How I was diagnosed with MS (Multiple Sclerosis)

I explain the steps involved in getting to my final MS diagnosis in this video.

[@ravengale]

I was on your path and stopped at the MRI. You've just inspired me to return. I'm calling my neurologist tomorrow.

[@nelliepeople413]

thank you so much for this video. no one knows your body but yourself and ppl always love to become dr and tell you what you feel and what you have. argh!!!!!

[@ravengale]

I wanted to thank you for posting this. It was because of what you said that I went to have a spinal tap. It was done today so I'm just relaxing on the couch. I'll find out all my results in 3 weeks. I'll come back with those when I get them.

Thanks for posting this. I know you posted this a little more than 2 years ago but your information has been inspiring to me. I am struggling now to find out what is wrong with me. For a while I have thought that I had Connective Tissue Disease, due to rupyured breast implants. I am now having neuralogical symtoms. I am seeing neurologists, rhumatologists, and others. Right now none of them agree on anything. So I will keep on them. Thanks again and I hope that you are doing well.

Hello! I was recently in ER. I had been feeling exhausted and other things over a few weeks. But the left side of my face and bottom lip became numb. That alarmed me to go on to ER. In the case I may have been having a stroke. I have currently been diagnosed w fibromyalgia along w a gamet of other things. While at the ER the neurologist mentioned that I was having symptoms of MS. We tried for a MRI twice. But claustrophobia prevented that. I saw my PCP and she is referring me to a neurologist. So grateful for your post. I see that your posts have been up for years. So I am asking for now 2016 how you are coming along in this journey?

[@xXAvrilAtHeartXx]

Thank you so much for this information! my CT came back clean and i'm waiting for my mri results but if that's normal results I will ask for a spinal tap so thank you! :)

[@donotconcede]

Thanks so much. I sure do wish my thoughts were as gathered and efficient as yours. I'm all over the place in my videos, due to being unable to focus. Sounds like you have some good doctors. I had to learn on my own about MS, but I am switching neurologists to a good one at Hopkins. Again, I appreciate your videos. heh i wish my own were as cohesive as yours. :) hugs, Judy

You are so gorgeous...thank you for using your platform to serve...

[@georgenep1082]

Hi Tamika, I'm not sure but i know my body has been terrible to me for about 1 year. I thought vertigo, I had a blood clot maybe it's that but I was told my symptoms sound like MS. I'm afraid of what's to come but happy someone finally heard my cries. I'll be in touch!

You must have some doctor to be able call back and call back. If I do that, I get fired as a patient. They are so very CRUEL and CRIMINAL. God bless.

[@rvquilter83]

Did you have to wear an eye patch to correct your eye problem? My son is having to wear a patch to hopefully correct the problem. Thank you for your videos, it's helping me understand what he is going through.

[@85jaded]

ty for your videos

[@kin1766]

I'm a little confused as to how you managed to get the diagnosis with only one lesion. I'm obviously not disputing it and I'm really pleased for you that you were able to get the clarification...but I only have one lesion, had an abnormal spinal tap and spent a week in hospital with sensory and physical symptoms yet was told I couldn't get a diagnosis as I've only had one attack and one lesion. If I get more a diagnosis will follow. I'm just curious how yours worked out so differently.

[@phillipclements282]

You have really cool eye shadow

[@christinedavi]

so what meds do they want you on? Thanks for the informativen video. Christine

[@selleisa121626]

How are you doing now?

[@Christmasqueen84]

I’m kind of on this same path. My neurologist I’m sure has results of my spinal tap and cervical/thoracic spine mri but has not called (and I’m sure won’t) to share results. I have one more appt with a nuero opthamologist next week and then my follow up with my neurologist to get all my results isn’t until nov 1st! It’s killing me to have to wait another month.

What was happening to your eyes?

[@sineadtbc3338]

Did anything traumatic ever happen to you that may have triggered the MS do you think? Wishing you all the best xx

[@TheDetroitblack]

I feel horrible.... I have every symptom of MS for years,even when they read the test,they saw the white brain matter on my brain,and they tried to say it's because of my age lol and I was 53 at the time,now I'm 57 and I can barley walk some days,I have horrible pain in my back around by my neck and now I can't sleep anymore,it's so many different issues when I have a flare up...I feel like I have been looked over and I don't wanna live anymore,it just hurts and I have no support, can't find a doctor I'm at the end of my rope!!

[@bethany2nirvana]

What do you have exactly? i was tested for ms and came back negative. But just my head. I live in a dizzy world, ear symptoms, arm and leg symptoms, my neck and shoulder hurt, muscle spasms..etc..sucks but im hoping to get to the bottom of all this.

Spinal tap is too risky. I know of a few ladies who became permanently paralyzed, and only lived a few years afterwards. One lady attempted to sue, gave an attorney the fifty thousand dollar retainer he demanded, for the medical malpractice involving The Huntington Memorial Hospital in Pasadena, California. That rotten attorney took her money, and fled the country. That attorney was also located in Pasadena, but I cannot recall his name, or if she even gave me his name. I may have forgotten to ask her because I was so upset about my own dire situation. Also, there was an older lady who wore a medic alert bracelet, which the same hospital, The Huntington Memorial, ignored. She nearly died as a result. She told me she was suing them. I wonder how her case turned out? I did not ask her for her telephone number or anything else. Then there was a case where that very same hospital committed malpractice on the daughter of a woman named Betty Newton, many years ago. Her daughter died, and she failed to sue them, or perhaps could not, way back then. That hospital scares the hell out of me. All I hear about them is horrible news. I do not ever want to go there.

[@Mojosfire]

I envy anyone who can have a good neurologist asses them. I'm on state healthcare insurance, and even though the neurologist found of abnormal brisk reflexes, and missing reflexes, Vertigo, and very noticeable tremors in my hands. I was told I probably just keep my feelings inside, and it's just stress. This is on top of all the typical MS symptoms, and not having an MRI yet. Now I have been having falls. My legs keep going out on me. :(

Thank you for sharing, you are welcome to check out my story as well. It's always great to build a support system

[@henryd5078]

skin sensitive? all my blood came back negative. My problem might be related to the Gulf war , at least you didn't have ALS which is a death sentence ...

[@bethany2nirvana]

oh no sorry, see thats why Im worried. If they dont ever see it, it wont get treated and I will get worse :( Im scared enough as it is. I dont know of any other condition that could cause all these symptoms though. The only difference is my symptoms are ALWAYS there. They dont come and go. Is that unlike MS?
