9 years and was told it was arthritis...I knew it wasn't.. this past year I had so many new symptoms happening. My family dr put me on Wellbutrin 😒. He sent me to an orthopedic surgeon... it was that Dr who said the symptoms your having sound like ms.. has your family dr never suggested that? I said no.. it never even crossed my mind. So I went back to my family dr... told him that the orthopedic dr couldn't help me and suggested seeing a neurologist... he then said none of my symptoms were MS. Well after a ton of tests, emg to rule out other conditions, 3 MRI'S, being sent to an Endocrinologist...colonoscopy, spinal tap..I was diagnosed Thursday with MS. I also was brushed off about having double and blurry vision. I'm so angry. For 9 years I suffered. I feel like I lost my 30's. I could have been getting help this whole time. Guess who made an appt to see her regular dr in a few days? Me 😅 he's going to get an ear full.
What Is wrong with me?? -vision is worsening. -tightness around torso. -feeling light headed like was about to lose my balance after going on elevator. - explosive migraines -paralysis, unable to move whole body but was able to talk. -brain fog/ memory loss -aches and pains in pelvic lower tummy area. -Numbness in left leg/ feeling tingly, Numbness when standing washing dishes or standing for long periods in left thigh down to leg. - feeling pressure in bladder peeing frequently then normal - Depression/ Anxiety has worsened. - Tired more then normal - unable to sleep properly. -body aches especially lower back and legs. - bowel has changed not normal then usual one day I'll have constipation then the other day it's too soft then watery. - muscle aches/ sore feet when standing.
It is the strangest of illnesses! I was dx at the age of 28… 10 years after my dx my Mum was diagnosed with MS too! At that time my Mum was 47 years old! MS is not hereditary but it IS FAMILIAR! 😮

Unfortunately far too many doctors diagnose young women as being anxious or hypochondriacs and send them home.
