How are you doing now? I have been diagnosed 13yrs, though it's suspected to have been surely going for atleast 25yrs. I am now 43yo and have had no meds and plan to keep it that way no matter what. I was doing exceptionally well considering, worst concern being reoccurring optic neuritis, until I had extreme mobility issues suddenly begin around 2yrs ago. Life stresses were exceptionally extreme during that time and I believe that was my trigger. I have not heard of many who have opted for NO meds. I'm glad for all the good time while it lasted, and I'll extract all that God affords me here on out. I do so hope your outcome is still going strong 💪🏻😊

[@rosieposie9564]

@@LittleRedHenNat I am pleased that you are doing well but I read your comments and I am wondering if you shouldn't be reconsidering the drugs given you are having mobility issues. I am not on drugs either so I do understand not wanting to be on them. I plan to go on them eventually and mobility issues would cause me to consider going on them even sooner. I respect your judgment and choices however.

​@@mishaalzk6033 my first symptom came out of the blue. Over the span of 1-2 days I went blind in my left eye and even with steroids it never recovered. Prior to this never had a single symptom. Often people with MS experience numbness, tingeling, extreme exhaustion, difficulty walking, muscle twitching, optic neuritis (what I had) - vision issues that occur over the span of a week and then disappear (for most), bladder issues and many others. The problem with MS is it impacts the nervous system - it can quite literally impact anything in your body, that's a reason it is a horrific disease.

I was diagnosed when I was 27 years old, now 47 still working out daily. I remember asking why me when I had to say to myself, why not me?

Thank you for this video and for sharing your personal story. My mom was diagnosed with MS in June 2007. All of these years she has had very little issues and symptoms up until about a year ago when she woke up one morning and realized she was having issues walking. Now everyday she walks with a cane because her legs feel weak and she cannot stand for long periods of time. She had to go on unemployment and her neurologist told her she is considered permanently disabled. I can see it in my mother that she still has the potential to be the normal mother she was but this disease has made her feel like there is no way out for her and that she will never be the same again. I am trying to help her set goals and plans for what we can do to make her feel like a normal human again.

[@abdullahhussein6024]

Where you put on any dmt for your ms and what kind where you diagnosed with?

[@chadmichael_]

The, "I've gotta be strong for my family" is a common personality trait of people with MS. Chronically compulsively being more worried about the feelings of other people than your own. This is a coping mechanism from trauma. This disease and all other autoimmune conditions are caused by trauma. The fact that he admitted that deep down he was terrified yet he's not showing those emotions. He's stuffing them down. When the emotional centers of his brain are no longer doing their job, you know, expressing emotions to keep him from being overwhelmed by stress (cortisol) inducing life events (ie expressing anger to keep toxic people away etc), the other parts of the body start trying to stop you from engaging in those stress inducing behaviors. Your immune system is incredibly intelligent. It will do everything it can to try and wake you up. The only way to go into remission is to listen. This does happen and the only people who go into remission are the ones who learn this lesson.

@@LordFergiehi, can you share what symptoms u felt that led u to ur diagnosis

[@LordFergie]

@mishaalzk6033 hi mate I wish I could share exactly what my symptoms were but i was actually diagnosed because it was accidently found. I attended hospital for frequent headaches I got an mri and they found 2 lesions in the brain I had a proper just 3 years before and they looked back and noticed it wasn't on the scan then. I don't even know if the headaches were caused by ms but they have definitely calmed down now and are less frequent. Looking back however I can maybe tell you some signs to look for. I actually ended up waking up one day with something called foot drop I couldn't lift my foot . I could if I lifted my legs but my toes wouldn't lift up the way and I couldn't balance on my heel. So nerve damage is one to look out for it can be as bad as that or as simple as the persistent burning sensation I get on the side of my neck. Another sign is vertigo, I get very bad vertigo that comes on randomly and is debilitating but only for a few seconds. I'd say my biggest symptom looking back is memory problems, brain fog and problems recalling things like actors names etc or forgetting what you are saying mid sentence. Muscle weakness or pain in muscles from too much activity. Spasms in calf muscles from walking too much etc .. everyone Is different but I guess they would be my top symptoms so far .. connective tissue problems like pain in the pictorial area when touched with fingers.

Sara and Matt, I am so sorry that you both are having to deal with this. When I was first diagnosed a few years ago I thought my world was going to end. Everyone’s story is different, you have to decide who you want to be moving forward and take the steps to become a mindful person who chooses positivity and healing. At the beginning MS took many things from me, the biggest was my mental confidence and mental well being. As time passed I gained it back and learned that MS also gave me more appreciation for the good things in life. I finished my degree with highest honors and have positioned myself for promotions at my job. I’m going back to school to obtain a masters degree as well and I spend more time with my family than I ever did when I was “healthy”, and enjoy working out on my good days. I’m slower than I used to be but I’m still super handsome, lol. Don’t let this disease define you, fight for everything and best of luck to you both!

[@zekeekrkrkr__2320]

Ms is a disease in which the immune system eats away at the protective covering of nerves. In MS, resulting nerve damage disrupts communication between the brain and the body. Physical therapy and medications that suppress the immune system can help with symptoms and slow disease progression.

Hi thank you for sharing your story 🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️My boyfriend had Ms for about 15 yrs before he found out, he had a relapse and he was in the hospital for about a month and doctors told him he was never gonna walk again 😢but he walked out of that hospital and one week later we went on our first date that was 8 yrs ago and still walking and still together ❤️ God has blessed us both with each other . I love him with everything I got 💗💓💗💓 I'm so scared about what's gonna happen in the next 10 yrs ? Is he gonna be in a wheelchair?. Is he gonna be able to do things ? But we are doing everything and anything to live healthy and do everything doctors tell him to . Ones again thank you for sharing truly appreciate it God bless you and family keep up the good work God bless you

yes..people become progressive or spms after 15-30 years of rrms...if you get hsct early in rrms it is likely you never become spms

Dear Lord Jesus, please be with this man hold him

[@latoyastew]

Woah, this just dug up all feelings and emotions I experienced when I was diagnosed back in 2003. I had similar thoughts and fears and was terrified. I have since done a lot of reading about the disease and undergone various treatments, and now I don't fear it as much. I wish this man the best! It's tough, but we're tougher! 🧡

[@sweetov5]

Omg that fatigue is heart breaking... having children makes it more difficult because they just want to play and we can't keep up.

[@timothywood400]

I suppose to have a shot tomorrow but I get so sick afterwards 🤧 I'm now in the mind set that I'd be better off without the treatment I've never been so sick or had so many flare ups since taking the treatment.

[@pretty_wingz]

Which shot is it? Please tell me

[@timothywood400]

Tysabri I'm not sure how to spell it but it's going alot better for me now the first few shots made me sick

[@johnniemorgan8653]

PSA: Look into grounding and earthing if you are suffering from MS and also look in the Paleo Diet.

Do you get bad side effects from that? Has it stopped your symptoms?

[@karencooper2703]

@D_money No, I haven't. It has gone smoothly. I pray you find the best meds for you. Don't give in...don't give up.

[@iloveshaakah]

God has you.❤

[@momsmushroomsjodyfoster5786]

Thanks for sharing your story. I'm wondering why you had to have four MRIS? I am currently being tested for MS. My symptoms started during about of covid with tingling in my right leg which spread to my right arm then a couple weeks later jumped to the other side so all four limbs or tingling. Then I began to have Painful uncontrolled muscle cramps, muscle twitches like where my fingers start just moving by themselves. My vision is going out so fast it's incredible. I have terrible fatigue, depression, weakness and muscle wasting. Specifically my group muscles have shrink so much I can feel my bones and the weird thing is I hike miles and miles with my dogs regularly. So I have been very active for many years and suddenly my muscles are just wasting away before my eyes

[@bmannion511]

MRIs are used to check for the presence of active lesions and scarring of the brain and spinal cord. It’s one definitive sign of the disease. Lesions may not show up on a scan in the early stages, so multiple scans are sometimes needed to support an accurate diagnosis. My first scan was clear. My symptoms are progressing now, so I expect to have another. Best of luck to you. I hope you are finding relief. It may be too early, but Happy holidays to you and your family.

[@soravrathi2273]

​@@bmannion511after how much time lesions seen on mri I have symptoms from last three month but I have clear mri

[@Norahungary]

omg I also had/have the shaky vision and the stepping into water sign

[@florabraswell-nm1re]

Thank You so much 🙏❤️

[@mitchellh6885]

I have double vision that comes and goes and sometimes I feel so tired and cannot think clearly, I am searching for answers and I had an MRI of the brain done but they said it was normal. I heard you say that you had 4 MRI's done before they found something. These issues come and go and I just don't know, thanks for posting this video.

[@bartsimpson-k4i]

[@mary-vy3mo]

[@rodrigoturcios593]

I was diagnosed a 2 years ago and for the first time I experienced new symptoms and it’s so scary, I’m only 34yo 😞

[@justinscott508]

Thank you

[@diesixfive4767]

Relatable af I thought I just pulled something too

[@MrBollywood1020]

I just got diagnosed in March (so like 5months now). I’ve been placed on Ocrevus infusion therapy but days where I just can’t physically do much is very hard to accept because at 31 I feel like I should be able to do all these things and I just break down because there’s so much I still want to do. Thankfully my wife is extremely supportive and has been my rock through it all ❤
