Don't you love those @#$% people?!! I get the same, theres so much more to MS than mobility alone! My main issues are cognitive and other 'invisible ' symptoms. I feel like I need to 'apologize ' to those who want to criticize for NOT being in a wheelchair!!

It was in 1978 and my parents primary care told my father that my mother was just drunk? With 5 of us kids at home to care for! It wasn't until she seen the optometrist that she first even heard of MS. Shortly after that was the neurologist and then after that she was in a wheel chair! I was 12 and terrified I can't imagine how she felt! All these years and she's never complained! She's the strongest woman I've ever known ! Love you mom!

My mother had MS my whole life. By the time she was finially diagnosed she was 27 and already in a wheelchair. Her scarring was worse that the model her nuerologist had in his office. She lost control of her hands, legs, eyes, and even forgot my name a few times. She passed at 42 and I miss her everyday. I hate MS. She did not deserve to suffer as she did. No one does.

RELATABLE

[@d314159]

I'm in my early 60s and have had MS for about 40 years. As an athlete it has really impacted my whole life, to such an extent that I even needed a wheelchair about 20 years ago. However, I have never found anything that even comes remotely close to exercise for helping with the symptoms. Sure, it's very easy to overdo things and suffer terribly afterwards - I still do that all the time. But playing the long game, it's definitely a case of use it or lose it.

[@d314159]

Oh, I forgot to say that on very good days I can still do a 5k parkrun in 23mins (with a total hip replacement) and no-one would know there is anything wrong!

Thanks for posting. I was diagnosed with MS 2 years ago. The only symptoms I experience daily is the odd bodily sensations and some clumsiness. Two years ago it was much worse. I try to focus on the positive aspects - like I can still walk. I often don't disclose that I have MS, but yes, I have had people look at me like I was making it up when I have told them ... it's true, there are "invisible symptoms". I have learned that emotional stress greatly impacts the symptoms. Best to avoid.

I have lived with MS since I was 16 years old, it took another 24 years to get the diagnosis. But I knew. This is a brutal disease.

[@DL-rl9bd]

I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one. I’ve been having symptoms since around 2011. I was referred to a neurologist in 2013, but cancelled the appointment, because I felt better…for a little while. I’ve refused to go again, because of fear of being dismissed or told its “just anxiety”. Well, for the last year I’ve journaled my symptoms, in addition to all the symptoms I can remember experiencing in the past. I’m determined to finally go to a neurologist as soon as I can in the new year (2023).

[@LainyOLainy]

i have been living with the brain fog, pain, fatigue........i can't keep up with my days....... and i worry people may think I am going on, but MS really does make life tough and we do try to work it so it doesnt affect too many people. But please give us a break......If you know someone who is a sufferer... be nice

[@lottieew135]

Simple partial epilepsy :) tried for about half a year to be seen by a neurologist, because my GP thought I was depressed. Then, I had one where mum found I had held my breath, checked it on NHS symptom checker, which came back as a baby-stroke, off we go to A&E, and when a nurse did a pupil reaction I had a seizure right in front of her and my pupils didn't dilate. She got round my GP, to the Trust's neuro hospital, and the neurologist had to get me an MRI to diagnose me. I tell everyone how it became diagnosed, because I don't want others to be left on their own.

Of my, my body goes the same way. I have yet to be diagnosed but have suffered many years. Some days I feel my body is a terrorist and invading my heart mind and especially my physical being. All of my symptoms over the years have gotten so much worse. Some days my body attacks me physically period my muscles atrophy and just start doing their own thing. If anybody has this please tell me , so that I can you be closer to finding out if I have MS or not period all of the symptoms have been treated singly. And none created as a group of symptoms of a certain disease. My physical pain actually make my emotional pain 10 times worse and my emotional pain makes my physical pain 10 times worse. God help me

[@CosmicCat3_0]

I am 40 and sounds like I'm in the same boat as you.just existing and not truly living anymore.i am in the process of being diagnosed and am quite sure it MS, originally my Dr.thought fibromialga but none of those treatments worked.i think it will be important for us to have our proper diagnosis not so much for the label,but to be able to understand ourselves better and have our issues validated.then hopfully can start to feel abit better after getting the right treatment.i have a 9 year old son who I was able to ride bikes with and Rollerblade just a couple of years ago and cannot anymore.that really hurts me.he is my reason for still existing bc otherwise I would have taken myself out for sure by now.but as he grows older and needs me less,I worry that it will be harder if I can't learn to find purpose or reason for MYSELF to get out of that bed each day.

​@epicaninals8713 @TaraConti I'm 47, I have found out that I am 100% predispositioned genetically to have MS and I have about 27 symptoms however I've had a cspine and brain MRI's doc said they were both clean (I had white matter in my brain but said it was "normal".) I was sent to the neuropsychologist and they said it was all in my head! I was a high functioning adult, running, climing, a football coach a cheer coach etc, now I do what I can to go pee and get coffee and food until my husband comes home to take care of me! Why in some places of this country, medical care is horrible and such a fight to get proper care! I don't use a walker, a cane and have a $60k service dog to help me when I fall just for attention! I barely go out cause I don't like to be alone (afraid of having an episode and no one knowing what to do) so I stay home. I'm losing faith in the military health care system! 😢

[@Rprayhard4u]

I was diagnnosed in 1990 and have been blessed in many ways by not having to use a wheelchair or other helps that many use. I recently sold my home and moved because I realized it was time for a one floor home after falling several times. The whole process of selling, packing and moving and now finding places for my things has been such a challenge with my cognitive abilities declining quickly. These videos have shown me to not be so hard on myself and that hope for learning a new way may be my answer. I am switching treatments because I dont think my copaxone is as effective; my neorologist agrees and it too is scary. Thank you all for your work in this area. sincerely~Robin

[@janetnord1200]

I found out that I have I am ass about 15 years. I have not hey can any prescription for it and my doctor told me that I might become more people as I get older. I think I have had MS most of my life when I realize I was always tired and always take a nap. I will be 80 years old next month and haven't fallen down. I have a walker to make sure I don't fall. Right now I'm speaking into my phone and writing a text. I can still drive and can put my walker in my car by myself.

[@Chimonger1]

+Nancy Turner It's amazing to what lengths a supposed "professional" might go, to protect their standing...even lie about patients/clients, even, as yours did, committing you--to avoid admitting they just don't know how to help someone! Or, threatening to report innocent parents to CPS, or doing that and have the children removed from the home, to protect the "professional's" own bullying tactics and inability to listen to clients, or use their training responsibly or accountably. Docs refusing to evaluate/test a child for ASD, only to instead accuse parents of abuse, could cause much harm, including death...those professionals stand on their accusations, certain of themselves in the face of public scrutiny; their main care is the survival of their income. It's up to all of us, to Report that kind of bullies, or otherwise get them to HEAR what we are telling them, properly. Yes, it can be dangerous to report them; understand that; put your ducks in a row to protect yourself first, as much as you can. They don't usually stop their behaviors without a fight. Sometimes, the best action is to 'do nothing' but let the system catch them, by making sure that your incident is "on the books": in your medical records [which you keep copies of!], and, in various venues of filing complaints----the BBB, Yelp, etc. Stick to just the facts, keep it short and on-point. Avoid allowing emotions into it, kinda like you did with your post here. I've learned that the Corporate game of "using the ladder" of responsibility, does NOT convey protection of the client. Clients are used to generate income to all those along the way, who have their fingers in the justice pie..all ya gotta do is look into the "DivorceCorp" [documentary available on Netflix] justice system, to learn that---it's a mind-bogglingly huge collection of profiteers milking the systems. Medicine is not much different.

I just fired my neurologist and am currently waiting to be picked up by U of M, all my neurologist cared about was keeping me on meds and then sending me out the door to deal with my issues myself. Because of the lack of response and general caring by my neurologist I lost my long term disability I paid for through work, stating I don’t get involved in that stuff. I understand not wanting to be involved in insurance issues and all I asked for was a accurate reporting of my struggles, but he seemed not to want to hear about problems I was having and as long as I could walk and communicate well he just did the normal strength and coordination tests and sent me out the door. For many years I worked full time, ran my own tree business on the side (pretty much full time also, as well as racing bikes triathlon, and motorcycles. Now I struggle to even get started on the smallest projects, just knowing how much of a slog it may become and knowing I am incapable of even half of what I was, is very depressing. I am still trying to get Liberty Mutual to resume payments but the law is structured in their favor and they make it very difficult.

I am glad I found this. I do have a symptom that is not MS related that I am fighting so hard to have corrected. Don't be afraid to expect regular considerations of your symptoms before hearing the "easy way out" without proper evaluation. And don't become dejected if your doctor feels you are not a doctor in considering it. If you have accepted the fact that you have MS, go with your gut and even a second opinion.

My husband and I think I maybe suffering with MS. In 2015 I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and many of the symptoms are similar or crossover. I have all the symptoms, fatigue, insomnia , I can get to sleep but staying asleep is incredibly difficult by 4 am most nights I’m awake and twitching/ muscles jerking uncontrollably and it’s very distressing. visual disturbances, highly overactive bladder it’s not unusual for me to pee every 10/15 minutes day and night( everything else been ruled out, diabetes kidney disease etc). Bowel problems put down to IBS. numbness and pins and needles in my arms, hands and legs. Very emotional I can cry at anything and nothing, I’m fine one minute then the next I’m just in tears. Swallowing I regularly choke on my food and drink. I have sleep apnoea, Gerd, my balance has been terrible for years and I know mobilise with crutches. I can’t seem to regulate my temperature, I feel warm to the touch but internally I’m so cold if I take my temperature ( to check for infection or fever) and it’s 35 ! Cognitive problems, I sometimes really struggle to find the words I want to use either in speech or written words. It’s frightening, you worry that you have dementia or you’re going crazy and when no one listens or takes notice of you it makes it even harder. Is it any wonder by Blood pressure has been sky high and despite tablets we can’t get it down…. I’m at my whits end right now, I’ve had an horrendous Christmas and New Year waking at 4 am every day and not being able to get back to sleep. It not only disturbs and distresses me but disturbs my husband. It’s getting me down I’m not quite at the point of being suicidal yet..nor do I want to get there, but it scares me feeling the only way out of this is….

I have all these symptoms and for 18 months. 5 months ago I was diagnosed with vitamin B12 ,B, D and iron deficiency (severe). My partner at the time was short of patience with my symptoms. Especially clumsiness, inability to walk as fast as him, unstable on my feet. Only when I left the UK in April and said something to my mom that she made an appointment for me. I was so used to the symptoms, and blamed my lockdown obesity. Especially the horrible pins and needles across my body. The symptoms have not gone away, but worsened. I can't afford extensive tests, so hope the vitamin shots will be all I need. Ideally I did have further tests. Her local doctor luckily did the blood tests.

My suffering grows more severe with every passing day and whenever I reach out to the only neurologist I'm allowed to see, he deliberately blocks access to any medical intervention, delays or refuses MRI scans, and always claims his actions are a "misunderstanding." He always blames his underlings, like receptionists, for failing to be a physician. How can I possibly continue to live in this situation?????????

I had numb and tingles for a month on a constant this was my second time this year it had happened and also could barely hold a pencil and my knees were stiff. I've had server vertigo last year and double vision but it was never put together to be diagnosed. 3 days ago I went to the ER and they got blood work done and rushed me to get a CT scan where I was told 30mins later they believed I had MS, then was rushed to see a neurologist next door and he said it would be beneficial to start steroids to battle my MS attack, I'm on my 2nd dose and the numbness has started to go away, ill be getting more blood work done, Xrays and RMI scan soon. I try to be brave but it's been a lot of information and I feel like I'm a reality show.

I strongly believe I have MS.. in my heart I know that's what it is. he said it looks like it is but he's willing to figure out whatever it is.. so why can't my neurologist figure this out instead of saying idk what's wrong with you, or are you stressed out.. if someone ask me that one more damn time I'm going to scream at the doctors office.. it's so crazy that I had to go see a chiropractic for him to figure the first step out

Very interesting. I was diagnosed with severe fibromyalgia a few years ago, following a horse riding accident. I broke part of my neck around c5 and c6, and it impacted on my spinal cord. I can no longer work and get chronic pain, chronic fatigue and cognitive dysfunction, brain fog. I spend about 2 or 3 days a week bed bound almost. I searched KZbin as I have been getting periods where I get shakes or tremors all over my body. These have become more frequent over the past years. This put me onto this MS video, and I am struck how similar my fibromyalgia symptoms are to MS. Maybe I should see my doctor about the shakes, in case it could be MS. What do people think?

My friend took 12 years to be diagnosed. My daughter took 7 years to be diagnosed with lupus. I was originally diagnosed with fibromyalgia but more symptoms and my gp thinks I have ms. Interesting times ahead

I don't have MS, but I have pretty much all the symptoms listed here. My Neurologist said it is old age at 22 years old. I said it is probably something that hasn't been discovered yet or an under recognized condition and he should say he doesn't know. We disagree.

Thanks, excellent explanation, I will recommend this video for anyone that had MS like me.

Very informative video, but it's not captioned. I was just diagnosed and have deaf family members that I would like to show them this video, but I can't because it's not captioned :(. Also deaf people can get MS too!

Its a wonder that are are sooo many people out there who have this condition U cant make out who has or hasn't it Some of us dont show any physical symptoms but feel the most awful emotions n pain 💔 Plus u go thro sooo much with partners, family n friends....u seem alone especially if u have small kids who also have autoimmune conditions N STRESS can aggravate the condition Healthcare must reconsider new n more affordable means for growing numbers of people with these conditions Something has to be done

So much makes sense now. Looking back.... Alllll these crazy crazy symptoms & freaky weird pain. The brain fog, the exhaustion.... The progression over the past decade. The seeking of answers on deaf ears in the medical community. Damn this disease. Haven't been officially diagnosed yet. But, neurologist and spine doc both think so. The more I learn, so do I. I have a spine lesion. I've been blaming a bad vascular system, and spine, on my problems. They are, but this is so much more. Half of left hand numb. Arm strength completely gone in both. And all that weird pain. It all makes sense now..... Scares me to think this could and probably will get worse in time. Not scared. Annoyed, violated. What a challenge. Have a spine fusion coming up soon. Sad to think, my issues may very well remain.😥

They need to do a lumbar puncture to rule out anything else. Cause there is no definitive test for MS. I was diagnosed in 2020. I'm sorry you are going through a bunch of bs. I know how frustrating it is to deal with folks that have selective hearing!!! Good luck on your journey! 🧡😊🧡
