MS DIAGNOSIS | NEWLY DIAGNOSED | MY STORY | 2017

Hi Everyone
This was bit of a hard video to make but I wanted to let you all know what has happened. Ive been diagnosed with MS, I'm in my twenties and it is a bit of a shock but definitely not the worst case scenario. I go through how I feel, my symptoms and possible treatments.
If anyone has any questions for me then please leave them below, thank you in advance for your support because I know you'll all be so lovely.
Thank you

    My husband has the RR MS too, he was diagnosed two years ago and has been on medication since with ‘touch wood’ no symptoms. It was really scary when we found out as I thought he was having a stroke as we rushed up to A&E who were also amazing. I think everyone thinks the worst when they hear of someone with MS but sometimes it’s not the case and there is such a broad spectrum on how it affects different people. Our neurologist said to carry on and live our life’s as normal and to keep positive. You’re a lovely person and so good of you to make this video too! 😘

    Hey, I found your channel because I've been researching MS. My story sounds very similar to yours. I've had nerve issues since ive been 20 numb spots here and there, and pain in my bones in my legs since I've been a teenager. After I gave birth to my second daughter that kind of gave my pain and symtoms a kick start. I'm 26 now and my symtoms fit with MS. Unfortunately I haven't been diagnosed and I just get pushed away, put on meds and just told to deal with it. I have been referred to the chronic pain team at the RVI. So hopefully I can meet a doctor who will actually want to help me and believe me. I'm glad you got a diagnosis, not because I want you to have an illness of course, but because you know have closure and I can understand what feeling relief and fear at the same time.

    You are freaking amazing. You are just so matter of fact. It must suck in many ways but I'd be the same, not a brain tumour! Science moves so quickly I really hope there is a new breakthrough soon and it can help when you relapse. You don't seem attention grabbing or dramatic but it saddens me that you feel the need to state that. But equally I totally get why you said it. We have to when vlogging. And in a random note that has nothing to do with anything... I want your hair! It's bloody lovely.

It could be something completely unrelated and simple but it definitely needs checking, ask to be referred to a neurologist and ask for an MRI. I hope it turns out to be something simple for you.

    I want to preface this by saying I have not watched your video but only read what you wrote- I already know I might end up in tears if o watched. Anyways, I am so sorry for what you have to go through . I'm such a wimp because pretty healthy still and yet I can barely function emotionally right now due to long term under employment and constantly being poor even when I had s full time job because I simply never made enough. And I'm intensely lonely from still being single at my older age. Still, I know my problems are nothing compared to your new diagnosis and my heart goes out to you. Thanks for sharing your story . If you wouldn't be offended, I'd like to suggest you to take a look at Dr. Terry Wahl's videos if you haven't already come across her videos. She too has MS and she shares how her diet has made a huge difference. Thank you.

It spread into my legs and I went to a private GP who said I should see a neurologist immediately. After an MRI I got the MS diagnosis and was put on treatment. GPS are great a lot of the time but they are not specialists. If you are worried tell them you want an immediate referral.

    Your story is SO similar to what I'm going through. Even down to the Shingles episode kind of setting things off. I had shingles back in 2017. However, this whole Summer I've been getting worse and worse with the various body parts tingling, pain, and going numb, the eye film, etc. I'm currently playing the waiting game for getting testing done. I'm having a brain and neck MRI on September 20th, and I have a Neurologist appointment scheduled for October 22nd. My doctor mentioned my reflexes being heightened as well. I'm hoping if I end up having MS, it will be the relapsing remitting kind, because I've had spells on and off like this for years, but only this summer has it gotten severe enough for me to be worried. But yeah, the diagnosis waiting is the hardest part.

    @King A - sorry I just saw your comment! My first symptom was that I noticed that I couldn't type or text properly with my left hand. Dr. said it was carpal tunnel. then it went away. few months later, my right hand wasn't working. then shortly after 3 weeks of vertigo attacks. I hit my head on a cement wall and the emergency rushed me to get a head CT and then they saw artifact in my brain. and they did an MRI and confirmed it was MS.

    I too have the visual issues that you described. The best way that I could describe is that it looks as half of a dingy window on the front of a car windshield. Thank you for your video. I was diagnosed in 2012. Then, in 2013, upon a second opinion, diagnosis was changed to Neurosarcoidosis (NS). Because NS is rare, I decided, after 5 years, to go and have another opinion. It just came back as "classic MS" last week. Such a long and frustrating process.

    Sometimes it makes you feel better just having a diagnosis. I found that when I was finally diagnosed with Epilepsy. At least then you know what you can do from there, and there is an actual reason for the way you are feeling. You have to take every day as it comes as some days are better than others when it comes to chronic illness. Some days you will feel great, and other days you will just want to hide away and feel awful and that is okay. If you ever need anyone to chat to feel free to contact me.

    I also have MS. I was diagnosed in June of 2016. I found out because I had numb toes and it went up to my knees and well I couldn't walk up the stairs and I had to physically pick up my legs when I got into bed. Btw I'm 15 so my parents took me to the ER and I was sent out to the children's hospital and I had an MRI done and I was diagnosed. I was put on steroids. I had to do about 4 months of various types of therapies. I was placed on a medication but sadly it's not doing what it's supposed to so I have to switch medicine. Now I'm back on the softball field and I'm glad. Thank god it wasn't anything worse. I wish you luck in your MS battle.

    Hi I need help in understanding my sister's condition. She has ms as well and is going through a divorce because it had became too much for her husband. She gets injections every other day but her personality had changed. It's almost as she isn't all there. She does things that is just mind boggling. It's like she doesn't have a conscious. She doesn't know she's doing something wrong and she lies almost every day. Even if she has a chance to tell the truth she still lies. And she forgets almost every talk someone has with her. And I might seem completely uneducated but this isn't the sister that left 8 years ago when she got married. It's like they switched her with a random person. I just want to understand her.

    I've got MS too. I'm 24 and I found out I had MS when I was 19. It was a shock obviously. I decided not to take the medication because it was making me feel really sick. I never had another crisis since 2011. I decided not to think a lot about MS and I've been really well. Sure there's some pain here and there but it's fine :) I've been watching your videos because I want to have a baby soon and I ended up loving your channel!

    I'm a 73 year old female and very active. I have a bad case of restless leg. I am on medication for RLS but sometimes I am awake all night. I have insomnia, tired all the time, I think I have verve problems because my right hand base of thumb will burn and hurt so bad it will wake me up. I see black spots so bad that I will look to see what they are. I have tingling in different places and it feels like I have a bug like a flea or small bug nibbling . My balance and clumsiness is terrible. The only numbness is on one side of my neck. I use to have a problem with one leg going completely numb and felt cool but that has passed. Did you have any of these signs? Your video makes me want to go to a Neurologist. You are very brave.

    I go on Monday to find out if I have MS. I did the MRI of my lower back & for 7 years we’ve been going in a completely different direction so when the neurosurgeon looked at my last MRI of my lower back he immediately said I think you have MS. He did all the balance reflex tests you did & ordered a brain/neck & upper spine MRI. I find out the results Monday. I’m ok with it. I want answers after so many years of pain & problems. I just want answers so I can start treatment. Whatever that is.

    My pal told me to check out the symptoms for ms... Your the first person to discribe the guitar string thing... Like a really quick ping but the feeling of like strumming the string on the guitar. It's so mad IV never been able to discribe that feeling. And my GP looked at me like I was crazy.... I have has spinal problems since my early 20s. And after my two babies it got considerably worse. I have degenerative disks L1 L2 . Siatica in both legs constantly. Also I get the hand and foot tingle's abit like how your hands feel going from cold outside to warm inside. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia at age 30. Chronic fatigue is so real too .. I really feel your pain hunnie. I used to get little patches on my thigh's that were completely numb. And never knew why. Cos it was a little patch I never bothered with the gp. Today I woke up with a dead hand.. that has stayed numb all day. It's only half the hand tho so Google said trapped nerve. I just don't know.... Also have ibs ect. If I was a horse they would shoot me. Lol big loving warm hugs hun. And good luck with baby number two ❤️👌🙌
